George Will: A star was born tonight.

[ZX86]

Joni Ernst.

[hrmjustin]

1. More like the person chosen to play her on SNL.

[ZX86]

3. Pretty much

[joshcryer]

14. Holy crap.

[LynneSin]

27. I'm picking Kate McKinnon as the favorite to play Joni Ernst on SNL

McKinnon has one of the best ranges for impersonations doing some amazing ones including Justin Bieber, Tilda Swinton, Jane Lynch and Angela Merkel. But lately Cecily Strong has been doing some great impersonations so I would pick her as the underdog for the skit.

It'll be interesting to see who gets the nod but you know SNL won't let this one slide.

2. Oh Pulease.....THAT is what passes for stardom on the Right.....woooo doggies...they are scraping

bottom!

[ladjf]

4. I assume that Will is joking. nt

[ZX86]

12. He wasn't.

He was dead serious.

[emulatorloo]

53. I doubt he beleives a single word he says. So disingenous, like all Republican mouthpieces. N/T

[blogslut]

5. I know! It was just like Disneyland!

The animatronics were amazing!

[shenmue]

18. We have a winner

[nolabear]

49. *snort!*

[SummerSnow]

6. last time Rethugs thought they got a Rethug star she landed a reality show ...

and joined with Twitter at the hip

[Ineeda]

7. Holy crap.

We know he's a RWNJ, but blind and deaf, too? How sad. But I'll resist the temptation to mock the afflicted.

[grasswire]

8. Is this a joke?

Wow.

[gopiscrap]

9. You've got to be fucking kidding me

[arthritisR_US]

10. Coming from him, she flopped. nt

[SummerSnow]

11. oh yea a real star...

[lunasun]

24. "She wants women barefoot and pregnant and living in poverty"

Looks like she will push for bread bags over barefoot as of tonight

[LynneSin]

29. On the bright side those women might be given breadbags to cover their feet

[AndreaCG]

13. HAHAHAHAHAHA!

More like a falling star.

[hatrack]

15. Shrill, stiff and stupid - kind of like you, George. Guess that explains it . . . .

Oh, and let's not forget the same old bullshit about heavy-handed regulations, and the miracles that more tax cuts and one pipeline will produce, if only that mean ol' Obama wasn't in the way!!!

[Rex]

16. Well in all fairness, George Will thinks he is an intellectual.

I think I deserve a solid gold unicorn that farts rainbow sprinkles! We all think crazy shit at times; like George Will is someone important and knows what he is talking about.

[BeyondGeography]

17. Say it ain't so

[yortsed snacilbuper]

39. Is Chri$tie pigeon toed?

It looks like his shoes are pointing inward!

[Beaverhausen]

19. Surely Luke russert will say the same tomorrow.

[Autumn]

20. I am reminded of a young Sarah Palin.

[pinboy3niner]

21. Rye humor?

[BlueJazz]

32. That's funny but it could get stale

[Roland99]

33. Her TV career is toast

[BlueJazz]

36. For right now though, she a rising star.

[Roland99]

38. She represents the best of the enriched white

[BlueJazz]

40. Very true but she does bring along quite a bit of bag-gage.

[BlueJazz]

43. We should stop talking about her. We sound like a pair of heels. (And I'm sleepy)

[Roland99]

44. Wheat! Wheat! Doughn't go

[BlueJazz]

55. !! I woke up to see that. Funny !

[Roland99]

61. hehe...better responses here than with my wife

[Orrex]

58. I hereby formally declare that to be the finest post in the thread.

This is definitive.

[Roland99]

60. Any way ya slice it, it does fit, doesn't it?

[Orrex]

65. It's a thing of Wonder.

[StevieM]

22. I honestly think I was fair-minded in making my assessment of her performance.

I understand that swing-voters and independents don't always look at things the same way that I do.

But I thought her response was preposterous. She didn't come across well IMO nor did she make her party look impressive.

She may be a star to Republicans but not to the mainstream.

[Frustratedlady]

34. I agree. I think they made the speech up ahead of time (not knowing what BO's speech would include)

so she could rehearse ahead of time. It sounded rehearsed...actually, it sounded like her campaign speech in many places...and had echoes of the Koch bros in it.

She will always be known as the castrator who wore bread bags on her only pair of shoes. I call BS on those bags. In fact, I don't believe the majority of crap she puts out. She's been caught lying so many times, why believe anything she says?

[StevieM]

42. Well...plenty of people believed her lies in 2014. But after 6 years I think she will be shown

the door in 2020.

[Generic Brad]

23. George Will delivered a non-sequiter

Two random statements: A star was born tonight. Joni Ernst.

Not quite sure what those two statements have in common.

[ecstatic]

25. He's delusional. I checked out a right wing site

and the reaction to her "speech" ranged from polite to outright hate.

[AndreaCG]

48. I checked out a thread in freeperville

Split about 50/50. Quite a few comments about her hairstyle, or lack thereof. A couple had the insight to pick up that jokes will be made about her shoes.

[kelliekat44]

26. Poor George. He is slowly losing it. nt

[elias49]

31. I haven't seen him on the tube in...

months and months I think. Being reminded of him didn't help my mood.

[Recursion]

28. Nice to know the "ooh shiny!" messiah complex isn't solely a thing of the left (nt)

[trueblue2007]

30. she is a buffoon. no star. george will is a moron

[Tanuki]

59. +1000. "Buffoon" captures it perfectly in a single word. n/t

[Gothmog]

35. George Will is an idiot

[elias49]

37. This is the lady who castrates hogs for fun, isn't it?

Jeez George! Edgy.

[rocktivity]

41. Really? All the DU threads I've seen suggest she went over like

a lead zeppelin!




rocktivity

[6000eliot]

45. He should go back to apologizing for rape.

[moondust]

46. Probably said the same about Bob McDonnell.

[Cha]

52. And, Bobby Jindal. and Ted "let me start over" Cruz.. lol

[onecaliberal]

47. Lol

[Stephen Retired]

54. Yes

About 17 million light-years away, and it AIN'T named Joni!

[B Calm]

56. After plowing the fields, working construction, biscuit line at Hardees she had to wear bread bags

for shoes. LOL

[Orrex]

57. George Will? I remember when he existed.

[11 Bravo]

62. Poor George. Loneliness and 200 mg of Viagra can cloud one's judgement.

[Orsino]

63. Columnist for sale to highest bidder.

Will re-type talking points.

[Tom Ripley]

64. Wingnuts are so desperate for that xx factor
