Title: Wha?
Post by: buffcoat on November 06, 2009, 12:11:02 AM
Actor John Ratzenberger, known partly for his role as Cliff Clavin in the 1980s sitcom "Cheers," slammed the Democratic bill as a form of socialism.

"These are Woodstock Democrats," he said at the rally. "We have to remember where their philosophy comes from. It doesn't come from America. It comes from overseas. It comes from socialism. And socialism is a philosophy of failure."

It doesn't come from America. It comes from overseas. It comes from socialism. And socialism is a philosophy of failure.

This explains why the war in Iraq/Afghanistan was/is/will be a failure. If the troops want to fight so bad, they should pay for their own plane tickets. If we pay for their war, they'll get lazy and won't fight as hard. And if they're unwilling to pay for their own war, then they shouldn't fight it. John Ratzenberger knows all about this sort of thing because he financed Cheers himself; that's why he was so good in it. He does everything for himself and has paid for everything he's ever done/had done for him out of pocket, including his own birth. He created himself out of nothing. HE IS THE TRUEST AMERICAN. BOW DOWN BEFORE HIS HONESTY

1.) George Wendt should punch him in the face.
2.) Guess he's finally "gone postal".
3.) All these guys go postal eventually.
4.) It would be really fun to see George Wendt punch him in the face.

It's only a matter of time until Ratzenberger gets an invitation to appear on "Hardball with Chris Matthews."

Given Raztenberger's recent upsurge in political activity, it's not all that surprising:

(pertinent bit starts at 0:45 and runs for half a minute or so).

And how bout that Victoria Jackson?

Boy, I thought they were scraping the bottom of the barrel with Victoria Jackson and Stephen Baldwin, but then Robert Davi showed up. Has he EVER elicited a reaction other than, "Oh, I've seen that guy in something before."

I'm sure Pixar will be boycotting Ratzenberger before you boycott Pixar.
