Romney’s prank call…

lol! Romney gets a prank call from ‘Arnold Schwarzenegger’…or at least someone with a soundboard. It’s pretty good:

Even better, though, is this great prank call from ‘Mr. Rogers’. “Have you by any chance lo…

OK, I now feel much less bad this morning, but that doesn’t mean I’m jumping on the Romney bandwagon just yet.

John McCain responds to the Romney sense of humor – “while Governor Romney’s son is playing phone jokes on his father, my son is serving in Iraq for all of us here at home. I’m John McCain, and I approved this message.”
McCain for President! (of Mexico)

They should have included phrases such as:

“You lack discipline.”

“THERE IS NO BATHROOM!”

And who can forget..

“You son of a b!tch!!!”

The prank was obviously as real as Romney's passion for hunting and his marches with MLK. And he still never even cracked a smile. To call him thick and humorless is an insult to the thick and the humorless. Worse yet, its an ancient stolen prank - and the original versions are actually funnier: They should have gone with Duke Nukem: Now that's funny. The other candidates' would all have handled it better (and funnier). Huck would have actually gotten the joke. Fred would have made a better joke in return. And McCain would have threatened the guy with bodily harm. I can't believe I'm going to vote for this empty suit. Even his jokes are lame.

I’m pretty sure his secretary or someone already pre-dialed the number and he just did it for dramatic effect.

Nope. I called the number. (I have Adobe Audition, which lets you create and compare phone-tones).

The guy who answered was not amused that I’d gotten the number.

Unfortunately the only way to prove it is to put the # here, which I won’t do. My reason for calling them was to make them aware that the number was out there on the internet!

Too bad they didn’t get Edwards with that. Soon as the “who’s your daddy” part came up, I’d love to see him go into his millworker schtick!

That was funny.

If that had been McCain, he probably would have ripped his son’s lungs out.

Keep this stuff up boys and you will not only be in the White house for 8 years

- if you stick to conservatives principles -

…but you will also be liked by many and as such you will knock the conservative cause out of the ballpark and be able to take your good time in walking to homeplate, i.e., a legacy worth fighting for.

In this sound bite and despotic-role-model culture, people are yearning for humanity, something they can reach out and touch to confirm that, yes indeed, it is real.

KEEP. IT. REAL.

That’s really funny. :-) Exit question: agreeing with “bipartisanship” and “progress” — will that cost him some voters?

None of this Nancy Pelosi “grilled mahi mahi with fugu sauce” crap.

Whatever, dude. That sounds fantastic! I mean… MAN WANT WOMAN MAKE STEAK NOW.
