Mitt Romney on the Last Election: We Lost a Game of Hot Potato
From John King's State of the Union on CNN, Mittens wonderful analysis of why the GOP lost the last election. The economy fell apart while they were holding the hot potato. Heaven forbid the GOP's policies might have been a failure and the electorate punished them for it. It was just bad timing.
KING: And as you try to learn about how to have a better platform and better communications in the next election, give me each of your assessment of the last one. Barack Obama won big in the suburbs. It used to be Republican territory. Won big in the suburbs. Took two-thirds of the Latino vote. Was that because voters were mad at George W. Bush and maybe didn't see enough in John McCain or was it because they turned the page and looked at the competing proposals and said, I want this guy and not those guys?
ROMNEY: I frankly believe that much of what happened in the last election revolved around the fact that the economy fell apart at the time we were, if you will, holding the hot potato. Republicans and Democrats have been playing this game, passing the hot the potato, spending money like there was no tomorrow.
And the economy came crashing down while our party was holding the hot potato. And people said, hey, it's time for something else but I think if they took a good, hard look at what the -- something else is planning on doing with regards to the massive borrowing, they are going to say, that is probably not the right thing for America's future.
I'm concerned that what the president is doing to our overall economy is what the government did to housing, which is spend too much and borrow too much, create a bubble, and that bubble ultimately collapses.
KING: Was it bad timing or was it bad choices?
CANTOR: Listen, I don't think there is any single reason why you can explain the election in November. First of all, could we have done better in Washington? Absolutely. I mean, could we have been more centered on our thoughts of fiscal sanity in Washington? Absolutely.
Did the American public tire of the Iraq War? You had better believe it. Even though we had our men area women were fighting every day for our freedom, the public's patience was wearing thin because no one likes to be at war.
And as the governor says, we had a collapse in our financial markets 30 days before the election. So there was a lot of fear, and a lot of desire to say, hey, we want to put these bad times behind us.
But, ultimately, the future is about trying to be relevant in terms of what we're talking about, the policy prescriptions that we are going to propose to make sure that they make a difference.
And it's not that the Republicans need to change, to become like Democrats. We know the principles upon which our party is founded. They are the principles of free markets, of the rights of the individuals, of the faith in individuals, the faith in God, the ability for people to stand up on their own and reach for that opportunity.
republicans get to be so delusional?
Is it in the genes?
has to be delusional to be a Republican. I think the delusion comes first and then the party choice comes second.
That's who I voted for!
But he's likely never goin to be a viable contender for the presidency unfortunately...and that's a shame IMHO...if that UFO BS had never come up, he may have had a fightin chance...
Oh...and Romney's a f*ckin moron!
of who is the biggest idiot!
They were founded on the principal of faith in God? Really? I had no idea. I guess the history books are wrong then... they say "Early Republican ideology was reflected in the 1852 slogan "Free labor, Free land, Free men." Nothing there about God. Nothing there about rights.
Caught again you revisionist pukes.
Another big thing about this "interview" is that John King is the Sean Hannity of CNN. At least most of the time CNN tries to hide the bias of their anchors (Lou Dobbs not withstanding) this John King freak is the second coming of Rush Limbaugh.
Bring your eternally boring phoniness and that Reagan from beyond the grave bullshit back to the Presidential campaign against Obama. The American voters saw/see right through your elitist Eddie Haskell b.s.
The hot potato was passed from Reagan/Bush's hands to Bill Clinton's hands. Bill Clinton cooled down the potato and we had recored prosperity and peace. When the cool potato got passed to George Bush and the Repubican congress the potato got hot again. Now the Republicans have passed the a hot potato to Obama to cool it back down again.
I'm starting to understand how this game is played.
The last election was about the economy yes, but it was about so much more. It was about wars and lies to mention at least two other things. Okay and then there was McCain and Palin, that didn't help the republicans either.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
It's one of the many things an administration is expected to deal with. Instead, the Bush Administration neglected domestic issues at the expense of chasing their little war in Iraq, which also didn't turn out as they expected.
But the detachment that Cantor and Romney show is incredible.
That's not conservative, or faith ... it's sociopathy.
its sociopathy enabled by wingnut cheerleaders in the MSM like John King of CNN.
