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.
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.
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.
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.
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......
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 always wonder what lines end up get nixed when preparing for these events. Plus I always wanted to write jokes for the Al Smith dinner. Here’s some material I came up with. Too harsh?:
It’s been a long journey for the President. His own VP once said, controversially, that Obama is “clean and articulate.” After the first debate, we can revise that to “semi-articulate.”
Harry Reid once said of Barack Obama, “It’s amazing. 25 years ago he would have been serving us coffee.” Not accurate Harry. 3 months from now he’ll be serving himself coffee and wondering what happened.
Hey wasn’t Vice President Biden all smiles in that debate. My mother used to say if you don’t have anything nice to say, smile and say nothing. In Joe’s case it’s smile and know nothing, then never shut up.
We all saw Joe Biden try to re-use the old “You’re no Jack Kennedy line” against Paul Ryan in their debate. Of course Ryan never could be like Jack. Paul has too much respect for his wife.
Speaking of that Kennedy mystique, can’t you just picture Teddy cheering President Obama’s re-election from beyond Mary Jo’s grave.
It’s getting close to Halloween and the President’s daughters need costumes. May I suggest Want and Envy. The First Lady can be the Ghost of One-term Democratic President’s future.
Speaking of one-term Presidents. How about a shout out to Jimmy Carter. Keep those peanuts warm Jimmy. We’ve got a human who needs a habitat January 20.
Some say President Obama is half black. Others say half white. Can’t we just settle on half assed.
I talked to one black girl who said she was voting for the President because he is black. Some people would call that racism, but I like to see that kind of Solidarity. Actually that was her first name.
Hillary Clinton say the buck stops with her. But only when Michelle is out of town.
The President has accused Republicans of perpetuating a “War on Women.” I’m starting to think Sandra Fluke won’t accept my proposal to be my 45th wife. C’mon Sandra, I’ll throw in some free birth control and tickets to “Book of Mormon.”
Actually that’s just a joke about tired stereotypes. In reality, The Mormon Church doesn’t allow polygamy any more and all women named Sandra Fluke are not annoying, entitled harpies.
Despite all the misconceptions, Mormonism is more popular then ever.. Even Bill Clinton was interested until found out we outlawed plural marriage and sorry Bill, “magic underwear” do not in fact cure herpies.
Speaking of the Clintons, it’s clear that Hillary has really found a real groove as Secretary of State. Who would have thought that taking a job that requires long hours and endless travel would improve a marriage.
Democrats have learned a lot from their past mistakes. You know, Mondale, Dukakis, Gore, Kerry.
Speaking of my old friend from MA, Mike Dukakis, there’s a guy who knows how the media operates. They’re both in the tank.
The President said the murder of 4 Americans in Libya was sub-optimal. What he really meant was sub-liminal. If you check this broadcast frame by frame you can see him begging the public to ignore this issue until after the election.
Somebody caught me on tape saying I don’t give a flying crap about 47% of America. Clearly I misspoke. There are alot of ways I could spin this. But here’s my favorite: President Obama is losing to me in the latest Gallup even though I straight up admitted I don’t give a flying crap about 47% of America. Imagine what would happen if I didn’t express sneering contempt for the public.
Is it just me and my wife, but at Al Smith roast, throughout the time that Ozero speaks, we noticed OZero several times exhibit a nervous twitch under his right eye. I think he is not holding up well under the pressure.
Think “Patterson’s Appliances” in “That Thing You Do” when the proprietor hears his son, the drummer kid, mention the competitor “Tele-Mart” who is killing his business.
Mr. Patterson freezes momentarily, staring at his son, you can see his anger boiling up and his face increasingly twitch as he tries to suppress the rage.
Al Smith IV gives tons of money to the most pro-abortion politicians in New York.
