‘Friday Night Lights’ Creator To Romney: Get Your Own Campaign Slogan

[DonViejo]

Peter Berg, the creator of the TV series "Friday Night Lights," sent Mitt Romney a letter on Friday expressing his displeasure with the Republican presidential candidate for co-opting the show's slogan, "Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose."

"Your politics and campaign are clearly not aligned with the themes we portrayed in our series," Berg wrote to Romney. "The only relevant comparison that I see between your campaign and 'Friday Night Lights' is the character of Buddy Garrity -- who turned his back on American car manufactures selling imported cars from Japan."

4. Time for Willard to hire some writers and composers for his music and slogans

Of course Hank Williams Jr. might have a song or two that Willard could use. And, I'm sure that one of his talented sons could come up with a nice slogan, or two. No need to steal, is there???

5. LOL. Romney is Joe McCoy, but I'll take the Buddy Garrity comparison!

Buddy Garrity had a lot of heart though, unlike Romney or Ryan.

7. Funny!

I almost posted the exact same thing. Buddy DID have a heart, putting him in stark contrast to Mitt and Paul!
