Let’s Do The Time Warp Again!

/27 Comments/in , /by

Put a fork in ’em. John Sidney McCain III and the Republican Grand Old Party have nothing left in the tank except for tired platitudes, creaky rhetoric, moldy and discredited policies, racism and anger.

Just four years ago, the right wing GOP was full of hubris and was bellowing of their dominion over American politics, their coming permanent majority, and discussing on what nominal terms they should allow the Democratic party to even exist at all in the future. Now they are nothing but a freak show of carnival barkers, sideshow clowns and carny hangers on like "Joe the Plumber".

McCain, and the GOP as whole, is in a time warp. The economic system is frayed well beyond the edges, the base of the real economy – jobs – is contracting at an alarming rate, and people are losing their homes left and right. They are still pitching tax breaks for the rich and deregulation. The world has bitterly turned on the US as a result of overzealous militancy in power projection, read incessant war, and the Republicans and McCain push for more of it. History is being made by a man of at least partial color who transcends color in an almost color neutral fashion, and they are relentlessly hawking the election in terms of racial strife and distrust, arguing that their fellow Americans are not American at all. This act was tired and divisive when the ultimate shill, Ronald Reagan, pitched it in 1980; now it is just pathetic.

Who are these monsters dancing the Time Warp? Let’s have some Halloween fun and have a discussion about who among the cast of McCainiac and GOP ghouls would be what character in our own little production of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

So far, I have Karl Rove as the evil Dr. Frank N. Furter and John Sidney McCain III as Rocky Horror, the monster (McCain does lurch around like a stiff after all). I want really bad to have Sarah palin be janet, but it just doesn’t work I don’t think. Maybe Palin is Magenta!

I have an inkling that all my casting agent friends and family here at the Lake can do a far better job. Have some fun! We will also be adding some cool photos from Miss LaLisa Derrick live from the freak show down in West Hollywood a little later. One and all should post any good and scary links, videos, etc. in comments. Party On! Excellent!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

    Nonononono! Rove is obviously Riff Raff, and Palin isn’t smart enough to be Magenta, she has to be Columbia. JSMIII is Eddie — I think Dubya actually is Rocky, and Cheney is cross-dressing as Magenta. LOL!

    still no trash talking thread ???

    damn, I was gonna offer the “big blue” fans some good advice

    if they wanna see what a quality football program looks like, Appalachian State is playing Wofford on ESPN2 tonight (I know the wolverines didn’t see much but the backside of Ap State when they visited the big house last year)

    tonight is a good chance for Michiganders to pick up some pointers (the Michigeese can look for pointers too, no sexism here)

    that’s all I got …

    I coulda wrote more, but that bowl of candy in the other room has my number …

    BOOMER SOONERS

    I woulda waited for the trash talkin thread, but I needed to get that out there sooner

    it’s a genetic thing …

    I’ll be here till that waiter’s job comes open on tuesday, tip the veal

    • CTMET says:

      Ha! You want to see football. Tuesday Night November 4th Buffalo vs. Miami(OH). Yeah there is that other thing going on that night, but you can follow that on-line while you watch the game.

  5. freepatriot says:

      Oh, I’ve already been accosted by three little dragons (two green with polka dots, one purple), assorted witches, fairies, a few fierce pirates, and even a Little Engine That Could.

      Darling little grubbers.

  7. Jkat says:

    this just coming in .. a group supporting mc cain says 6 million to be spent on reverend wright ads in next four days ..

  8. Jkat says:

    Dick Morris just appeared on Bill O’Reilly’s show. He said a group called the GOP Trust will run $6 million in Rev. Wright ads over the next 4 days.

  9. Pectopah says:

    I seem to recall the audience always shouts “slut” when Janet speaks, so hmmm, who fits that description best?

    And the mayor of spin city always got called “ass-hole”. Plenty of those.

    Then there is the criminologist, who is “boring”: I guess that would be some pundit no one pays attention too — Broder, Brooks?

    All together now:

    It’s just a sneer to the left
    And a lurch to the right
    With your hands on your hips,
    You bring your knees in tight
    But it’s the pelvic thrust that really drives you insa-a-a-a-ane,
    Let’s do the Time Warp again!

  13. JimWhite says:

    Frank has to be Rudy Ghouliani.

    Since Janet is called a slut, how about Kathleen Parker or Peggy Noonan?

    Dr. Everett Scott is Al Gore.

    Brad is Barry Bostwick Obama.

    Riff Raff is McCain.

    Magenta is Palin.

    Columbia is Joe Lieberman.

    Rocky is Ronald Reagan (brought back to life, you see).

    Eddie is W.

    CriminalCriminologist is Karl Rove.

    • readerOfTeaLeaves says:

      I’m thinking Scheunemann is Riff Raff.
      And Bill Kristol is Eddie.

      My heavens; I saw that movie outside the US, and all people kept saying afterward was, “Crazy Americans! They’re decadent! They’re crazy!!”

      God only knows what those people are saying after 8 years of Junya.
      Bmaz, excellent YouTube.

      • freepatriot says:

        you should see the movie IN America

        it’s not really about the movie

        A TOAST

        (you did remember to bring toast, right ???)

        here’s a handy RHPC tip: if you’re gonna make toast with a lighter, you’re gonna need more than one lighter

        and an update on the stumpy grifters-candy redistributors:

        spiderman is a LOT shorter in person …

    Well, the time warp idea is right. The Republicans are acting like they’ve just been plunked into our midst from some time before 1960 by the Tardis. Their leaders all like John Wayne, or maybe the Lone Ranger, and the only minorities in the script are loyal sidekicks like Tonto.

    The only trouble is that Zorro has raided the set from an adjacent studio …

    Oops. Left a partial comment and then got side tracked to other things. So maybe its my turn to get caught in a time warp…
