Rick Moranis: Debate Time (Again) at the Buffet
by PubliusFrom Bloomberg News:
Welcome to the YouNews/Mama Belle’s Quality Country Inn All You Can Eat Buffet Republican Primary Debate. From the Belle Vue Room, Route 2, Plainfield, U.S.A. Your moderator is Sherm Willinson, YouNews Web designer and blogger and Mama Belle’s food and beverage manager.
SHERM: Gentlemen, let’s begin the debate. You know the rules. See what you can get away with. We’ve asked the audience to stay silent throughout the debate, except when Speaker Gingrich has the floor. Governor Romney, let’s begin with you. What did you think of the buffet?
MITT ROMNEY: I loved it, Sherm. And so did my beautiful wife, our five sons and five daughters-in-law and our 165 grandkids and their spouses. You know, this is breakfast in America. And America is an All You Can Eat Buffet, or rather, should be. This president wants us all to eat gruel — the very same gruel. And he wants to take the Mama Belle’s fine maple- sweetened turkey off my plate and give it to you. Now I’m happy to share it with you, Sherm, and as you saw on my tax returns I share a lot of my good fortune, which I’m not ashamed of, with the many less fortunate among us. And I’ll continue to do that and more, which is why it’s imperative that we keep charitable contributions deductible. But, Sherm, not every American can afford to participate in a full buffet. Now the speaker, I noticed, went up to the buffet the first time with a small plate, suggesting he might just participate in a more modest, less costly option of cold cereal and fruit. Well, sure enough, he came back with the same small plate and helped himself to the more expensive hot service area. That’s a violation of ethics. I don’t mislead people, Sherm. I don’t promise one thing and then do another. That’s corruption and fraud, and that leads to far worse things that are dangerous to our country. I don’t do that. The speaker does.

Reuters asked this musician "are you the only rock musician the GOP could find?" check out the only rocker to "warm up" crowds for every GOP hopeful. http://www.chrishollymusic.com
"You know, this is breakfast in America. And America is an All You Can Eat Buffet, or rather, should be. "
With almost 50 million people on food stamps, it is kinda hard to argue with that.
Latinos will and are becoming conservative. They understand that they are being used as "use idiots" by the Party of Food Stamps. Barack………………one term. You're gone!

Many are afraid of the wrath of those oh-so tolerant progressives that dominate the media and medium.
Their career is important to them – who knew?
Someone needs to play a song for Mitt.
….While so many are willing to be "fluffers" for Obumbler…..go figure
Taps?
LOL!

The problem of newt is not his sin, but the republican party itself using morality as a weapon To polarize.
It is the hypocrisy.
Just as BO uses fairness as a weapon to polarize.
It to is hypocrisy.
Fair and moral ….these two words have become interchangeable weapons to cause polarization and solely for power.
Both parties are seeking victory at any cost and that final price might be our freedom.
The buffet should have included crow.
Hey, is that Gary Busey in the lower right hand corner of the picture?
Maybe you should ask why so many of the narcissist set are so enamored by some lawyer from Chicago.
Wait, Rick Moranis now writes for Bloomberg? He of the legendary SCTV? and Ghostbusters?, and Honey, I….? Who knew!
(kidding)
Isn't that William Shatner near the upper right, and whats on the finger that the dude is sniffing?
Sure looks like the Cap'n. I'll leave the sniffing investigation to our official Inhaler.
That ain't Gary Busey that is his mother!
What old people don't drink anything?
And just what does that have to do with anything? God are you people both shallow and stupid.
Rick Moranis? The guy with glasses from Ghostbusters? Article says he's a writer in NYC, is this the same guy? (Career switch)?
Thats what I thought, and what I really want to know is"Hey Ghostbusters, who does your taxes?"
"some lawyer from Chicago"
has he ever ACTUALLY tried a case in court?
Uh, anybody else see the lady in the lower right corner with the majorly angry look on her face? Is she just mad, or thinking REALLY hard about something? Or maybe her pizza doesn't taste right? Something's up with her and I wanna know what it is!
This Latina has known that her entire life – and that's why she's been a conservative.
You go girl (Latina). Latinos have had it very hard in this country and they are the hardest working. We love you all………..from the Tea Party (TaterSalad is one of them). By doing and staying on government run entitlement programs ensures everyone the same outcome…………poverty……i.e…..Cuba. There has to be winners and losers to make this work and Obama wants all………..the same!
I don't know if it is him. Moranis is rather famous for having quit the industry years ago. He's been writing and performing country music for the few years. It seems odd that he's back writing op-eds, so I'm not sure if it's a coincidental name or not.