This is how 'mob-mentality' gets it's legs. Mitty schreaks and the SOCIOPATHIC burn black-churches.
Condi just the other day compared bin Ladin to Nazi Germany. Didn't she or Bush or Rumsfeld get the memo from Clinton that al-Qaeda encompassed all of about 200 rightwing Muslim radicals holed up in caves, shaking?
Yes, you better believe they did.
... is largely to justify the response of military action in a manner similar to how we engaged Nazi Germany.
Unfortunately, this is not the war we are fighting; we are not fighting a nation-state with an industrialized military. We are fighting insurgents/guerillas that are mobile, able to disperse and regroup much more readily than our deployment procedures allow.
Consequently, the enemy holds the initiative and the ascendancy. We're the ones fighting a losing battle, because our leaders had nothing in the drawer other than 'stay the course' and jingoistic slogans.
Bush is engaging in projection. Considering the Bush family's history with Nazi Germany (look up Prescott Bush), the only thing he could be doing is trying to blame other people for the actual crimes committed by his family.
How does the a man with a family history of treason against america get to be president?
That's what his family did, you know, they committed treason, beyond all shadow of a doubt. You should look up Prescott Walker Bush's letter to the SS recommending the extermination of 70% of the world's population.
Let's also not forget Iran Contra.
Let's also not forget that the Bush family were partners with Bin Laden.
In fact, weren't they visiting Dubya Bush during the time of the Bombing?
Those people are filth. They need to be in prison.
Um, ask Russia if the Nazi's were dangerous, they almost took Moscow, and if hitler hadn't been such a tool like Rumsfeld, he would have won. Then after he invades Britain he just has to hold on a few years until he has nukes to put in the missiles that will soon reach the USA. Without Britain, the largest aircraft carrier in the world and the staging point for our invasion of Europe Hitler wins WWII. I think that the right loved to compare Saddam to Hitler and everyone else that's a bad guy. But really, Hitler had some of the best material and equipment in WWII and the Prussian military establishment, some of the best military minds in the world. Germany very nearly became the dominant power of the 20th century. Somehow I doubt 200 guys in caves could invade Russia and kill 20 million Russians on their way to Moscow. Without Russia we'd all be speaking German, since we never would have been able to invade if Hitler doesn't lose the Eastern front.
Just exactly how stupid are you! Fools like you make the re publicans look like the idiots you are. Germany lost the war, at least as far as the so-called "liberal media" informs the world. Perhaps I mis-understand your point but this comment at the very least deserves some comment even if only to insust the writer.
The love you take is equal to the love you make. John Lennon Paul Mc Cartney
Germany lost so that makes them not as dangerous as Al Quida is? So you mean that Al Quida has won? Since they are more dangerous to the US than Nazi Germany ever was?
Rice is wrong, the greatest threats to our freedoms were Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, and a Nuclear Russia, not Osama and certainly not the loss of the twin towers.
Do you know what terrorism is? It's a tactic used by the weak and powerless to influence the strong and powerful. The minute we saw Al Quida as a deadly threat to our way of life was the minute AQ won. How where they supposed to change us and win? We have other buildings you know, they can be built, thousands die every year from preventable causes every year, 3000 is tragic for those involved, but on the scale of the position of the US in the world and it's strength at home, in its prosperity and its constitution, then three thousand seems like a fair price for the continuation of our great nation unchanged. Hell haven't we spent our own blood in Iraq? For what? How does Iraq ,invaded and destroyed, serve our purpose in the world? We were winning until warrantless wiretapping, winning before invading Iraq, winning before we started being the very things we professed to hate. Torturers, people who hate based on skin color and religion, people who suspend the very laws and ideals that make us uniquely American.
The fuckers tricked all the scared Republicans into signing off on anything to make them safer! That's the very definition of terrorism, 9/11 scared the piss out of the right and they fucking caved in and decided to scare the rest of America into voting for them, cause if you don't vote for a Republican you could DIE! The right handed everything OBL could have hoped for on a platter. remember what the election of 04 was about? 9/11 9/11 9/11 not banks and bubbles and jobs and oversight, not homes and food safety and government response to actual disasters, like Katrina. So you are correct in assuming that I am a fool, a fool for believing that we are stronger than some asshole in a cave in whereverstan who still causes the right to piss their panties, unless you argue that the repubs aren't scared just pretending to be scared, even worse.
