In the news in recent days is the new democrat party strategy to try to compare likely gop-er presidential nominee Mitt Romney to Missouri grad Jon Hamm's "Don Draper" character from the TV show "Mad Men" (link at bottom).Leaving aside the second grade level of rhetoric trying to score points against a political opponent by comparing him to a pop culture character or TV show, what's WRONG with being like Jon Hamm? Hell, if anything, it's an insult to Hamm to compare him to Romney!
And if the democrat party next starts working Kansas jayhawker smack into its rhetoric (e.g., "Mitt Romney wants to return us to the days of the Missourah slavers"), I'm REALLY gonna get riled up over here.
SOME things should be off-limits in campaigns. Like family. Like educational records (if you're Obama, leastways). And methinks the voters' alma maters should be off-limits too. Lay off Missouri, democrat party. We've suffered enough already in recent weeks, years, decades, lifetimes, etc.

Speaking of MU suffering.....have you heard about Pinkel separating from his wife?? Scandal!
ReplyDeleteNo, but I never go on Tigerboard anymore. I used to be up on all the latest rumors. That's a rather remarkable rumor.
ReplyDeleteIt was in the Columbia Tribune:

Oh! So it be true. Haven't been paying much attention to MU lately, but I am wondering whether Gary made a remarkable leap here, or whether it was his old lady who gave HIM the Pinkel slip. Maybe I'll have to read some more about it.
ReplyDeleteI think she gave him the boot, but don't quote me on that....I'm not what you'd call a 'family friend' so we haven't actually spoken about it, you see =) haha!
ReplyDeleteThis plus the DUI in the same year is not a good sign for the future.
ReplyDeleteI think he had been with a 'lady' in question just prior to getting the DUI.....allegedly. Total speculation on that one =)
ReplyDeleteReally? I thought he was having drinks with the old lady on the DUI night? Jeezal peezal, I stay off Tigerboard anymore (largely due to limited time resources), and I'm totally out of the know these days! I'll have to rely on you to tell me what's going on at MU.
ReplyDeleteWell, I have to be good for something for you, otherwise you'll have no need for me! If it's MU gossip, that's what I'll keep doing =)
ReplyDeleteI just hope Pinkel's not driving that alleged girlfriend broad around on his damn motorcycle. That has Bobby Petrino written all over it.
ReplyDeleteI'll pass that advice on to him, I know he'll appreciate it =)
ReplyDeleteHe'd find it utterly remarkable.
