Dick Van Dyke says Bernie won the debate.

[moondust]

So there it is.

On Lawrence O'Donnell's show tonight. I hadn't seen him for many years. Looks and sounds real good. He's 89 and says he voted for Truman and Eisenhower, and I think he said he remembers FDR on the radio. Very cool dude.

I guess that settles it.

[procon]

1. Is this a joke?

[moondust]

2. Nope. n/t

[procon]

6. Sorry, I had no idea things were that bad.

[moondust]

8. You probably

don't even know who that is.

[slipslidingaway]

3. Saw that ... he thought Bernie had the right ideas. nt

[reformist2]

4. If he could help shift the AARP crowd to Bernie, that would be awesome!

[redstateblues]

5. Huge endorsement!

very influential

[beam me up scottie]

7. Jeesh! Some people have no sense of humour!

I'll rec your op, glad to see Dick is still alive and kicking!

[Armstead]

9. I was surprised at how politically aware he is. Strange to hear Rob Petrie say "oligarchy."

Never thought of him that way.

[moondust]

12. Very aware.

I think I heard him kind of grumble that he's afraid it may be too late.

[one_voice]

10. Oh...I thought he'd died...

I'm glad he didn't but I thought he did. I thought it was some sort of ghost joke when I read the subject...

13. He and his brother were on the show 'The Middle' last season.

Seems sharp as a tac although maybe a little frail. But he's 89 fricken years old!!

His brother looks good too. I think he is a little younger but a little more frail.

14. Oh Rob....

15. Jinx! Buy me a coke, cui bono.

I was scrolling down the thread, planning to quote Mary Tyler Moore's Laura Petry.


But back to serious analysis. Dick Van Dyke is NOT scientific!!!!! It does not matter that we was in Mary Poppins. He is just not scientific -- so there, Sanders Supporters.

[cui bono]

16. I was trying to find a video of it on youtube...

but actually couldn't!

[DaveT]

18. I bet that Mary's Other Co-Star is for Sanders, too.

But Ed Asner is not scientific, either.

I think us Sanders folk just have to face it. Science is for Hillary.

[cui bono]

19. Yup.

Here I found this!

21. Thanks for digging that up -- fond memory

A note on being able to remember the Dick Van Dyke Show and the Mary Tyler Moore Show.


In the last few weeks, I have run into several people who are at not all that young -- close to 40 -- who never heard of Ted Baxter. That really made me feel old. . . .

[cui bono]

22. Remember when Ted Baxter was just a caricature?

Now we have an entire station full of Ted Baxters in real life!

Btw... there's tons of full episodes of the Dick Van Dyke show on youtube!

17. OK. For the confused and the kiddies.
