"More Balloons!"

Posted on 07/29/2004 8:03:50 PM PDT by Lunatic Fringe

CNN played the coordinator feed live for the ballon drop. We heard:

"Go balloons! Go balloons!"

"More balloons! Where the hell are the balloons?"

"I want more balloons, God Dammit!"

"What the f*ck are you guys doing up there?!"

Almost better is the "what the f*** are you guys DOING up there???"

Freepers have been asking basically the same thing about the Democrats for the last 14 years...

Drudge keeps adding more and more text.

The latest:

DNC CONVENTION DIRECTOR DON MISCHER AIRED ON CNN AS KERRY ENDS SPEECH, HEARD WORLDWIDE: 'Go balloons, go balloons! Go balloons! I don't see anything happening. Go balloons! Go balloons! Go balloons! Standby confetti. Keep coming, balloons. More balloons. Bring it- balloons, balloons, balloons! We want balloons, tons of them. Bring them down. Let them all come. No confetti. No confetti yet. No confetti. All right, go balloons, go balloons. We need more balloons. All balloons! All balloons! Keep going! Come on, guys, lets move it. J*sus! We need more balloons. I want all balloons to go, g*dd**mit. Go confetti. Go confetti. More confetti. I want more balloons. What's happening to the balloons? We need more balloons. We need all of them coming down. Go balloons- balloons? What's happening balloons? There's not enough coming down! All balloons, what the h*ll! There's nothing falling! What the f**k are you guys doing up there? We want more balloons coming down, more balloons. More balloons. More balloons'...

The guy in charge of CNN's live feed (apparently they route it through the studios in Atlanta) lives in my condominium complex. I'll ask him about it if I see him later tonight or tomorrow.

Go wake him up.

What's incredibly funny, not to mention ironic as hell, about this is watching CNN help to torpedo the very candidate they're also trying to get elected.

The SS Lurch started listing badly, just as it was casting off the dock. It'll sink in the channel, bottling up 'Rat smugglers for months.

At that time, without specific reference, Hume was talking about how Carter's 1980 balloon drop failed, and how it was a metaphor for that entire campaign. LOL

We've already got a possible metaphor for the campaign from Sunday night's game in Boston: Kerry can't throw strikes...in fact, he can't even hit the catcher!

Those were the days. I have to admit; it was somehow easier to face off the Soviets, rather than these damend terrorists.

It is definitely a whole different ballgame.

You'll have to excuse the sentimental ramblings of an old Cold-Warrior. OK! that's over! Now let's go out and kill some bad guys.

You bounce back pretty quick, Warrior; good survival skill!

Omigosh! That's a riot. Even funnier than Kerry's speech.

This will give FReepers much material for satire over the next few days.

A new chant for Kristinn and the other FR activists at all Kerry events:

"MORE BALLOONS. MORE BALLOONS. SEND IN THE CLOWNS!"

Comrade Kerrys new motto:

"WHAT THE F*** ARE YOU GUYS DOING UP THERE?"

Good f'n grief! They just played Ride of the Valkerie!

They must have a fifth columnist selecting the tunes. The Vietnam "connection" to that strain of music has me doubled up laughing!

"I love the smell of napalm in the morning... it smells like victory!"

What was the name of that lunatic in Apocalypse Now who played Wagner from the loudspeaker of the helicopter before napalming civilians?

Nice touch, evoking that imagery -- while showing fireworks!

There's got to be either a Republican (or two) snuck into the campaign (Mr. Balloon and Mr. Tune), or else the Democrats are the biggest idiots in the galaxy!

Ride of the Valkerie. Right in the aftermath of Mister-I-Can't-Shut-Up-About-My-Time-In-Vietnam giving his speech. Played with huge fireworks going off in the background. Imagine that.

The mind boggles...
