Video: The greatest stump speech ever
posted at 6:12 pm on September 9, 2010 by Allahpundit
A desperately needed reprieve from the news via Political Wire. On any other day, this guy would be too high-strung to qualify as a palate cleanser. But look around you; we’re in the ninth circle of news hell today. Why, under the circumstances, our man Davison represents a bona fide island of sanity.
Dude, three words: 2012. Convention. Keynote.

I love it – not sure I fully appreciate it – but I love it.
Passion is everything in life – and he has it.

Holy crackamole! what the hell is wrong with this man?
American Elephant on September 9, 2010 at 6:17 PM
He looks ready to kill something. Either that, or he’s sky high.
Red Cloud on September 9, 2010 at 6:18 PM
What van down by the river did this guy crawl out of?

Yeah, but the guy runnng for head of the city zoning commission topped this by actually setting himself on fire.
Politics ain’t beanbag.
SteveMG on September 9, 2010 at 6:19 PM
Ha ha ha, I love it.
Inkblots on September 9, 2010 at 6:19 PM
If you are truly that angry and motivated, do you have to go back to your notes every 5 seconds?
Vashta.Nerada on September 9, 2010 at 6:20 PM
Haven’t seen lather like that since the last time I dealt with a Paultard!
catmman on September 9, 2010 at 6:21 PM
“What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.“
Caper29 on September 9, 2010 at 6:21 PM
lol…I love him.
Chudi on September 9, 2010 at 6:22 PM
Money wasted on a communication bachelors.
Nethicus on September 9, 2010 at 6:22 PM
…and a masters degree in COMMUNICATION!!!!
dont taze me bro on September 9, 2010 at 6:22 PM
But hey! Everyone knows two things
1. never start a land war in Asia.
2. never go up against a Sicilian when death is on the line, and
3. your money is safest in the hands of a raving, rabid lunatic.
American Elephant on September 9, 2010 at 6:22 PM
LOL!!!
terryannonline on September 9, 2010 at 6:23 PM
He sure ain’t business as usual.

American Elephant on September 9, 2010 at 6:25 PM
Ha ha, I have thwarted you, bro, for I beat you by a full 3 MINUTES!

Ain’t that the truth….

Got his masters in communication from the School of Loud.
Wonder if he’s married and if so if there’s a wedding video. I’d love to see it … especially the part where he screams “I DO!!” then stumbles around trying to catch his breath.
Rod on September 9, 2010 at 6:28 PM
Hearing a Dean Scream would complete the video.
Weebork on September 9, 2010 at 6:28 PM
So…Sam Kinnison IS alive and well!
JetBoy on September 9, 2010 at 6:28 PM
Yikes. Someone forgot to take his meds.
redfoxbluestate on September 9, 2010 at 6:28 PM
Did he win?
Ted Torgerson on September 9, 2010 at 6:28 PM
Was it me or did he go to the “At Ease” position at 5:10? I think the voices in his head told him to “lock it up.”
I think he could take Ed Shultz in a cage match, though.
Mr. Twisted on September 9, 2010 at 6:30 PM
Oy! I was interrupted before I could hit submit comment (and before I could see yours). LOL
dont taze me bro on September 9, 2010 at 6:32 PM
He needed to go to the bathroom. Badly.
Aardvark on September 9, 2010 at 6:32 PM
I was so uncomfortable watching this, I couldn’t finish.
ButterflyDragon on September 9, 2010 at 6:33 PM
I couldn’t bring myself to watch more than 30 seconds. Did he cry somewhere along the line?
DrMagnolias on September 9, 2010 at 6:36 PM
No. Thank God.