You sure have that right-Sociopathy, the party of sociopathy.
between a hot potato and a hot turd.
Come to think about it, for him a hot turd would be much better.
"Let's talk dirty to the animals"
Eric Can'tor is still recycling the same ole meme the Iraq was about fighting for our freedoms rather than a lie based war based on WMD's and 911 being fought for big oil, the defense contractors and Halliburton. Our troops have bravely fought and died for the deceitful and corrupt elite Republican Guard....and I don't mean the Iraqi Republican Guard either.
the ultimate tool. That "fighting for our freedom," sloganized crap probably rings well with his lobotomized base, but it's a joke. The war in Iraq has nothing, and I mean nothing to do with the freedom of U.S. citizens.
Fighting for our freedoms? Just how stupid and craven do you have to be to say or swallow that load of shite? It is beyond belief.
Seems like the Republicans are always left "holding the hot potato" when the economy takes a BIG nose dive. Yet they won't admit that they baked the potato. Romney continues to sound stupid.
... a construction worker opens his lunchbox and looks at his meal with distaste. "Damnit, a peanut butter sandwich. Again. Never anything different, peanut butter, peanut butter, peanut butter. Every single fucking day!"
"Why don't you ask your wife to make you something different?" asks a co-worker.
"Leave my wife out of this! I make my own sandwiches!" yells the first man.
Forgot about this joke. It certainly does apply.
The dumber a candidate is, the more crooked of a swindler he/she is and the more Hannity whines, Limpballs lies, the more chance he'll get the republican nod.
Republicans always vote against their own best interests.
Woe... are these two the faces from the campaign for a New America? They sound like the same old, same old b.s. And what's with the rights of the individuals rhetoric? So far, I haven't lost any individual rights under the Democrats. It's the Republicans that always place corporate rights over individual rights. Let's keep a close watch on their noses and see if the noses keep getting longer over the next year.
Corporate rights are what they're talking about when they say 'individual rights'...
Freedom is a code word for greed, that's why I'm offended by having Gods name on the instruments of it, because that makes greed ok.
Can'tor: We don't need to change to be like Democrats, we're the party of faith who believe in God.
Hahahahahaha! Still trying con the believers into voting against their own best interests! I guess if you believe in a bearded old dude living in th clouds watching over everybody and the earth was created 6000 years ago when man roamed with the dinosaurs you'll swallow anything!
I was raised Catholic and still believe in God, though I do not practice my faith in terms of going to church, observing Lent, etc.
But it seems to me that Christ set an example of ministry that was not based on condemning the poor or those held to be sinful. If anything, His harshest words were against the rich and powerful, the Scribes and the Pharisees - and that's why he was painted as a dangerous, politically unacceptable rabble-rouser.
The style of Christianity that seems to pass muster with the GOP is the antithesis of Christ's teachings. If you don't believe as they do, you're stupid, you're not a 'real' Christian, you're going to hell.
If 'faith' and 'belief in God' nonetheless allow for torture and the particularly vile smears/accusations of fascism/communism/socialism/thisism/thatism that the right seems to have become fixated upon - well, I can't imagine that God is particularly pleased that His Name is being used in that manner.
Jesús weeps because the KKKristians take HIS name and heap shit on it.
Mitty and his like are NOT CHRISTIANS at all. Jesus said look at their works if you need to know the fakes. Matt. Ch.16. Read it all. Yes, the only population with which JESUS was angry were the $$$$$$$$$ people, the money changers in the Temple court yard.
I also followed a similar path...alter boy, sneak wine after church, neck with my girlfriend in the basement, etc.
God dropped off the radar when I was in my twenties.
I agree with your ideas of rich and powerful. No one had any real money where I grew up. Wages were at most the minumum type, $1 per hour when Kennedy put the MW thrugh.
The baptist people were the most weird in our town. Their beliefs were very strange. As noted, no one would pass the mustard in their opinion.
"Let's talk dirty to the animals"
Thank you!
Here's one for you....
I don't believe, yet 1000% agree! If the "christian" church actually followed the teachings and saying of the person it was supposed founded on, I would gladly go to church!
You see, I don't believe in the magic, but the original context of love your neighbor or, horrors!!!, love your enemy is right!
