Video- GOP SOTU Response... No, Seriously

Video- GOP SOTU Response… No, Seriously

Tom over at 538 pointed this out. For some reason I started laughing the second this video started, it is so awkwardly staged. Maybe it’s the “Asian male on one side, Asian female on the other, and what the hell, let’s double up on the African Americans!”

Ooh, look, down in Richmond, seat of the Confederacy: A 10-minute speech by Gov. Bob McDonnell–delivered in about the same time it took him just to enter the chamber (what, no litter available?)–with a lovely rainbow coalition of Virginians of all ages, races and both genders arrayed behind him, applauding.

Those folks must be a microcosm–a veritable random sampling–of the GOP’s state legislative caucuses in the House and Senate in Richmond!

Um, not quite.

"…a lovely rainbow coalition of Virginians of all ages, races and both genders…"
can we at least presume that they were all vetted to make sure they were straight?

For a minute there, I almost forgot Bob McDonnell was white. And speaking from the seat of the former Confederate government.

Wow, He was really parroting and agreeing with President Obama. I thought that was funny. Then he started spouting the party line. Pathetic.

"Staged antics, disinformation, fear and smear. Sounds like 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue?" Oh! I get it. (As I slap my leg) Ha, ha, ha, ha. That's it Anon? Weak. As Ochocinco of the Cincinnati Bengals says, "Please child."

Our house instantly said the same…laughing, that they must have brought in a producer to get that "cross section of America!" in the background…

And I think (as Lion mentioned) that SNL is going to have a hay-day with that!

I watched it live. It is quite hilarious and somewhat disturbing at the same time for anybody that might buy this staged antic. But that is all they got. Staged antics, disinformation, and fear and smear.

Oh Lion- it's worth it just for the first minute. Really bizarely
awkward.

I'm not even going to try to watch that clip. It would be like watching Saturday Night Live, which I don't like that much.
