THERE WAS SOMETHING FUNNY ABOUT SCOTT BAIO’S R.N.C. SPEECH


Almost every fortune cookie becomes more amusing when you add “in bed” at the end. And almost every sentence in Scott Baio’s speech at the Republican National Convention on Monday nightbecomes more amusing when you add “like my career” at the end. Here are some favorite examples.
But for you first-time voters, it’s important for you to know what it means to be an American. It doesn’t mean getting free stuff . . . like my career.

It means sacrificing. Winning. Losing. Failing . . . like my career.

And sometimes doing the things you don’t want to do . . . like my career.

But, folks, our country right now is in a very bad spot . . . like my career.

There’s no stability . . . like my career.

Nothing seems right . . . like my career

At least Chachi didn't speak to a chair as if it could understand.

Don't remember seeing Chachi at all. Never was a serious fan of it--I preferred to spend my time studying calculus or chess rather than vapid TV shows. (yeah, I'm a colossal geek. Still occasionally pull my differential equations textbook out and work through problems in it........)

It's not that he sucks at acting and fellow Tea Bagger, Adam Sandler has to give him sympathy gigs.

Ah, the party of personal responsibility!



There are too many successful Republicans in Hollywood to be able blame career doldrums on one's party affiliation.
