PLEASE put this up on it!

Here is an immortal quote: "The Republicans drove the country into a ditch, then complain about the cost of the Tow Truck."

16. There is a WWE Hall of Fame
I wouldn't be surprised to see Cornette in there some day. He has been very influential in professional wrestling for the last 20+ years.

It's time for EVERY Dem to call the Right Wing Bull Shit right when it splats down in front of them. Do it at once.

17. Nice to see nobody taking cheap shots at pro wrestling
Like it or not, it is an art form and does have some very brilliant and creative people in it. Cornette has always been amazing whether entertaining or speaking his mind.

In case anyone is wondering what started this rant, a former ECW/WWE commentator named Joey Styles has been taking cheap shots and repeating right wing talking points in his twitter, etc. People in this business do a lot of infighting, but normally not about politics. Interesting to see.

20. Dem pols and pundits could learn a lot from
watching wrestling promos. The best shoot promos come from the heart and tap into what the audience is feeling and what they identify with. Dusty Rhodes does a promo on "Hard Times" where he strikes a populist chord that a Dem would be smart to emulate. He started it back in the 1980s, when people were hitting some tough times with the savings and loan crisis and the dark years of Reaganomics, drought etc. At the time his main rival was Ric Flair who was all dressed up in suits and represented a sleek, shifty corporate image, while Dusty was the chubby "plumber's son." People loved him for it. When I hear him do that promo it gives me chills. If I ever ran for office, I would probably do something similar. People feel that, it's entertainment but when you can make people forget just for a second and make them believe it's real and hit on something in their lives, that's a big deal.

40. Way to go Jim!
Vince McMahon is a staunch republican. He even repremanded wrestlers who displayed Obama stickers or openly supported Democrats. I doubt Cornette will ever make it into the WWE hall of fame because Vince simply doesn't like him.

54. Yep
During the Iraq War he made Chris Nowinski's character a weak kneed anti-war liberal who sided with the Quebec-based, French-Canadian La Resistance (Vince had to slam the French in this as well) as heels against Patriotic "Pro-Troops" faces. It was sickening and the angle got a pretty mixed reaction from the audience so it was scrapped after a month or two. Either way it showed how sick Vince's mind is when it comes to politics.

47. Doesn't suprise.
If you had ever seen Cornette in the old days when he used to shoot on RAW, you know he is capable of this vitriol. I loved the promo as he also used carny talk (heel, mark). Didn't agree with the 'All Star lineup' comment (some of Obama's cabinet are a little suspect) but I loved the passion of the rest.

The guy is really smart and a good progressive. She invited him back because he was such a good interview / co-host and I don't think it happened. It was a good show. He talked about how many of the WWF guys are wingers.