With strategically placed alligator clips you too can be a teensy weensy bit over the top.
Speakup on September 9, 2010 at 6:38 PM
You were made uncomfortable by watching someone embarrass themselves. That means you are suffering from a rare and burdensome internet disability called ‘empathy’. Luckily, this condition is fully treatable, and the researchers over at the 4Chan Foundation are making great strides in ridding this scourge from the Internet.
Inkblots on September 9, 2010 at 6:38 PM
That’s a mean Mick Foley, fella.
This one’s better, tho:

Holy decaffeinated coffee Batman!! I thought I was listening to a halftime ass chewing by Lou Holtz or Bobby Bowden!!
when he started using the “tool” and said he’d use it as a “weapon” I thought the front row was going to clear out….
A+ for effort
B+ for passion
C- for recognizing “who” your audience is…

Holy COW, this guy is the Republican Howard Dean.
YYYEEAAAAAHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

This is an old Monty Python skit … right ?
J_Crater on September 9, 2010 at 6:41 PM
Put him in a cage with Alan Grayson….
ted c on September 9, 2010 at 6:41 PM
I genuinely felt bad for him… until he explained that he somehow got a Masters Degree in COMMUNICATION!!!!!
Then I just laughed. Either he’s lying, or he got a degree he really doesn’t deserve, or he did this on purpose thinking it would help… in any case I no longer felt bad for him.
gekkobear on September 9, 2010 at 6:41 PM
That was freaking awesome……..
grouchymonk on September 9, 2010 at 6:42 PM
I’d like to see more fairy stories about the police.
J_Crater on September 9, 2010 at 6:43 PM
That Einstein quote had such a profound impact on him that he had to read it off of a piece of paper and even then he managed to mess it up.
Doughboy on September 9, 2010 at 6:44 PM
Sorry. Not clickin’ on anything Huff Post.
CyberCipher on September 9, 2010 at 6:45 PM
How many fingers did he hold up when he said “13″?
If Einstein’s words was the greatest quote ever, how come he botched it so badly before he looked at his notes?
itsnotaboutme on September 9, 2010 at 6:45 PM

itsnotaboutme on September 9, 2010 at 6:45 PM
heheheh…I wondered the same thing! I thought it looked like 3 fingers and two thumbs or something…..
ted c on September 9, 2010 at 6:49 PM
I say bring on TOTUS!!!!!11!!!!!!
pain train on September 9, 2010 at 6:49 PM
is his other job a southern baptist preacher?
offroadaz on September 9, 2010 at 6:50 PM
this guy doesn’t need a job in the treasurer’s office….he needs a job with SWAT. Just give the guy a helmet and he has one job—Son, get your a$$ through the door of that crack house…..NOW!….
ted c on September 9, 2010 at 6:51 PM
The psycho rant thing doesn’t come off very sincere when you look down at your notes every sentence.
Scrappy on September 9, 2010 at 6:52 PM
Does he live in a van down by the river? Perhaps he has worked as a motivational speaker in the past?

Easy.
The index finger facing the audience has a value of (10). The three fingers facing the speaker have a value of (1) each.
Sheesh.
pain train on September 9, 2010 at 6:59 PM
He should run for head of the Post Office.
Tzetzes on September 9, 2010 at 6:59 PM
Dude. That is a person who is VERY close to the edge.
peski on September 9, 2010 at 6:59 PM
Wait…he’s running for County Treasurer? He’s educated all over the place but I didn’t hear any ‘Business’ or ‘Accounting’ in there anywhere. He did say something about ‘Grand High PooBah of Public Administration’ or something…
‘And I’d like to share with you my all time favorite quote in the spoken language…as…soon as…I lumber over to the podium to read it….and screw up…. my favorite all time quote….’
Holy cow….
BigWyo on September 9, 2010 at 7:00 PM
Yes, it’s the one where Graham Chapman says (with a German accent) “He’s right–you know that.”
Emperor Norton on September 9, 2010 at 7:00 PM
Damn! Imagine if you stopped this guy on the street to ask directions.
jimboster on September 9, 2010 at 7:01 PM
That’s got to be a plant by the Dems if I’ve ever seen one.
Maybe a response to Allen Green?? (HA HA)
No really, when Dems are calling Tea Partiers “Crazy”, and trying to tie Republicans and Teapartiers together, Doesn’t this guy seem perfect??
Dscw66 on September 9, 2010 at 7:02 PM
Can we get whatever this guy has been drinking and inject a few RINO’s with it?
Well, no, maybe not. Bad idea.
JellyToast on September 9, 2010 at 7:02 PM
I was half-expecting him to finish up by lighting a Koran on fire.
Tzetzes on September 9, 2010 at 7:03 PM
Dude, I would totally vote to nominate this guy just so I could get eight more weeks of campaign speeches.
JohnInCA on September 9, 2010 at 7:03 PM
Did you notice that this was originally on the Huffington Post? (logo on top left) Man, the commenters over there must have had fun with this. This guy is a hoot.
mydh12 on September 9, 2010 at 7:05 PM
So, you miss out on the story, while they get 1,382,917 hits, instead of 1,382,918.
Tzetzes on September 9, 2010 at 7:05 PM
I blame Obama and the Democrats.
They’ve been such miserable failures that every nut job with an (R) behind their name thinks they have a shot at winning an election.

