Who is that crazy fucker on Rachel's show right now?

[lonestarnot]

He didn't win did he. Please tell me he didn't. OMG

[eleny]

1. He attended the Bill Murray school of acting

[awoke_in_2003]

10. Hey, let's not slam Bill Murray...

:)

[eleny]

11. It finally hit me tonight that Davison sounded just like Murray in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

[awoke_in_2003]

12. and one thing about Bill Murray...

he is not Dan Akroyd, who has turned out to be about as funny as prostrate cancer.

[cherokeeprogressive]

13. I think you mean Where the Buffalo Roam. n/t

[eleny]

19. I always mix up those two since they both cover the infamous trip to Vegas

Thanks!

[cherokeeprogressive]

20. It's okay, I do it too ;)

I like Where the Buffalo Roam better though, but I DO think Johnny Depp is the PERFECT actor to play the part in Fear an Loathing.

One of my favorite books, by the way.

[eleny]

23. I read most of that book on the subway coming home from work in NYC

It was a very long time ago. But at one point it was just too much. The crowded train and the story sort of collided. I almost tossed the book out the window. Thompson's a treasure.

Johnny Depp was perfect. He's just about perfect in everything.

25. I can't see a bat without thinking about ether. LOL n/t

[PBS Poll-435]

24. I am angry with you about this

Bill Murray finally got to share his gift in a mature role.

Lost in Translation is probably the most important film of the past 20 years.


At least in my opinion...

[eleny]

26. I like Murray a lot

Take a listen at the video of Phil Davison during the speech he gave that's the subject of this thread. Close your eyes and listen and tell me that he doesn't sound exactly like Murray. And the delivery would have been exactly how Murray would have delivered it.

Davison's speech has nagged at me ever since I first watched it. But today I finally realized that it would have been Bill at his best. I've been a fan of Murray's since he was on SNL. And I think he would get a kick out of my observation. You know he'd get a chuckle, at least.

2. That's Phil Davison, and no, he did not win the nomination.

However, his craziness won a place in the heart of the Internets.

[lonestarnot]

6. Holy crap. Thank God! And thank you for allowing me to sleep tonight.

[Ruby the Liberal]

3. Some guy running for Treasurer of some county in Iowa.

I remember when this was current. Insane stuff.

[66 dmhlt]

15. Ohio ... but all those 4-letter states get confusing

Phil Davison ran in Stark County OHIO

And just so you don't have to Google it: Ohio, Iowa & Utah.

(There ... now that nit has been picked)

[Howler]

4. Oh Crap.

He's from Ohio too I think.
Oh Woot. not from Ohio!

[hlthe2b]

5. They really ought to give an update on him... (what he's doing now)

(I know I shouldn't laugh.... as unhinged folks sometimes do really horrendous things to themselves and others....)

[Hello_Kitty]

7. You mean Keith

For a second I thought you were talking about Rachel's awesome producer who is filling in for him right now.

[lonestarnot]

8. No, asked and answered above. Thanks. He just blew, he didn't win anything not even a prize.

:P

[Ruby the Liberal]

9. He is good! I caught him last night and was impressed as to his passion.

[NorthCarolina]

21. "for him"? nt

[Hello_Kitty]

22. Doh!

Honest mistake, I promise! :spank:

[pinboy3niner]

14. I didn't have it on, but I knew exactly who you meant, LOL!

His speech is turning up in all the year-end retrospectives. I hope he's back on his meds now. :)

:hi:

[lonestarnot]

16. Happy New Year pinboy3niner!

:hug: :hi:

[pinboy3niner]

17. Happy New Year, lonestarnot!

Best wishes to you and to all of us for a better year ahead! :toast:

[lonestarnot]

18. I hope so, but I'm not so optimistic.

:toast: anyway.
