Rick Perry Campaign Releases Terrifying Romneycare Ad
Texas Gov. Rick Perry, whose primary odds have been steadily declining since his bizarre debate performance late last month, has released a humdinger of an ad conflating Mitt Romney with President Obama:
In other crapping-on-Romney-news, the DNC has rolled out a new web questionnaire called "Which Mitt?" Possible answers for each question include two blatantly antithetical quotes and "All of the above." Hint: The answer for every single question is the same.

Mitt Romney’s perennial problem, and Penn Jillete’s love letter
What is “rctlfy”?
RCTL: rather crazy than libertarian
At the time, rctl was used on wordpress, thus FY
If you think you’re crazy, why aren’t you getting help?
Hmm, there are things worse than crazy = libertarian. Perhaps, you need help?
Penn Jillette called your writing “bugnutty shit”. I think that’s completely accurate. Unreadable is another way of describing it.
Penn the D U L L Razor didn’t even read past the headline; he’s a typical full of shit libertarian male
Who could possibly read that drivel on your website? Do yourself a favor, lose the thesaurus. And get evaluated – I am sure there’s a medication that can help you.

Oooh. Do I detect a female chauvinist dog, bow wow?
Wow – LOGIC PWNDED! 🙁
It’s shorthand for “rectal”.
I really like the cinematic soundtracks that are now ubiquitous in political ads. Attack ads used to be pretty ho-hum, now they scream at you “PAY ATTENTION, THIS IS EPIC”. I expect the action/thriller political ads to just keep getting more ballsy and over-the-top silly in the next year. I quiver in anticipation.
Didn’t they use nuclear explosions in at least one ad during the 60s? Really, this generation knows nothing of epic since the Cold War ended.
As a member of “this generation” I know nothing of the Soviet atomic terror. Terror in this age involves explosive underwear and socialized medicine. These ads tickle me because while the music screams menace the subject certainly is no atomic bomb.
If they forget to use The Wilhelm Scream, It can’t be epic

These days, you could probably send money to some guy in Russia who has control of his own ICBM. Have him target you for a week (probably only cost you a hundred bucks or so) to duplicate that Cold War experience.
Does anyone else smell vinegar and rectal cream in this thread?
All I smell is desperation and impotence. So, yes.
Fuck. I guess I’m just going to have to throw a brick through my TV. I am so not looking forward to all of the bullshit campaign ads.
Jesus Christ, the Tea Party has these wackos, and all you libertoid assholes have is that boring old racist fuck Ron Paul. Maybe you should just stick to doing educational work and not get too excited about electoral politics. Your time just hasn’t come.
Arf! Arf! Arf!
Maybe you should just stick to licking your own balls, Max.
Well, that convinced me; I’m not voting for him! (Nevermind that I’m not registered to vote anyhow)… On a politics-as-a-competition level though, that bit of propaganda is nigh approaching the masterful.
Apropos of nothing (other than the phrase, “cinematic soundtracks”)- I not-too-long-ago stumbled upon Highlander on one of movie low rent movie channels.
I had completely “forgotten” by which I mean successfully banished from my consciousness the wall-to-wall suck which is the soundtrack to that movie.
Holy shit, my ears were bleeding by the time the final credits rolled around.
How could that soundtrack possibly distract you from the suck that is the movie?
I just read something so crazy that my brain can’t process it. Highlander is a rad movie with a totally bogus soundtrack.
I’m not here to defend the self-indulgences of Queen in the twilight of their success, but couldn’t they have cast one person in a starring/co-starring role who could do an accent?
Are you saying Sean Connery and Christopher Lambert have the same accents in every movie they do? Because that’s just crazy talk.
You’d think standing next to Connery all the time, Chris coulda picked up something.
Crazy thing is, Connery has the worst Scottish accent of any Scottish person I’ve ever heard.
Connery has the worst Scottish accent of any Scottish person I’ve ever heard.
That’s because he’s Welsh.
Highlander is a bad movie that happens to hit every note you need to make a teenage boy go apeshit for it. See also: Star Wars and Red Dawn. Russel Mulcahy is a terrible director who managed to get it somewhat right, just like Lucas.
Yeah, immortality, swords, electricity, ancient warriors, electric guitars, overdubbed vocals, completely inappropriate accents…definitely one of the most glorious fantasy films ever made.
This sounds remarkably like Krull. Sans the glory.
Krull does involve armored warriors, lasers, flying horses with fiery hooves, spaceship castles, a murderous discus and James Horner. So yeah, pretty much.
Au contraire. It’s a kind of magic.
I see what you did there!
80’s Michelle Pfeiffer… I’d almost leave Ornella Muti for her… almost.
Hell…I sugarfreed the link.

Typing- still hard.
Perry needs to get that guy who does voiceovers for movie trailers, and start his next ad with “In a world . . . ” Maybe finish it up with “This time, its personal”.
So…Will Arnett?
Unfortunately, that voice is now silent.
I was really fucking late on that one. And just one post lower too.
Don LaFontaine died a few years ago.
Is this the sequel to Perry’s last movie? Because I don’t know how he could possibly top blowing up a meteor at the last second and saving the Earth.
It’s not Rick’s spit take that’s taking him down, it’s his dangerous theory that the children of illegal immigrants are human beings. If he bragged about executing these kids, instead of about giving them scholarships, he’d still be riding high.
Wow, that must be the easiest question in the world, if any answer is correct.