If we don't...civilization is doomed.
I wonder if Mitt will run again in '12? But who would vote Republican?
There is something mentally wrong with people who vote republican .
Their self-serving, rob the poor to enrich the wealthy, corporate elitist policies, hate mongering, and phony Christian, American Talibanism was/is a disaster for this country. Even some of the Fundies were hugely angered by the intrusion of the Repugnants into Famiy affairs and decisions (Shiavo case). They are incompetent at running government and their policies have enriched the Santelli's of this country and impoverished the rest of us. Republican ideas will, and nearly did, destroy this country.
I'm pretty sure the collapse of the stock market was due to McCain's choice of Sarah Palin for a running mate. The ultra-wealthy looked at that ridiculous choice, and said "Oh my god, we're going to lose." Then they panicked at the thought of a black Democrat in the White House and the confidence-based market bubble collapsed.

why am I not surprised that John King let eric cantor get away with how americans were tired of the war effort and how the troops were keeping us safe...safe from what? we need to be safe from romney/cantor/etal...oh boy
... George W. Bush file cabinet.
"Y'see, I knew people would fergit why we hafta fight ..."
I think of the republican party as the party of Seinfeld Administration , All bluster no EMPATHY for non-human -human beings.
...so long as they can keep the other guys from succeeding.
They are immune to criticism because they get into government on a platform of not believing in government. Except, of course, for national defense which is little more than a protection racket, but which is unassailable because it is so hard to face the truth about what those young lives in flag draped caskets died for - greed and vanity, fueled by deceit and fear mongering.
you should trademark your summation. That was gold!
The dumbest billionaire on the planet.
We Dems shouldn't ignore the fact that the economic meltdown played a big role in the Republican defeat.
I'm sure that the Republican way of governance was pretty much a corrupt failure, but, I'm also sure that the tippin point occurred with the economic disaster.
Wow. Mitt actually copped to the truth - the Repugs deliberately ruin the constitutional foundations of America, it's economic strength and it's international integrity, then try to pass that hand grenade to the incoming Democratic administration before it blew up in their faces in Sept. 2008.
Gee, it's almost as if they knew the Dems were going to be coming into power back then, and hoped the American public would have a real short memory,..hmmm,...it's almost as if they wanted to lose the election,..
Make no mistake, we're where we're at by design.
Bush admitted as much early in his presidency as well.

The Re-Thuglic Party IS the Hot Potato.
The interesting thing about the ongoing analysis by re-Thugs of their loss of power is that they are unable to be honest about it. Whether or not they realize there are real reasons and are ready to face them and make changes will determine their future.

The bubble did not only burst at the end of 2008, it was 2007, and in my line of work it was 2006 and 2005. So, what's he talking about? This was only new to the wealthiest on Wall Street and their clanging bitches at CNBC and FAUX. I have hope in the 38% who are Independent versus the 35% Democrat and 20% Repub.
Michelle Bachmann recently telling the story about FDR and the "Hoot Smalley" act, when FDR was caught holding the "Hot Potato" in about 1930.
Only one problem, Smoot Hawley was brought by two Republicans and Hoover, not FDR, was the one that signed the act into law as FDR wasn't elected until '32.
I love Bachmann, I hope she stays in congress a long time.
and Keith Olbermann made her one of his "Worst Persons in the World" for this one, ridiculing the fact that she didn't even have the name of the bill correct.
She is our ticket to a Dem majority for a long, long time.
Keep voting her into the MN US 6th

Too much spending caused the collapse? That's an interesting theory that I haven't heard made explicitly before. Personally, I think the economic collapse occurred because of spending we *didn't* do-- on regulators and prosecutors.
when we invaded Iraq.
I guess the same one that told them Bush was a Born Again Christian.
The GOP: A lost tribe of ignorance.
... has ever been to a zoo should know that Chimps are natural mimics.
Stay in denial guys, we like winning elections.
Wow, way to take responsibility, Mitt.
Translation: "We just happened to be in office for 8 years of scandal, corruption, gross incompetence, abuse of the constitution, war based on lies, doubling the national debt and the worst financial crisis in 80 years. We had nothing to do with any of it. Luck o' the draw. Vote Republican, OK?"
It's NEVER their fault.
