"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?!"

Oh, that is hilarious! I was watching Fox and missed it. Does anyone have it on tape to send out somehow en masse, via email?

Listening to some jackass on WABC radio talking about how perfectly the balloon drop went......because it went poorly in 1980 for Carter and it was a bad portent.
LOLOLOL the spinning is hilarious.

LOL -- I was thinking about that song after the balloon fiasco!
99,000 Lead Balloons may be more appropriate for his speech...

They want to run the country but can't even do a balloon drop right.

I had just switched to CNN to hear some reactions and heard the whole thing.
Talk about hilarious...what I can't understand is why CNN didn't immediately cut the mike. Funny hearing Wolf Blitzer trying to explain why the guy kept using profanity.
Heard same balloon problem happened to Carter in '80. Priceless.

"Where's Nena, just when you need her 99 Luftballoons?"
Ah, an appropriate comment considering Senator Kerry's "rode my bike into Soviet East Berlin" speech tonight.
Those little luftballoons were how free West Germans sent radios and newspapers into East Germany to spread the truth and help bring down Communism.

If that happened in 1980 and again this time it sounds like a good omen to me.

Aww, don't be so hard on them. It was a simple miscommunication. They thought he was saying "More Buffoons!" and all went in search of Al Sharpton.

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
