1. Genius!

:D

[GreenPartyVoter]

2. ROFL

[shotten99]

3. Thanks! You made my day!

[sandyj999]

4. Love it! n/t

[Democracyinkind]

5. OMG ... The real-life MAUDE FLANDERS... Unbelievable!

Edit: Watched it again, and realized it's not real. She is obviously acting/playing out a script. That would have been too classic.

[Buzz Clik]

6. Sleeping giant... perhaps. Mental giant ... not so much.

Great clip.

[TheEuclideanOne]

9. Totally Brilliant

Semi-unrelated: What that lady (not the one here) originally said "You Woke a Sleeping Giant", talking about her new interest in politics, I thought to myself that she must really think alot of herself to consider her new interest in politics as a "Sleeping Giant". Geez. I actually thought that this was related to her, but was pleasantly surprised to see this brilliant parody.

[demwing]

18. In all honesty, I think she was referring to the group that she associated with

and whom she believes is a "giant" - the Tea Baggers

[DMNinFL]

7. 50 seconds and on

is really classic! Reminds me of the little lecture the dean of the college told flounder in Animal House.

8. Well played!

Excellent parody.

[eShirl]

10. a great, big STOOPID giant

[mikelgb]

11. wow nice acting

[ro1942]

12. wonderful

great way to start a day, thanks

[maxpower]

13. Please tell me this is a joke.

N/T



Peace

[butterfly77]

23. It is but...

yesterday they showed the real thing with this woman crying and shaking and believing this garbage. I wanted to slap her and tell her to snap out of it..

[maxpower]

45. Get in line

I'm sure there are plenty people who would like to do the same.

[rambler_american]

58. KInda like this?

LOL!

[maxpower]

59. Eactly like that

Nicely Done


Peace
Max

[butterfly77]

65. Exactly..

[svpadgham]

14. Does anyone actually do scrapbooking?

I see all the stuff for sale for scrapbooking at stores, but then my wife always finds the stuff at garage sales. It's never opened, and sold for dirt cheap. We buy it, and she uses it for decoupage.

[billionbucks]

15. At first I thought this was real

and I was about to get maaaad, then I just started laughing.

[amb123]

17. Well, it sort of is real because

there are people who acutally believe this crap!

:rofl:

[mudplanet]

33. That's what is most spectacular about it. Until

she got to the "fill my kids with transfats" part you couldn't tell if she was the real deal.

[JHB]

39. The first part copy-catted a real one...

...which is what clued me in; "Jesus Christmas! That's practically word for word what that other idiot was saying...." and then she nudged it over the top.

Funny, but not nearly so much if you haven't seen the real fool crying.

[NJCher]

61. link to the real fool?

Oh man, I am so sorry I missed that.

Cher

on edit: links to the real fool are downthread, for anyone else who didn't see the original

[Altoid_Cyclist]

16. This woman has the potential to make it in Hollywood.

I would have started laughing and pissed myself if I tried to give that speech. The scary part is that the RW will probably not get it and try to adopt her as one of their own. Thanks for posting that, I needed a good laugh today.

[asdjrocky]

19. Too damn funny. She was good.

[ScottLand]

20. That's a great lead-in for the speech!

:rofl:

[fascisthunter]

21. ooops

it's not real...

[eagertolearn]

22. Tell me she is actually an actress. This can't be for real, right?

I just read that this was a parody! She is good though.

[demwing]

24. what does she say at the very end ?

Something about a scrapbook?

[green917]

25. She says

"You've awakened a sleeping giant President Obama, a sleeping giant who is to angry to scrapbook!"

LMAO

This is brilliant but also sad due to the fact that this is based in fact.

[CatWoman]

26. um

this is parody, right?

[defendandprotect]

27. Come on . . . that's an actress . . . and this is produced by a comedian . . .!!!

[Joanne98]

28. BRILLIANT! BRAVO!

[liquid diamond]

29. For a second I thought it was real. lol.

[jimlup]

30. This lady way out Beck's Glen Beck

Really, she should advocate to replace him once we get him canned. She is way better than Beck anyway. She actually sounds genuine - she's a great comedy actress!

[DailyGrind51]

32. Was she referring to her libido?

[Gman]

34. I watched it 3 times with my mouth open

then called my wife in and we watched it another 4 or 5 times. Surely this woman is a fantastic actress! Wingers are stupid, but I may be misunderestimating just how stupid they really are. That's the point, we're dealing with some really stupid people so this really might be true. Or did this woman punk CNN?

[Ahpook]

35. hahaha

That about sums it up? :)

[Sigh Sister]

36. I seldom laugh out loud.

This was one of the rare times! ROTFL!!!!!

[skorpo]

37. Well done. Thanks for sharing.

:yourock:

[Kajsa]

38. LOL!

:rofl:

Great job!

[TommyPaine]

40. This woman appears to be from the Onion School of Performing Arts

Brava, brava. :applause:

[Robber M]

41. K&R

HA!

[THale2]

42. Urrrt..I know how you feel...I woke up during the Bush Years...Deal with it

sister...

43. OMG, LOL

:rofl:

[liberal N proud]

44. Nailed them

[FailureToCommunicate]

46. Thanks, Mrhyde719! Of course a sleeping giant WAS awakened on November 4th, thank God,

And they WERE "too angry to scrapbook"!!

[Brigid]

47. OMG!! Give that woman an Oscar!!

This is absolutely priceless! :rofl:

[Pool Hall Ace]

48. About 3 seconds in, you can catch a glimpse of the real blubbering limbecile

who was interviewed the other day. I thought about her as I was listening to the President's speech!

Here's the real crybaby:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x365368

I wonder if she feels foolish now?

[midnight]

49. Lot's of fun to be had with this group. She nailed all the talking

points.

[bertman]

50. happy meals, transfats, and eight hours of teevee. Brilliant. This woman is great.

Did this really play on CNN or was it the Onion?

:rofl: :rofl:

"he wants kids to study hard, which we all know is a slippery slope to becoming a nazi!"

That should go down as a classic.

Thank you Mrhyde719.

[Crowman1979]

51. Great! More weeping, renting of clothes and gnashing of teeth!

[Adams Wulff]

52. I found the inspiration to the above video

Just as funny in a scary way

[scarface2004]

55. i m so glad i didn t have a 'right wing mom'

she was bad enough as it was!!

[Barbara2423]

56. That was funny, funny. Thanks.

[Tarc]

60. "a blood oath to Karl Marx?"

Are you fucking kidding me?

No one talks like that off the cuff in a live news interview. This is carefully controlled, edited, and fully staged faux outrage.

[SlingBlade]

62. The Rethugs Wouldn't Get It

Isn't there a connection between mental illness and the inability to grasp irony ?

Hilarious, LOL :)

[Demoiselle]

63. "Too angry to scrapbook" is brilliant.

But an insult to crafty persons everywhere.
Surely not all of us who embroider, make our clothes or knit our own chickens are that stupid.
I loved it. But she did give herself away with the transfats.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

64. Absolutely brilliant

:thumbsup:

That woman is a classic and the parody is spot on
