Scarborough Elevates Talarico to ‘Obama-esque’ Status After Saturday Night Live Cameo

Monday's Morning Joe continued their gushy ride on the Talarico train, insisting Talarico could be a charistmatic Caucasian version of Obama.

After playing the clip of Talarico's SNL cold open appearance on Saturday, Joe Scarborough raved:

"I just want to comment on James Talarico coming in and getting that uproarious applause. It really is almost Obama-esque as far as the level of intensity and the support for him. I’ve got to say James Talarico, if you just take one person, he really has emerged. As far as just pure star power, it’s really hard to beat what James Talarico has come to mean."

A sad day for Texas

A sad day for America

Any idiot who thinks things will improve
under the Democrats apparently didn’t pay
attention to Resident Vegetable Joe Biden

It's been said that the single most important TV appearance by a Presidential candidate was when Richard Nixon appeared for a few seconds on Rowan&Martin's "Laugh-In" in Sept 1968, and said the then-current tagline, "SOCK IT TO ME" as a question.

Nixon was regarded by most Americans as stiff and boring and nerdy. These few seconds "humanized" him and showed his sense of humor brilliantly.

It is generally agreed that if not for that fleeting cameo, he probably would have lost to Hubert Humphrey in the '68 election.

Never downplay the potential impact of this kind of cameo.

Ditto for Bill Clinton playing the saxophone on The Arsenio Hall Show.

I’ll gladly take up the slack.

I heard NASA plans to send a probe to explore Scarborough’s bulbous nose, but it may be difficult considering where he keeps his head.

(I had to tame it down due to women folk being on the forum.)

We have a teachable moment here, if we want to use it. The Deep State likes creating fake personas for queers. Something about their psyche works well for political reshaping. Perhaps it is that they are already antisocial narcissists.

Talarico should have to explain his campaign disappearance for reprogramming. I would guess the Ketamine/Electroshock did not completely hold up.

I hate to say it but if ‘RATs do to Texas what they have done to the election system in Arizona and Colorado, it will never go Republican again. Thus the presidential race will never go Republican again.

You left out Georgia. I think you are right. Once the ‘Rats are running things, there are no more fair elections.

America is undergoing a test - to see if unpopular one-party rule can lead. Then, it will be like China.

Did Joe flutter his eyelashes while talking about Talarico?
