Shocker: LIMBOsevic called the Dems in the '88 primary "GIANTS"!1
Edited on Thu Mar-10-11 12:02 AM by UTUSN
Yesterday or the day before, he was yammering about polls saying the President will be hard for any Rethugs mentioned as potential nominees to beat. He decided to rally his hordes with a history-according-to-him lesson, taking as his jumping off point the '92 campaign, but taking it from the Dem side of things. He started with Poppy's having been at 90% approval with Desert Storm and therefore looking invincible. And he said that the Dem bosses had decided that they shouldn't waste any of the big Dem stars on a thankless run, so the way was open for an unknown like CLINTON, who kept at it because "nobody told HIM" that it was a losing proposition, and therefore not Whitewater or Gennifer FLOWERS could stop him, besides that the Dem bosses had not counted on PEROT or factored in that it didn't seem like Poppy wanted it that much, wasn't hungry enough.

What he left out, as I clearly remember from his early years in national syndication, was his own radical sniping at his own Poppy, whom he never supported, who was too Country Club for him, and who still is although he won't say it anymore.

So then he went back to the '88 Democratic primary, departing from the original point of an invincible-seeming incumbent, just rambling on in some kind of nostalgic self-congratulation of his grasp of history he witnessed, a lecture for any of his hordes who might not be Old Teabaggers and weren't around. He said that the Dems in the primaries were called "the Seven Dwarves" because they were supposedly what--young and relatively unknown nationally. And he listed each one with a vignette:

Michael Dukakis, governor of Massachusetts
Jesse Jackson, reverend and civil rights leader from South Carolina
Al Gore, U.S. senator from Tennessee
Dick Gephardt, U.S. representative from Missouri
Paul Simon, U.S. senator from Illinois
Gary Hart, former U.S. senator from Colorado
Bruce Babbitt, former governor of Arizona
Joe Biden, U.S. senator from Delaware


He did the same things he did back then, doing the Porky Pig stutter when saying BABBITT, mimicking JACKSON's oratorical diction, and calling the other one HARTPENCE. Plus, I count eight on the list.


But on to the SHOCKER: After he went through the list, he couldn't help admitting the QUALITY of all of this group:: Referring to the current Rethug nobodies and whackos by comparison, he ACTUALLY SAID, (something like)

*********** "HELL, THOSE DEMS LOOK LIKE *GIANTS* TODAY!1" *************


I was stunned by his admission, not stunned by what I have always said, that just about ANY Dem is better than ANY Rethug in intelligence, integrity, service and just about any other way, and I don't care about Monica or Donna RICE.
