[Jersey Devil]

8. when GWB was pres my kids gave me a rubber brick to throw at the tv

That was so much fun!

[freshwest]

37. I was so mad when the Shrub got in, I yelled at the TV everytime he or Cheney were on...

But I had a friend who went a bit further.


He mooned the TV every time they appeared.

His wife had to keep the living room curtains closed whenever he started watching.

[Tigress DEM]

39. ME TOO!!

Not the mooning, just the yelling.

[Hekate]

53. Ahhh, fond memories

One of the few laughs I had during the GWD era was the thread here where folks detailed their various methods of dealing with the stress of having Dubya appear on the tv screen.

Mooning was one. Screaming, cursing, throwing the remote, wearing out the remote in an effort to silence him and his minions....

[Jamastiene]

52. I needed lots of super glue during Shrub's time.

My aunt broke I don't know how many remote controls and other various objects around her hurling them at the TV anytime Shrub came on. Not only that, I learned that you can string many cuss words together that I had never heard spoken (shouted) together before.

I just always turned the channel when Shrub came on, lol. I couldn't stand even the sight of his face if the volume was muted.

[flying_wahini]

[demwing]

13. heh heh heh... Obama looks like

Clint Eastwood, arguing with the furniture

[trixie]

14. AWESOME

I should have tried that.

[clydefrand]

15. Every time Mitt talked

I covered my eyes for a while. Can't stand that man. He does not know how to tell the truth. He did look a bit sick or maybe he was feeling bad about all of the lies he has told.

[Maynar]

22. maybe he was feeling bad about all of the lies he has told

I'm pretty sure it wasn't that.

[jalAbi]

16. That is so funny!

I should have thought of that!

[ciking724]

17. That is so funny!

Either way this guy is awesome

[roguevalley]

21. somebody's dad is awesome

[Rockyj]

23. Works Better than Closing ONE eye!

[mountain grammy]

24. Very funny, thank you!

[dumbledork]

25. HAHA...that took me several minutes to 'get', I thought the TV was sitting on its side

like in that old Eddie Murphy movie The Distinguished Gentleman..................and it didn't make any sense until my brain focused. heehee

[AllieO]

26. why didn't I think of that??!!

I just pace around manically!

[Womaninabinder]

27. Funniest post ever! Thank you for that!

[avebury]

28. K&R nt

[LibGranny]

29. Great idea!

[Remmah2]

30. Sweeeetttttttttttt.

LOL

An original.

[Actionman]

32. I am in tears...

I understand your dad, I can't stand looking at the guy either... LMAO

This was good.

[Marie Marie]

33. LOL - Perfect solution to making the debates watchable.

[Brilly]

34. Oh My Goodness!!!

That is hilarious and smart. Who wants to look at Romney's face and his permanent
fake smile that he does.

[KauaiK]

35. My dear friend does the same thing!!!

[BeliQueen]

36. Brilliant.

Wish I had thought of it.

[xxqqqzme]

38. Love it!

A laugh is always appreciated.

[JoePhilly]

40. I used picture in picture and had the baseball game over Romney's face.

[kag]

41. I wish we'd thought of that, but...

What I really need is a way to MUTE half of the TV. My hubby won't (wouldn't) watch the debates because he gets nauseous whenever Rmoney speaks. So, for his health's sake we had to keep the TV turned off.

[sarchasm]

42. nose, meet coffee .. !!

[usaf-vet]

43. Your dad is a genius....

.....combined with the mute button I could cut the BS nearly in half.

[losangeleslibker]

44. Genius

That's so clever. Why didn't I think of that. I don't have a cupboard door but I could I have thought of something to use. That way I wouldn't have to see that arrogant smirk of his.

[SWTORFanatic]

45. Fortunately or unfortunately, I have a projector

nt

[Delphinus]

46. Took me some time to understand ...

got it now.

[Ecumenist]

47. I like your Dad

We needed a good laugh to start our day.

[trailmonkee]

48. not my dad... somebody else's awesome dad...

link is in the op where i found

[Ecumenist]

58. I postulate that my affection for dadlike people applies to yours too, after all, you're some

wonderfully nice man's child, aren't you?

[smelltest]

49. Whoever's Dad it was

they obviously didn't want Darth Romney's flop sweat to stain his furniture. Great photo - thanks for sharing.

[valerief]

50. Golden!

[kimbutgar]

51. Ha Ha you have an awesome Dad!

If my Dad were alive today he would probably do the same thing. Whenever he referred to republicans he always added, "dirty stinking lousy republicans". My Grandfather voted for Eisenhower and my Dad didn't talk to him for 2 weeks!

[librechik]

54. mute button at the ready?

just like our house

lol

GOTV!

[Yodaquoter]

55. Tell your Dad

I wish I were as creative.
TY for the laugh.

[louis-t]

56. Damn, wish I'd thought of that!

I did use the PIP feature and would switch back and forth from the ballgame to the debate. I put the 2nd channel feed right over Willard's face. I could see when Obama was talking and I would switch back.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

57. OMG, that is great! I have to admit, I take the coward's way out and let the DVR start taping. I let

it get pretty far ahead. Then, whenever Mittwit speaks, I fast forward. I just don't need to hear his lies and arrogance. He revolts me and angers me and I end up with high blood pressure and nausea. And I end up hearing most of that anyway when I watch the commentary and read about it later.

[Kurovski]

59. Classic.

It could work the other way as well.

And if Romney wasn't a thief of human souls and sunlight, it would be funny too.
