walter mondale – Moe Lane

#rsrh HAHAHAOh, never mind.

I was laughing hysterically at the title of this article – “Mondale on Obama, and how he could’ve beat Reagan” – because the very idea that President Obama could have had the chops to knock down the Gipper is hysterical. Then I actually read the article, and it was actually all about how Mondale thinks that he could have knocked down the Gipper. So I stopped laughing.

Why? Because Walter Mondale is 82 years old. When I am 82, if I am saying things like this it is my fond hope that others will show me the same forbearance that I am showing now.

#rsrh What’s worse than having Walter Mondale…

…give you political advice?

Walter Mondale being right.

“He uses these idiot boards to read speeches in television, and I think he loses the connection that he needs emotionally with American voters,” Mondale said in an interview set to air this evening on CNN’s The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer, according to a transcript from the network.

But that’s not the best part! The best part is Ben Smith’s update, where ‘a source’ (that’s Beltway for ‘a White House official wanting a little payback for being lectured by Walter Mondale’) wanted to make sure that people knew that Mondale would be using his own idiot board at a rally tomorrow. Normally I’d assume that it was Rahm Emanuel who ‘leaked’ that – it’s ineffectual and petty, after all – but Rahm’s gone off to the Emerald City. Something about getting a heart*…

Via Hot Air.
