Trump's "There, That Oughta Hold The Little Bastards" Moment...

[TrollBuster9090]

Don Carney was host of a 1940s children's radio show called 'Uncle Don's' Urban legend has it that in 1947 he finished his radio show, then forgot that his mic was still on when he said "There, that oughta hold the little bastards."

Take a look at Don the Con's 'that oughta hold the little bastards moment' after making his forced, zombie like COVID-19 (aka 'the FOREIGN VIRUS) address to the nation. You'll hear the technician say 'we're clear,' and Trump squeezes out a pre-adolescent "oookaaaay..."

1. Good God, he REALLY is not taking this seriously.

[Scarsdale]

2. The ONLY thing he

takes seriously is the money he is raking in at all his properties, thanks to the emoluments clause which he ignores.

3. They covered this at C&L and

half the responses I read at the time were the likes of "Oh I dunno, I think it makes him more human."

Me, to self: "Oh, go to hell. This isn't your damn drinking buddy. This is a crisis. He's supposed to be the *president of the United States. He's supposed to act like a fucking grown-up."

Wikipedia says the legend of Don Carney's supposed "little bastards" crack isn't true, but it's still good to know the origin of the Gabbo/Kent Brockman gag:

4. I still have a recording of that!

There was a pair of 45 RPM records my parents had, and that was on it.

"Good night, little friends good night! I'll be back tomorrow with all my little friends"

"We're off."

"That ought to hold the little bastards for the night."

By the next morning, someone had lost their job............

7. This legend seems to have been attributed, at one time or another, to virtually everyone who

...had ever hosted a show for youngsters on radio or television. Adults who grew up in America during the years of radio’s prominence between the world wars tended to name whichever local children’s host they listened to or were most familiar with as the culprit. Those who grew up after television became a fixture in American households were more likely to identify one of the many ubiquitous kiddie TV personalities as the guilty party.

9. This was the first time I ever heard that Schafer supposedly "recreated" some of the bloopers

"Pardon My Blooper" was a classic for decades. If he falsified any of them, it sure took long enough for him to get called on it. My parents bought those records in the 1950s and went to their graves thinking every one of them was real.

5. He is SUCH an asshole!

I hate him with a passion.

6. As bad as this is - it's not bad enough...

We need a Lonesome Rhodes moment
