From National Review's Jim Geraghty's "Morning Jolt"..
'But the single biggest metaphorical crotch-kick came from great-grandson Al Smith IV, who told President Obama...'
"We recognize that you have some challenges this year. But it's never good when your opponent has produced more jobs than you have sons.."
Don't know if there's a video clip.
Sort of sums it all up nicely....and maybe Al Smith IV was just getting in a few shots that His Eminence wanted to take, but obviously couldn't.
“We recognize that you have some challenges this year. But it’s never good when your opponent has produced more sons than you have jobs..”
that’s more like it.
Indeed. I don’t get the other version at all.
Seems like he blew the joke or was drunk.
Very good. LOL
By the way, Ann looked very pretty and glamorous at the Al Smith dinner. She looks much better with the hair up.
She’s a pretty woman, but a woman her age should wear her hair shorter. Just my humble opinion.
I have always said even women that look good with short hair would look better with long hair. However, it would be funny if she went as Rachel Maddow for Halloween.
I was struck by what a beautiful and elegant couple Mitt and Ann are.
Contrast that to the Obozo and the Wookie.
Nobody is worried about either of these two having a problem getting their spawn employed, male or female or anyone in-between.
Really..this campaign has put out some of the most failing jokes.
Yes, it will be nice to have nice looking AMERICANS back in the White House.
Regardless of appearances, it will be nice to have competent adults back in the White House.
And gracious.
I'm sorry, bit I don't get it. This seems like it was miss stated or confused in who is being addressed. Is he talking to Obama? If so, it doesn't make sense because he has no sons. It seems like the statement should have been that his opponent has produced more sons than he has jobs.
If he is talking to Romney it might make sense, but it isn't clear ...maybe it's reference to five sons compared to six or eight jobs. Maybe it's just me, but the comment is so confusing I don't find it that funny. It's like all those emails I get that say, "This is the funniest joke ever" -- I've stopped bothering to open them.
Exactly. And Romney has produced at least one job.
It’s always been a ‘rule’ that women over 50 or so should not wear long hair.
I don’t mean she should wear it short short- just so it doesn’t touch her shoulders.
C-Span has the whole 45 minutes, including that zinger - but for me the best part of the night was watching Chris Mathews, who was seated in back of and to the right of the speaker’s podium - he looked miserable - must know the tingle is over for good......
OH thanks, lol, yea, that is funny
But it’s never good when your opponent has produced more sons than you have jobs..”
Sons than jobs, sons, get it now?
That's the way I think it should have been said, but the way it was quoted makes no sense to me.
Romney is very good at these sort of things. Roasts and comedic quips. He was trained in Boston at the annual Saint Patricks Day event at a bar in the historic district. During these events all of the politicos roast each other and let me tell you they can get vicious! Google it!
I don’t know about that. Used to be the “rule”, but I’m in my 50’s, don’t look it and wear my blonde hair just past shoulders. Looking good, weigh about 115 and don’t look a day over 40. I even hate me ;D!
