Texas State Sen. Kirk Watson (D-unce) hit national TV in a big way last night, failing to name a single accomplishment by Sen. Barack Obama. When Chris Matthews asked him point blank to name one single thing Obama has done, all Watson could say was “I’m not going to be able to do that tonight.” Nevertheless, Obama is his choice for the presidency. Why? Crowds, hope and change, apparently. I don’t know if this was Watson’s first national TV appearance. I’d bet it was his last.
Let’s have some fun with this guy. Here are a couple of Photoshops done by my friend Dwayne in Texas.
Let’s see what you can come up with. Photoshop him and send me the links at bryan - at - hotair - dot - com.
Update: Slublog rejects the Kool-Aid.
Update: Commenter Kmarion comes with the Kirk Watson demotivational poster.

I just spread vaseline on my computer screen when a picture of Obama is displayed. I hope.

Can’t do Photoshop, but this would fit perfectly into a Twix commercial:
“Need A Moment? Chew Things Over With TWIX”

That ‘Want to Get Away?’ caption with that screen capture nearly made me cry I laughed so hard.
Wineaholic on February 20, 2008 at 12:44 PM
Well, he can always “hope” no one watched the interview.
null on February 20, 2008 at 12:47 PM

How long before you are branded a racist for daring to ask about Obama’s qualifications to be President.
RobCon on February 20, 2008 at 12:48 PM
This is MSNBC, so that’s a real possibility.
amerpundit on February 20, 2008 at 12:50 PM
Oh my God! This is fantastic!
cjs1943 on February 20, 2008 at 12:53 PM
If it wasn’t true it would be funny. We’re not talking about a seat in Congress where you make speeches and vote (and he doesn’t even have the courage to vote yea or nay most of the time). We’re talking about the most powerful person on earth. I’m watching an absolute nightmare unfolding right before my eyes. This unqualified joke is going to be POTUS!
libhater on February 20, 2008 at 12:55 PM
I aid this another thread yesterday, but this situation proves it even more:
The definition of a political gaffe is when a politician accidently says the truth.

Priceless.

I am proud, proud, I say, that in this wonderful country even an empty-suit has a shot at becoming President.
Dusty on February 20, 2008 at 1:04 PM
He looks like he just took a bite out of a raw goat testicle and doesn’t know what to do next.

This man was once the mayor of Austin. Which tells you a lot about a blue city in a red state.
8straight on February 20, 2008 at 1:05 PM
I don’t have Photoshop BUT….
Remember the Snickers commercial?
“Not going anywhere for a while? Grab a Snickers Bar”.
HarryStar on February 20, 2008 at 1:07 PM
Mama mia, that’s a spicy Michelle Obama
Heart burn got you down?
Kini on February 20, 2008 at 1:12 PM
I think the correct response would be:
“Name one thing he HASN’T done!”
And then cry from the ecstasy of the Obama phenomenon.
(hmmmm Obama + phenomenon = ‘oboma-non?’)
tlynch001 on February 20, 2008 at 1:14 PM
I’m seeing a Superbowl E-Trade commercial, with Obama in a baby’s highchair saying “I hired a clown. I totally underestimated the creepiness, though.”
jl on February 20, 2008 at 1:14 PM
Two things leap out at me: One, cant the Obamans get their people SOME talking points??? Somewhere down the line Obama must have saved a kitten from a house fire or made some real cool origami birds, right?? Something?!?!?!
This meme is going to start talking off…has in fact already taken off, and its going to hurt the Messiah before too long. Its one thing if a Plain Jane or Joe Focus Group Voter in Nowheresville cant name anything the guy has ever accomplished, but altogether a different animal when a state Senator is on national TV and cant name one thing.
Two, none of this may matter at all. I have never seen so many people drink the Kool-aid like this before, and its within the plane of possibility that Obama could be swept into the WH on personal popularity alone, irrespective of the actual McGovernite positions he holds.
The GOP may need to rely on Michelle Obama to be the loose lip that sinks the ship. And my guess is that she’ll be a non-stop source of angry pampered lefty gold from now until November.
To quote Dieter on Sprockets: Delicious.
Mike D. on February 20, 2008 at 1:28 PM
Bono for president? Or any other “socially conscious” celebrity for that matter? Seriously, this guy sounded like an idiot when he kept going on about crowds. Well gorsh Senator Watson, why doesn’t we nominate Hanner Montanner then?
RightWinged on February 20, 2008 at 1:33 PM
Can’t e-mail my entry bryan…..mail carrier says you don’t exsist. Checked the spelling three times…dunno…blocked maybe?

“Recipient address rejected”
Anyways,
Just a quick idea for now.

