I'm Still Stuck on "The Tie"
I just can't stop thinking about the reason why he would have that electric tie on for the "Bring In The Clown Show" last night!

Where were his Press Specialists? Any airhead would know that THE TIE added to the Circus Like Quality of the event.
Donald Trump would have said to the WH Press Specialists.... YOU'RE FIRED!

Now that we have had a day to think about it...What Was With The Tie?

:crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

:crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

3. Oh...I HEAR you
This was me last night....

Me: WTF is this? Some subliminal thing? Look at his freaking tie! It's like that hypnotic thing they used in hairspray against the chick dating the black guy.

My hubby: What the helll? Change it! What channel is that?
Those bastards...

Me: Jesus! Look, it's on MSNBC too! Look at that thing!

My hubby: Change the channel to cspan see if they are pulling the same shit.

(channel changes to cspan)

Me: Look! It's almost normal can you believe they tried to pull that?

I think the sickest thing was we both immediately ASSUMED it was some kind of a conspiracy!

What country am I living in that this seems like a normal thought process!?!?!?!?!

4. I'll bet it was a hidden message to the Fundies
They'll think it was God trying to send them a message through Chimp's rainbow tie.

The Rainbow was God's way to promise Noah that they'll be harmony after the Great Flood.

Now "God" is telling them that there is another Great Flood (Iraq War II) that is ridding the earth of "evil ones" and that the Earth will be Harmonious after this.

9. I'm sure the Fundies will pick up on it...
Rove and Co. did it on purpose. Is it tacky? Yes, but then again look at the intended audience.

10. Honey! THAT is exactly what I'M sayin!
No way in hell anyone can convince me that
tie was an accident!
AS IF, they did not do a sound/audio check ahead
of the broadcast?
AS IF the puppet masters behind the Shrub don't
have the BEST make-up and ward robe people
in the business to disguise his scales, tail and horns?
PAH-LEEZE!
That was a signal to the FUNDIES- I have no idea
what, but then again, as a Christian, I have no
clue what goes on in their deceived hearts and minds.
Perhaps we should be scanning the "Left Behind" books
for the acid flash back messages?
ROLF!

7. He wore a tie with tiny checks on it which made the TV go haywire
There were some other threads about this that explained it in technical terms.

The question remains: Why? Didn't his handlers know that one never wears a checked suit or tie on TV? Even I know that, and I've been on TV exactly once in my life. They sent a little note home telling me what not to wear.

Either they are completely stupid or there was some reason. I vote for completely stupid. It's consistent with the rest of the Chimpy team behavior.

16. incompetence?
they do display incompetence at almost everything, but Rove is supposed to be this manipulative political super-genius and its hard to imagine them not knowing about how the tie would look.

Maybe they're so desperate & in such disarray that they dropped the ball on it? (we can only hope)

Maybe they MIHOP (ha ha) because they knew it would distract some of the morans out there from just how awful Dumbass Dubya's performance was?

Or maybe it was some message to the fundies like people have mentioned above?

I read an interesting piece on how they have Emperor Sock-Puppet use certain phrases that the fundies will pick up but normal people won't realize have a religious connotation. Since the fundies don't believe in science (they reject evolution, so logically they must reject its scientific under pinnings) so to them an interference pattern must be some sort of magic <slight sarcasm off>

8. Sometimes it looked like it was flickering in
a flame of Psychadelic colors.

Other times it looked like a broken neon sign.

He should save it for the Christmas party, it was much too festive for such a serious topic.

11. And what about his "do?"
Was he attempting to look like Tony Blair?

You'd think with the kind of money he's making off this war he could afford to get his hair cut. It looked like he had a hair weave by Brillo. It still had the comb marks in the top where he had used gel or it was oily; on the sides, it stood out all-which-a-way.

Someone said it was hiding the antenna for his ear piece. Maybe it was the antenna for his ear piece. :evilgrin:

Sorry, that was really catty.

12. Tie Was To Throw Us Off The Ear



It could be that the weird tie would keep us so dizzy that we would not even notice the left ear looked strangely like there was a piece of plastic inside.

And for good measure they added the bad hair day look!

Did you see him lean over about half way through the Clown Show as if he had water in his ear?

13. It's Stage One of the Reassertion of British Control
over the Colonies. You see, the tie looked perfectly normal on the (British) PAL TV system, but as seen on NTSC, it has hypnotised all viewers. No, there's a subconscious message now looping in your brain - 'I like tea, I owe 200 years back taxes to the British Exchequer, I will accept troops quartered in my house ...'

People of the Colonies, your new Governor-General arrives today. After consultation with the New World Order General Annan, Anthony Charles Lynton Blair will formally take over control from the Hypnotic Chimp that Jane Goodall trained so well all those years ago. If you thought you were getting the vote by rebelling in 1776, think again - real votes are done with pencil and paper. Surely you realised that 'chad' is an Anglo-Saxon word? Bwah-hah-hah-hah-haaahhhh ....

14. The Portal to Candyland!
My favorite description of "The Tie"! And ain't it the truth?...... What would Bush's brain be? The Peanut Brittle Forest? Molasses Mountain? Gumdrop Gulch?