LtE126 on September 9, 2010 at 7:11 PM
Ho. Ly. Crap.
If anything demonstrates the degradation of higher education in America, this guy does. All those degrees (MA in Communication? Really?) and he’s still just a ridiculous kook.
Django on September 9, 2010 at 7:14 PM
At least he didn’t have to use a teleprompter.
petefrt on September 9, 2010 at 7:15 PM
He’s a little worked up over running for treasurer.
WannabeAnglican on September 9, 2010 at 7:16 PM
Dwight Schrute could take lessons from this guy.
ennui on September 9, 2010 at 7:20 PM
For you non-Buckeyes, Stark County is the home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame (Jom Thorpe and others formed it there) and the Massilon Tigers. Go Bucks.
AcidReflux on September 9, 2010 at 7:26 PM
New enthusiasm has been brought to the election of county treasurer. County treasurer is a pretty mundane job but the holder of that position controls the purse strings. Do we really want someone who is this emotionally involved really looking after the funds? Captain Queeg comes to mind.
simkeith on September 9, 2010 at 7:29 PM
Oh, God, this is practically my home town.
cynccook on September 9, 2010 at 7:31 PM
He scared the dog, cat and children. A trifecta!
Mr. Joe on September 9, 2010 at 7:33 PM
Mel Gibson is less worked up than this guy.
SagebrushPuppet on September 9, 2010 at 7:34 PM
Was his speech professor Howard Dean? ARRRRRGGHHHH!!!
tommer74 on September 9, 2010 at 7:35 PM
I like him.
But the dude needs a nice campaign suit.
justltl on September 9, 2010 at 7:39 PM
WHO SAID THAT??
hilarious.
tommer74 on September 9, 2010 at 7:40 PM
I know, is phoney major: Lubchenko learn nothing!
Tzetzes on September 9, 2010 at 7:43 PM
“drastic measures! Who said that? Thank you!”…funny stuff.
jbinnout on September 9, 2010 at 7:46 PM
I can just picture him in the middle of a WWE wrestling ring slapping the ref around….
tommer74 on September 9, 2010 at 7:47 PM
Why so serious?
TruthhoundSP on September 9, 2010 at 7:49 PM
One word: Toastmasters.
PattyJ on September 9, 2010 at 7:50 PM
I don’t know how those people can sit there without laughing. I would be hysterical. :)
Shiny_Tiara on September 9, 2010 at 7:50 PM
I
They were either too terrified or embarrassed to move or speak.
David2.0 on September 9, 2010 at 7:53 PM
He’s coming with both barrels loaded and guns blazing.
I believe him.
David2.0 on September 9, 2010 at 8:01 PM
I think he’s mixing viagra, sugar, and lots of caffeine. Dude, save it for recovery group.
