Republicans can't act!

[ElectroPrincess]

I couldn't continue to watch but CNN is having a "Barney Special" on featuring all the cabinet republicans plus Andy Card, KKKarl Rove and, oh yeah! = Lynn Cheney.

Perhaps it's because I'm biased and not ashamed to be a Democrat, but I think Barney is the only thing holding up the show. Even with his cute mug mixed in, I couldn't hang till the end.

Anyone else show these shameful hams yuck it up with poor Barney?

Free Barney! His eyes say "I'm a Democrat, save me!" LOL

1. Too Funny!

2. Even Republican actors can't act

They usually just act as themselves. Arnold Schwazenegger is fine as long as he's an unfeeling action hero. Otherwise he's awful. Ever noticed any particular diversity in Charlton Heston's roles. He's good at being strong and angry, whether he's playing Moses or with a bunch of apes, but he's still pretty much a one note actor. Tom Selleck is a little better, but his roles are still pretty much "macho but sensitive guy". Bo Derek - we won't even go there. Now we have Ron Silver, who basically plays "tough, angry Jewish guy".

In order to be a good actor you have to have EMPATHY. You have to be able to feel what others are feeling. If you have empathy, how can you be a Republican?

3. Republicans can't do much imo

They're sort of good at lying, cheating, and stealing but only when nobody is looking their way.

If we had a real news media in the U.S. the Republicans wouldn't even be able to do that.

Look at what happened to Bernie Kerik when somebody lost the memo and accidentally reported on his real record.

4. I found this TRAIN WRECK video ...

Here's the URL that has the video (can choose either Windows Media or Real Player Formats)

Barney Cam II: Barney Reloaded <gag reflex intact>

Let me tell ya up front, this is almost as primo BAD B rated performances as a Democrat can "beg for".

Get your Democratic buddies to watch with you and "have great fun" trashing their *horrible* acting performance. Yah!

Brings even more meaning to the tired old cliche: "Don't quit your day job!" LOL

[AlCzervik]

5. If it's anything like last years i'm sure it's unwatchable

[ElectroPrincess]

6. Au Contraire!

It is like the absolute WORST B rated movie you've ever seen. However, I would encourage all Democrats to see it because they SUCK so bad ... yes BaaaaaaaD, that these arrogant *bozos* are revealed for who they are ... shallow and pathetic underbelly of acting.

Damn! It's hilarious stuff in it's absurdity. Barney is the ONLY professional in the entire movie ... scene after scene of stumbling through lines and not even looking at the poor damn dog who is REALLY the star of the show.

7. wasn't Jimmy Stewart a Rethug?

check the classic films forum. They had a whole thread about this.

[ElectroPrincess]

9. True, however he was best friends with a highly respected

Democrat, Henry Fonda. I think Stewart is one of those guys who sold out to the republicans later in his career.

But yeah, he was. Thank goodness Jimmy isn't alive or hold public office otherwise he'd also be tagged to hold up the *bozos*!

DAMN! They suck! LOL

Poor Barney boy will now be upstaged by some snot nosed puppy whose name is <gag> Miss Beazley. Wasn't that a child's doll in a 60's comedy series?

I'll take ya Barney boy and you can "play" as often and as long as you want. ;)

[stanwyck]

8. One exception

is Robert Duvall. The only conservative who can act. Oh, unless you count Drew Carey or whathername from 90210. And nobody does.
Meanwhile, on our side...Meryl, Dustin, Robert, Jeff Bridges, Dreyfuss, Tim and Susan, just too many to name.
It's called frame of reference. If yours is big, you're liberal. If yours is small, you're conservative.
It affects every aspect of your life.
Live large.

[ElectroPrincess]

11. That's a good way to view this ... Oh! I stand corrected

FORGIVE ME FOLKS - the video link URL I sent you was last years video.

This is just too sick and silly BUT what CNN showed us earlier is known as a *teaser* of the OH ahh ... soon to be released sequel of this swill: Barney Cam II: Barney Reloaded SEQUEL?

It doesn't get anymore "bottom feeding" than this ... oh yeah, this one sucks more than the first two put together. Yikes!

excerpt:
What passes for a plot goes like this: Barney is charged with decorating the White House for Christmas, and when he decides to play instead, is gently scolded by the grownups. "I know you've been out here a long time, because you've got snow everywhere," the president says in one scene. "You've got snow here on your leg--I mean, you need to be working and all you want to do is play ball, is all you want to do."

Orr said the highly anticipated but still-untitled sequel to "Barney Reloaded" is still in the planning stages. Complicating the production schedule is the expected arrival in the next few weeks of a new canine star: Miss Beazley. She will succeed Spot, an English springer spaniel who died in February.

10. That's why they all hate Hollywood

They hate hollywood for their talent.

[Crankie Avalon]

12. Well, they'd probably say the reason they can't act...

...is because they are "too real." Yeppers, just ordinary folks who say what they mean and mean what they say...and all that other faux-folksy crap.

In other words, they're excellent at acting like they don't act, lie, cheat, and steal every moment of their accursed lives.

[ElectroPrincess]

16. Oh so true, and even their pets have to have esteemed

pedigrees. Oh man, if you are into K9s you'd see the braggarts for what they are, touting Miss Beezley's pedigree.

I've grown up among at least a dozen K9s of many breeds having lived in rural areas in my youth.

My BEST behaved K9 out of many AKC and obedience registered, is little Miss Taro (pictured below) who's a certified Therapy Dog. I could have never asked for a more sweet tempered dog than her. We go to elder day care centers and the local hospital. I like to take her to see the infirm and elderly rather than children per se because she is so calm and gentle.

Oh! I digress. <blush> My point is that even a K9's pedigree does not vouch for the character and temperament being "above" mixed breeds (lovable and intelligent MUTTS) such as my beloved Taro.

13. I love you, You love me

we're a happy family

I'd rather see a Wiggles special in the White House

[UdoKier]

15. It's Barney the Dog.

not the fake dinosaur.

[UdoKier]

14. Oh, they can act.

Just listen to them when they say their reform is about "saving Social Security". They know it's about DESTROYING it. And when they act all cheesy and bad in these "comical" videos, it is a deliberate attempt to show what "regular" people they are, just like you and me.

If they wanted to, they could probably out-act Meryl Streep.

[ElectroPrincess]

17. You're right there ole' boy ... if there were clear bennies

like increased money and power involved, we probably would see a five star performance. Excellent point. With little motivation, why bother ... good will? smood will! :P

On edit: if you're not a boy ... oops! Dear, not-ole' gal?