Reminds me of the Sesame Street “muh-nuh-muh-nuh” (sp?) skit.
mikeyboss on February 20, 2008 at 1:45 PM
There has to be a Mentos commercial in there.
Veeshir on February 20, 2008 at 1:45 PM
I get the same e-mail response as Kmarion..
Here is mine…

Maybe someone else can post and Bryan can right click and save.
Dusty on February 20, 2008 at 1:47 PM
You know what is so outrageous about this? It’s been, what, over a week since Sean Hannity brought this up by having Luntz ask the members of that focus group to name an Obama accomplishment AND IT’S STILL HAPPENING! Obama’s supporters who continue to be caught off guard when asked to name an accomplishment at this point look like Elmer Fudd being tricked once again just because the wabbit has put on a dress.
For Pete’s sakes, if any of you Obama fans read this, IT’S NOT ROCKET SCINECE! Go to his website. It’s “barackobama.com,” think you can remember that? Click on “learn” then on “meet the candidate.” Scroll down a bit and under “Political career” there are two paragraphs on things he is declared to have done while in the Illinois Senate and the national one. These paragraphs are rather summary in their coverage of his tasks completed, and some might take issue that these are actually things Obama himself primarily did, but if you could paraphrase one or two sentences from them, most people would think you sounded rather astute about your man’s accomplishments.
You’re welcome, Obama supporters. We conservatives have, on numerous occasions, noted the left wing tendency to not lift a finger to do any research, because who needs research when your whole philosophy is based on feelings. We can help!

Hastily done, but I’m at work!
Going with the Twix theme.

(Script for a video.)
Zoom in on a rugged wooden table. No background is necessary. Just the table.
Narrator with pirate Long John Silver gravely voice begins.
“I’ve got the hunger for a hearty sandwich.”
Plate slams down on table with a large sandwich in a roll and with meat, veggies
and sauce falling out of it.“Not that kind of a sandwich. I mean a REAL man’s
sandwich. I need a Barack Sandwich.”
Big sandwich and plate is replaced by a clean empty plate
“What’s a Barack Sandwich you say? A Barack sandwich has real ingredients like, white
bread,”
Two slices of white bread placed onto plate. With the manliest and roughest
possible voice..
“and marshmalo fluffffff.”
Marshmalo fluff is spread across white bread.
“And just what’s in that marshmalo fluff? More than just words I assure you.”
Begin pressing colorful children’s magnetic letters into the fluff spelling out
the words: Hope, Action and Change
“There’s the AUDACITY to HOPE! A hope in nothing in specific, but a REAL general HOPE. And ACTION! Any kind of action will do. You could even walk in place or take steps backwards. And CHANGE! What kind of change? Any change that would depart us from the girlie-man…”real disdain heard in voiceGeorge W. Bush.”
Sandwich is closed and picked up with camera following it revealing a pirate with eye-patch, unshaven skin and pirate head covering.
“Now that’s a real man’s sandwich.”
Pirate begins to quickly engorge himself with sandwich getting fluff all over his face. After a few gobbling sounds. The pirate swallows and says.
“Ahhhh! I need someth’n to wash it down. Put away that pint and get me a Perrie.”

Bryan, your email didn’t work so I posted it here.
bucktowndusty on February 20, 2008 at 1:59 PM
Yeah, that one is perfect. But Chrissy will use his “woman scorned” attitude on the GOP, too, and we won’t like it one bit. I would have been looking for any way to run if I were Watson; poor thing.
Jaibones on February 20, 2008 at 2:05 PM
I don’t have Photoshop, but I’d love to see that guy’s head put on the infamous Tancredo-Lancelot picture with a caption like “comes a moron” (instead of “comes a man”.

In the words of Foghorn Leghorn:
That boy looks as dull as a pound of wet leather.
Sounds like an accurate description of a Leftist voter, too.
OhEssYouCowboys on February 20, 2008 at 2:44 PM
To be helpful, here’s another of Obama’s legislative “accomplishments” that Obama supporters can use whenever the question about his accomplishments is asked:
Obama is currently sponsoring a Senate bill to give nearly a trillion dollars of U.S. taxpayers’ money to the United Nations — one of the most corrupt and inefficient organizations known to mankind — to combat “global poverty.”
Our candidate Obama: “changing” our once rich and powerful nation into a squalid, impoverished, third-world backwater, one Senate bill at a time.
AZCoyote on February 20, 2008 at 2:46 PM
Good, God! Thanks for all the laughs. Some of the funniest things I have read today. This guy is definitly not getting a call from Quality Inn to be in their commericals.
McCain needs to use this piece in his ads.

I liked these so much that I thought I’d share them with the knucklehead. I copied/pasted each, no links used. I don’t want anyone hunted down as if they printed cartoons.
Brass Pair on February 20, 2008 at 3:34 PM
Mine required little effort. Here is a web template for those “motivational posters” if anyone is interested.
No time to play with Photoshop at work. I’ll work on something better when I get home.
Kmarion on February 20, 2008 at 3:48 PM
SluBlog’s would make a perfect T-shirt, but it would be far more appropriate for the face on the jug to that of the candidate himself, rather than one of his supporters.
Hmmm…Edwards was Silky, we never really galvanized around a single nickname for Hillary…I submit Kool-Aid Man for Obama!
Never seen a candidate produce so many Kool-Aid drinkers in my life!
SuperCool on February 20, 2008 at 4:40 PM
I made a post containing mine over at NeoconNews.com, but I just have to say that I hope a lot of these from the comments get put up. They’re priceless.

As a Southwest employee, my fav is “Wanna get away?”
But it’d be pretty damn funny if he said “Great googalie moogalie” (Snicker’s) when he couldn’t answer the question.
