Chair and chair alike
Clint Eastwood’s talk — it wasn’t a speech — at the Republican National Convention went over either great, horrible, or okay, depending on who you talk to.
More on the right than on the left liked it. But even Bill Maher liked it, kinda. Didn’t like what Eastwood said, but he liked Eastwood’s approach.
But, I wonder if this will start a trend.
An empty chair to represent Obama.
What other furniture, appliances, or household items might represent others in the Obama administration? How would you represent Joe Biden? Or Hillary Clinton? Or George Soros?
Looking for ideas. Best one gets … HIGH PRAISE!

Tangentially related – one of Dennis Miller’s callers pointed out that Clint’s performance was actually an homage to Bob Newhart’s phone skits, which he was quite famous for, back in the day. Here’s one:

For Biden? Why, a stool, of course.
September 1st, 2012 at 2:08 pm
A stool? Like Paul Mitchell suggested? Or like you use with a cow?

For Biden? a tree stump…for Hillary?…a leisure suit…..for Soros?……Darth Vaders lightsaber

I would say a glass hammer for Obama, and a bag of nothing for Biden.

Biden is easy.
A set of shiny false teeth soaking in a glass of dingy water.

The new Funk and Wagnalls dictionary that has only one word – RACIST!!!!!, will be on the bookshelf. The cords to a broken crock pot and coffee percolator for “Plugs” Biden. A kettle screaming you’re not black enough to a pot.

how about books on a shelf?
hillary – machiavelli’s “the prince” (obviously)
soros – a pile of scrooge mcduck comics
obama – “steal this book”
michelle – the klingon-to-english dictionary
the cabinet – abagnale’s “catch me if you can”
napolitano – “the anarchist cookbook”

An empty refrigerator. Maybe with one “organically produced” egg on the middle shelf.
September 1st, 2012 at 2:59 pm
Michelle – a whistling tea kettle on full boil
Obama – a bag of hammers
September 1st, 2012 at 3:09 pm
Biden – a shop vac that’s stuck on blowing rather than sucking. And, it sucks at blowing!
Hillary – a blender that instantly purees everything you would just like to just mix.

Forget the chair, just have an ass (donkey) standing there!
September 1st, 2012 at 3:57 pm
Obama: the agitator in a washing machine.
Biden: a stopped up toilet; it’s plugged and full of s***.
Hillary: a genetically mutated chicken that has only a left wing.
Soros: a book on Demonology and Satanism so he can communicate with his kindred spirits.

Reid: a bag full of slightly heavily used toilet paper.

Old fashioned chamber pot could easily represent any number of members of the mainstream press.

Biden: The rubber crutch
September 1st, 2012 at 9:25 pm
Bidet for Debbie Wasserman Shultz. Something to sit on for a long time to rinse off crotch rot.

I was going to post something, but this thread is starting to sound too much like the Daily Kos in reverse. Going to move on.

Chris:
Why did you post?
You were going to post but decided to move on.
Only problem was that you posted.
Idiot.

currently:
I took what Chris wrote to mean that he was going to offer some suggestions, but that some of the suggestions were more mean than funny. And, some are. But, some are funny.
Chris:
If the level of the suggestions is lower than that with which you want to associate, maybe offer a funny suggestion of a higher level. Go back to the original, a chair. Start from there and bring the funny!

The stove and the spatula Bill Murray used on PJ Soles in Stripes. And PJ Soles.