It wasn't their fault that we found no WMDs in Iraq, or that Bin Laden is still breathing free air, Katrina sure as hell wasn't their fault, the mortgage meltdown wasn't their fault, record unemployment isn't their fault. Etc.
This stuff coulda happened to anyone. Don't know why y'all hold the Republicans responsible. They're never responsible for anything.
..little trophies from W that said, "Way to go!"
You know, just like the little trophies you get when you come in last. Keep building that self-esteem, doncha' know, you betcha'!

they got gold stars on their construction paper made pointed hats.
"Let's talk dirty to the animals"
means cutting Social Security and medicare and not doing a damned thing about Universal Health Care; while larding money on the military. Keeping taxes low means keeping our rate about the same but cutting them for the coupon clippers and top 1%.
Why is it we always "need to do something baout entitlements" but not about our out of control military spending? If the GOP does not want to be the world's policeman (or have they changed their minds on that?) then why do they insist we arem ourselves as such?
"Did the American public tire of the Iraq War? You had better believe it. Even though we had our men area women were fighting every day for our freedom, the public's patience was wearing thin because no one likes to be at war. "
Tired of the WAR? It was an ILLEGAL WAR. There were no WMD's, no imminent threat, no link to 9/11 AND you idiots let it all happen. No one likes to be at war but our brave men and women didn't have to go to Iraq for our safety. They needed to be focused on the bastards who flew planes into our buildings, on our soil and killed thousands of our citizens, not making wealthy people wealthier by improperly wiring showers killing our troops and sending them into the meat-grinder unprotected. Keep it up Mr. Cantor, please keep it up! You speak such BS, if thousands hadn't been killed and thousands more maimed and/or crippled, it would almost be amusing to listen you but its not.
You lost the election, NOW, please move over and let the adults take over!
Mickey: "It was an epiphany. Do you know what an epipany is?"

I noticed the same idiot statement.
These guys are delusional idiots.
What is sad is that at least 40% of the country is as delusional as they are.
in Iraq than bin Laden killed on 9/11.
I think it likely that Mr. Romney believes what he said, primarily that the economy fell apart because of government overspending, rather than catastrophically stripping away vital layers of regulation and gutting the mandate for oversight agencies actually to oversee. I also think it likely that he's not alone in the highest echelons of the Republican party.
The only thing to fear from such people is the possibility that they will somehow seize power again. But in the meantime, it seems like they're far too busy deluding themselves to make a case for deluding the country.
They were able to con the American people so long by waving the flag and holding the bible, that they just can't understand why it doesn't work anymore.
Funny thing about people, when they have lost their jobs, homes and everything else, they tend to start paying more attention to the details out of necessity. Ergo, the GOP is screwed!
But, for these gazillionaires like Mittens, who have never had to worry about anything but their own narcissistic happiness, and whether or not the garden party theme was properly decorated, nothing has changed. In fact, times have never been better. Thanks to the Bush family crime syndicate, they are not only super rich, they also pay very little in taxes on their obscene amounts of wealth.
That's why they always sound so stupid and out of touch when they talk. because they know the real problem in this country for 95% of the people, is folks like them.
If I were a psychopath, I would join the republican party, and get in on the gravy train taking the Teabircher morons to the cleaners.
"Our message is strong. It was all just bad timing."
Vote GOP and move forward to the 18th Century.

You may be strong, but smell ain't everything.
Christianity has become so intertwined with conservatism that they seem to engage in faith based politics. if you would just accept these tenets into your heart despite contrary evidence (the earth is not the center of the universe, we just didn't deregulate enough) then you would see they are true...
...then in a few hundred years you will see they are false but everything else will still be true, until it's not.
And how did that potato get so hot, Mitt?
Hey, perhaps it was subjected to one of your "Enhanced Interrogation Techniques".
Yeah Mittens, it couldn't have anything to do with the massive transfer of wealth to assholes like you from the GOP, while doing everything you possibly could to wipe-out the working class.
Scumbags like you (top .1%), now own 40% of ALL the wealth in this country. Gee, no wonder the economy is in the shitter for the rest of us. Dipshit!
If I were a psychopath, I would join the republican party, and get in on the gravy train taking the Teabircher morons to the cleaners.

