Sources close to Palin report that the ex-Guv wants “Loaf-power” on her side.
“Meatloaf is a natural born leader,” said one Palin camp insider. “Many people follow his every move. Donald Trump was smart enough to know that and use it for his benefit. Support for The Donald simply was really about Meatloaf support. Now that his Hairness has decided to vote no-go to running for prez, the valuable Meatloaf vote is up for grabs.”
“Obama’s an astute politician,” said an anonymous White House staffer, “he knows that where the Loaf goes, so goes America. The 2012 election will not be about jobs, the economy, deficits, wars or foreign policy– it’ll be about what the public really cares about: the washed-up rocker vote.”
Indeed. Now that Mike Huckabee has also announced that he will not run for the oval office, his rockin’ supporter, Ted Nugent (real name: Harvey Catscratchian) is also in play.
“The smart candidate will be the one who can muster both Meatloaf and Ted Nugent support. And if that person can also somehow figure a way to get Steven Tyler’s vote, why that candidate will be swept into office. Heck, even if you only get a pair of them, well, two out of three ain’t bad. Both Palin and Obama know how high the stakes are, and they’re both working it hard! Yee-dawddle!”
You frighten me sometimes, Pat.
In a good way, I hope, and not in a screaming-at-the-top-of-your-lungs-and-running-down-the-hall-clawing-at-the-walls way.
I’m hoping and praying Meatloaf is not too washed-up and will throw his support to Obama…I know for a fact B.O. loved “Paradise by the dashboard light” and played it to Michelle all the time when they were dating.
Mostly, in a look-at-the-way-this-brain-works-that-makes-me-laugh-but-also-makes-me-nervous-about-whether-his-thoughts-ever-become-actions way.
Larry, pundits have always had a difficult time weighing which way the Meatloaf leans. We’ll have to see how the pols play the ‘Loaf factor. Should be a good political season.
Oh. That’s good. I guess, Ms. Kitty.
Please have the nuns toss another Novena on the stack for me. I may need it.
You betcha.
Forget Meatloaf. Where’s The Boss stand? (Forget the Novena, too. Divine intervention just doesn’t work for some people. I tried it once with a large squadron of priests and got absolutely nothing.)
I don’t believe The Boss has declared his intentions yet. He could be a big influence, but traditionally rockers named after popular entrees are more influential than rockers named for authority figures.
As for the effectiveness of Novenas, it couldn’t hurt.
Curvin, a squadron of priests is not going to get the job done. You need the nunnies if you want to get the job done, if you want to get the ear of Lordy Lordy.
And here I am with a small herd of bishops…
I’m trying to picture Meatloaf at a tea party. I can’t do it.
Did you see the pics of Palin scarfing down second-rate NY pizza with Trump? I think she tossed Mr. Meatloaf under her bus. If you get anywhere near her, don’t turn your back for a second! She’s dangerous.
Does Meatloaf even go with tea?
Iced, maybe.
Sarah’s rewriting American history in Boston. I think she said that Paul Revere rode through Boston, ringing bells, warning the British avoid the meatloaf but instead order the halibut, maybe the clam chowder or a lobster roll. Something like that. Personally, I think she was a little gassy from a big pot of Boston baked beans.
Actually, she’s probably been full of beans her entire life. And if she keeps messing with Meatloaf, as Pink Floyd said in “The Wall,” she won’t get her pudding.
She is a wonder, that Sarah! But it’s not fault she doesn’t know history well. The lamestream media probably asked her a “gotcha” question!
Just another “pop quiz” she, as a preeminent American political figure, should have been able to ace in her sleep. Speaking of sleep, what would she say if she got one of those infamous 3 AM calls? Or would she turn to the First Dude for an answer? Inquisitive minds want to know.
I suspect she’d hang up on a 3 AM call. If it’s something really important, Paul Revere would ring bells or something.
