Trumped!

I hope Fox News gives Trump the chance to step in the ring with their Obama impersonator: http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/201104280046

How long until Trump takes credit for OBL's death?

At one point, he compared his opposition to the legalization of same-sex marriage to his reluctance to use a new kind of putter.

“It’s like in golf,” he said. “A lot of people — I don’t want this to sound trivial — but a lot of people are switching to these really long putters, very unattractive,” said Mr. Trump, a Republican. “It’s weird. You see these great players with these really long putters, because they can’t sink three-footers anymore. And, I hate it. I am a traditionalist. I have so many fabulous friends who happen to be gay, but I am a traditionalist.”

He said that, should he run, he would offer himself as a “conservative with a big heart.”

[quote ]The obscenities in his Vegas speech drew criticism: Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, for example, said on Sunday that such language was not presidential. Mr. Trump said he had catered the speech to the largely working- and middle-class audience.
“It was a great crowd and great people,” he said. “But it was also a crowd that loves that kind of emphasis.

“Would I do it in a different location, would I do it in front of a different crowd, even a different crowd in Las Vegas? Uh, no.”

He said he “rarely” curses. But minutes later, he used a profanity to describe a political consultant who had offended him.[/quote]

Hosting a hardhat show, Tom seems to do OK without cursing. I find that the ways around having to use curse words that S&W employ are actually much funnier than if they were just using curse words.

Come on, everyone knows those dumb working-class and middle-class people can't understand what's being said to them unless it's liberally seasoned with every variation of the word "fuck."

People don't realize this is all Trump's sense of humor.  Come on, you really think he expects to win anything with this extended Tony Soprano impression?

Anyone see his show on the Golf Channel?  "Donald J. Trump's Fabulous World of Golf"

He's less of a caricature and the situations aren't cooked, so the show is a bit boring.

I think he sees himself as Winston Churchill more than Tony Soprano.  That thrust-out lower lip is a dead giveaway.

"Madame, I may be drunk. But in the morning, I shall be sober, while Rosie O’Donnell will still be disgusting, both inside and out. You take a look at her, she’s a slob. She talks like a truck driver. I'll probably sue her."

That was a quote from MLK, by the way. My apologies to his family for not including proper attribution.

"I am the least racist person there is," asserted the potential presidential contender. "And I think most people who know me would tell you that. I am the least racist, I’ve had great relationships."

Trump pointed to his "Celebrity Apprentice" reality show to make his case.

"In fact, Randal Pinkett won as you know on 'The Apprentice' a little while ago, a couple of years ago," he said. "And Randall’s been outstanding in every way. So I am the least racist person."

The new issue of Rolling Stone has a feature article on Trump (http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/news/donald-trump-lets-his-hair-down-20110511?print=true), in which DJT spills the beans on a subject everyone's been dying to know about -- his early-morning routine:

For one thing, he goes to bed late, gets up early, usually wearing only "the undies," as he calls them, never "the formality" of pajamas, brushes his teeth first, takes a leak second, and only then steps into the shower, his hand reaching out through the steam to grab the shampoo and lather up that hair of his that has received so much attention over the years. How does he do it?

He steeples his fingers, purses his lips and launches right into it like it was some kind of major policy issue. "OK, what I do is, wash it with Head and Shoulders. I don't dry it, though. I let it dry by itself. It takes about an hour. Then I read papers and things. This morning I read in the New York Post about Jerry Seinfeld backing out of his commitment to do a benefit for my son Eric's charity. I've never been a big fan of Jerry Seinfeld — never dug him, in the true sense — but when I did The Marriage Ref, which was his show and a total disaster, I did him a big favor. Then he did this. It's a disgrace." He goes on, "I also watch TV. I love Fox, I like Morning Joe, I like that the Today show did a beautiful piece on me yesterday — I mean, relatively speaking. OK, so I've done all that. I then comb my hair. Yes, I do use a comb." He pauses, frowning, casting his mind back to capture the details of the event. "Do I comb it forward? No, I don't comb it forward." He pushes the leading edge of the flying wing of his hair back, to show where the hairline is. "I actually don't have a bad hairline. When you think about it, it's not bad. I mean, I get a lot of credit for comb-overs. But it's not really a comb-over. It's sort of a little bit forward and back. I've combed it the same way for years. Same thing, every time."