"And as the governor says, we had a collapse in our financial markets 30 days before the election. So there was a lot of fear, and a lot of desire to say, hey, we want to put these bad times behind us."
Hey, Mitt. Which party pushed for the repeal of the Glass-Steagall act of 1933 back in 1999? Why (Gasp!) it was YOUR now toxic party, led by Phil Graham and the rest of you free-marketeers.

Mitt Romney looks like a department store mannequin and has the brains of one too.
I love when they can't answer a question and pull out the whole "God and patriotism" spiel. You can spot it from a mile away.
... it's a mandate to govern from the right, when the left wins it's a mandate to govern from the center right. That's pretty much the meme you see on the MSM. Yet when the middle defects to the left, as in the last election, the right says, you know what? Our problem is we aren't far enough to the right! Well I guess their plan is to go so far right they circumvent the globe and end up on the left?
clinton left the country with a surplus and had cut back on wasteful programs...outsourcing was in its infancy and was not being rewarded, and most companies thought it was too big of a risk
bush comes in...sends a check to everyone (that came out of the next year's taxes) and then begins a spending spree and cuts taxes
there was no hot potatoe
and mittons is one of the architects of the recent bubble...for his job in the private sector was to buy companies and then destroy them...helping to further erode the manufacturing base
and cantor is one of the dumbest men on the planet
is a campaign slogan that appears to apply to Democratic administrations. When Republican policies fail, it is just bad luck.
Romney is a slimy used car salesman. He always pretends things aren't his fault or his party's. It wasn't a hot potato. It was a grenade, or really, a number of grenades, the GOP tossed to the middle class, and some of the public noticed the explosions.
Not all used car salesmen are slimy.
America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. ~ Abraham Lincoln
...you go to the store and buy the potato and then come home and rinse it off, put some foil on it, throw it in the oven, then pull it out and burn the shit out of yourself (the first six years your holding it nobody else is even home)...that's not really how you play hot potato.
That's the trouble with the GOP. They STILL think this is a GAME.
America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. ~ Abraham Lincoln
When you are wealthy, robbing the poor is a game, is it not?
Hasn't it kind of become a game? How many Americans really pay attention?
It shouldn't be a game, but that doesn't change facts. I was chatting with a gay guy online and he told me he, "Voted for Bush twice, damn straight, cuz he was keeping us safe." Of course, I sorted him out, and asked why he would vote for gay-haters, and he later felt ashamed, and promised to vote Dem.
See, we foreigners can help, one vote at a time.
far left loon >.<
The GOP has nothing but time to sit around thinking up silly reasons why they lost and to do nothing but vote no on everything. They even preemptively come up with ways to vote no on issues that have not even come to the forefront yet. The GOP is the party of nothing. It's a front operation for the very wealthy.
Yeah Romney , was just bad luck and bad timing wasn't it ? Nothing to do with Bush and you Repugs rubber stamping everything the lunatics in the NUT House wanted to do , running the country right into the ground . This King dude is a joke , is this the best CNN could do ?
"The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all."
Never watch Fixed Propaganda station either.
Willfull Ignorance, wrapped in Intelectual Morbidity, surrounded by Cronic Antipathy....
I'm not sure Mitt Romney was so wrong is his assessment.
Isn't it all one big game of hot potato, with an American public that is willfully tuned out? Don't get stuck with a bad economy during your reign!! We might know what's going on, but don't most people just catch a few minutes of the (corporate) TV news to be informed? They seem to spew a lot of soundbites. About half were for John McCain until the economy tanked, and he looked like a fool with his gibberish.
far left loon >.<
And then left the smoking hot potato in Obama's lap.
Not at all a fair analogy, Mitt.
"Fighting for our freedoms"???
Wow, still beating that dead horse. I think it's pretty obvious to most thinking people that the war had nothing to do with our "freedoms"
Our kids' grandkids will still be working like slaves to pay for the billions of dollars in bonuses handed to the richest handful of CEOs and executives in the U.S.
The AIG CEO walked off with a $300,000,000 package.
On a decent salary of $150,000, you'd still have to work TWO THOUSAND YEARS to make that kind of money.
Thanks for that freedom, Mitt.
to see Mitt run in 2012. It would give Obama a (slightly) smarter opponent than Palin. I'm tired of seeing Moose Lady on my teevee.
NOBODY 2012
