So the mystery speaker? Who was it?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

Given the fact I didn't see anything on the news or radio, I doubt it was anyone impressive. And I was too lazy and disinterested to watch the convention itself.


So who was it? Pee Wee Herman? The bloated reanimated rotting corpse of Andrew Breitbart?

[MineralMan]

1. I think it was Rand Paul.

I didn't see him on the schedule for yesterday, but he spoke.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

2. Wow. That is seriously underwhelming. Seriously.

I was hoping for Sarah Palin. I miss her train-wreck style of politics.

[regnaD kciN]

3. I thought the "mystery speaker" was slated for tonight...

...and rumor has it it will be Clint Eastwood.

[greatauntoftriplets]

6. That's what I heard.

Clint Eastwood =

[former-republican]

8. Clint Eastwood is liberal on so many issues why

would they have him?
He supported the bailouts of car plants
Is pro-choice for women

[soleft]

26. He has a film coming out

[Voice for Peace]

7. Cindy Crawford also rumored.

[LibraLiz1973]

22. Oh, well she will draw people.

NOT

[Voice for Peace]

30. I wonder if she will wear a red dress?

I was surprised Anne Romney didn't wink, she had so many
other Palinesque mannerisms.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

34. As a preteen/teen guy in the 1990s, she was all the rage.

Didn't know she was a Republican. Oh well.

[Voice for Peace]

31. Could it possibly be Jesus, or somebody like that?

[morningfog]

4. Like I said, it reeked of desparation to boost viewers.

[LibertyLover]

5. I thought the surprise speaker was on tonight -

some speculation has it that it will be a hologram of Reagan.

[Lucy Goosey]

10. Oh please, please, please let it be Hologram Reagan!

I know it's not happening, but it would be so hilariously awful!

I wonder who would be the first to try to hump HoloReagan's leg or offer him a blow job or whatever?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

13. Hologram Reagan would indeed be spectacular in the most awful sense.

I would enjoy it. I would be horrified by it.

In short, I would be enjorified by it.

But you know what would be even more awesome?

Hologram Reagan on a mother-fucking velociraptor:



Yes. This needs to be done.

[BlueNinja]

19. THANK YOU

for that. Seriously, I haven't laughed like that in awhile.

[Care Acutely]

25. FORGET THIS THREAD.

That image needs it's own internet.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

35. The sad thing is that there will be Republicans who take that picture seriously.

Just like there are some who take Steven Colbert seriously, even with the conscious knowledge that he is a parody.

[LibraLiz1973]

23. I have been silently begging the world to PLEASE let that happen

It would make my fucking year

[Tom Ripley]

9. Martin Bormann

[WI_DEM]

11. The Zombie of Ronald Reagan who tore Reince Priebus' heart out and ate it

then with blood dripping out of his mouth he looked at the convention and said, 'Win one for the Gipper'

[ananda]

12. Could it be Unca Ronnie's holo?

And would it look like this Reagan from 1980 or so?

[ananda]

14. Too bad it couldn't be this prez.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

16. Why would it be? nt

[Ganja Ninja]

15. I think we can rule out Dubya.

That would be a mystery if he were invited to speechify.

[mmonk]

17. Ayn Rand's ghost.

[Tom Ripley]

18. Starring Steve Buscemi in a pageboy wig

[nolabear]

20. Hasn't happened yet. They're talking about it on MSNBC now.

[alliswellinmyworld]

21. The mystery speaker is tonight.

Hopefully Sister Sarah!

[leftynyc]

24. I'm reading online it's Eastwood but

I also saw a rumor mentioning Tim Tebow.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. I'd love it if it were Dick Cheney

but it will probably be someone a little less scary.

Rumor has it it's Eastwood, but I expect more naked pandering from that crowd, so maybe a woman or a black or Latino celebrity.

[OregonBlue]

28. Fox claims they verified that Eastwood has a roundtrip ticket to Tampa today.

[jberryhill]

29. I wonder how they would verify such a thing

[cthulu2016]

32. They have the receipt

<rimshot>

[jberryhill]

33. But, seriously

How would you confirm someone else's travel plans with an airline? That's not public information.

Secondly, why would he be flying commercial anyway?
