Biggest Silliest Dumb-Ass TV Election Night Gimmick.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

MSNBC's skating rink map. Tom Brokaw is going to skate
in circles on a state and it will change to red or blue
when he suddenly stops with ice spraying and the MSNBC
orchestra blasting the state song. Unbelievable. Still,
I can't wait.

1. For real? n/t

[A-Schwarzenegger]

21. I am only telling you what was transmitted to me.

[Avalux]

2. LOL!

Love your description! I can't wait either!

[eataTREE]

3. You've got to be kidding me.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

22. I doubt I would do that.

[slestak]

4. you are shitting me

I knew about the skating-rink map, but the orchestra and Brokaw on skates? No way.

5. Hope Tawnya Harding comes out with a crowbar :-)

[Shopaholic]

8. Well the part about the USA map/Skating Rink is true

Don't know if they'll all be skating around it though. Like the idea though. . . esp. the Tonya Harding part.

10. bwahahaha (nt)

6. Too bad Kerry can't skate out with his hockey team!

That would be some great TV!!!

[faithnotgreed]

14. kerry could take on entire nbc team - by himself!

[dogtag]

18. Bring it on! I'd love to see those candy asses take the ice.

7. You forgot the climactic cow chip toss.

After Hawaii's results come in in the middle of the night, Brokaw will then toss the 25 lb. cow chip into either the Bush or the Kerry wicker basket. Then he will unsheath his mighty broadsword, loft it heavenward and let out a manly bellow to announce the winner. Then, the "post-election" quaff of mead. Huzzah!

9. What the?

[chieftain]

11. Amen !

[Mr_Spock]

12. That's gay!! (not that there's anything wrong with that)

:D

[Rose Siding]

13. In a loin cloth, right?

It won't have the same impact without a loin cloth.

[Cocoa]

15. "Democracy plaza"

:eyes:

[chefgirl]

16. Boy, I would pay to see that!

I think Keith Olberman summed it up perfectly the other night when he said, "Good Evening and welcome to Democracy on Ice".

Gotta love Keith Olberman.

17. Will he be wearing pink tu-tu ?

[AspenRose]

19. It's Brokaw's last election night, he probably petitioned for it himself

Wanted to go out with a bang....

[A-Schwarzenegger]

20. CORRECTION.

It is TWO TEAMS teams of skaters.
When a state goes Dem, Brian Williams will skate out
carrying Peggy Noonan on his shoulders, spin, spray
ice, orchestra, then he will flip Noonan backwards and hopefully
she will not land on her head, and when a state goes Repube,
Andrea Mitchell will skate out carrying Brokaw and
shifting him from hip to hip, spin, ice spray,
orchestra, and then throw Brokaw off her hip and
Tweety is supposed to catch him. Beyond that, I cannot
say. I'm feeling a little giddy about the whole thing,
to tell you the truth.
