Uh. What the hell? That was just fucking weird.
The Gin Blossoms are one of my favorite 90s bands.
His nose. I couldn't stop looking at the twin shiny spots on it. Doesn't anyone do hair and makeup before making digital ads? Is that an alkie nose?
He could not sell a free lunch to a teacher (that's an easy sell, btw). He radiates insincerity and untrustworthiness. Something about the eyes not focusing together, the inappropriate grin, or having to constantly re-align his posture. Blehh.
I think Pseudo's got it. I think he was drunk! Or is it possible he's been visiting his friendly neighborhood cannabis store while on holiday from Congress?
It sure looks like he's been sneaking from the cooking sherry.
Wow. When a family member shows up like this at Thanksgiving you check them into rehab.
He makes Lamborn look good. And another Doug — Dealin Doug!
It looks like a practice run with a new script that was never intended for release. I was going to suggest it was leaked out but it looks like it is on his campaign channel. Maybe. The Clintonesque biting of the lip is hilarious as an impression, but the whole thing is a train wreck.
I am up for the "rehearsal from a teleprompter" explanation. How else does an incumbent of multiple terms with years of dialing for dollars become so hesitant in making his pitch?
I'd probably add he doesn't seem to have the energy of some of his other clips. And the production values here are pretty bad, ranging from the lack of makeup showing the shine of the lights on his nose to the voice quality.
But is it anything more? I don't think so — check out another video from years ago, still up on the Coffman for Congress YouTube …
Coffman for Congress, Published on Aug 17, 2010
Is it a new rule that if you are going to run as a conservative you have to speak badly, off a bad script or is that just a Colorado thing?
Will Ambien be putting out a denial?
The 6th CD GOP had their chance with Powerful Pear but decided to stay with Shorter Coffman. Que sera, sera…..
It’s been almost 24 hours and our resident navel gazer hasn’t waded in to this partisan hell hole with his voice of reason. What’s up, Moddy?
I can do Moddy (if you miss him). :
I do kinda miss the little feller…
Our favorite potted plant is weak on both spelling and vocabulary, Mike. He read the discussion of Samantha Bee and mistook the word "feckless"for "fuckless." He was quite offended by our discussing his social life at such length
I didn't think it was that bad. He looked a little unsure but hit all the triumphant 'I'm a victim' points. The thing is, this guy is hard to dislodge and he knows it.
I agree. It was one long take of him reading the teleprompter.
Much to do about nothing…..I mean the video.
Coffman: Note to self — Don’t let your staff record practicing your W.C. Fields impressions while reading your campaign promos from a teleprompter.
But that went up on the Coffman for Congress YouTube channel, and it likely was sent to ColPols by someone who actually got the email fundraising pitch. It wasn't just a practice — it is "authentic."
The joke was about W.C. Fields, who was notorious for…, oh, nevermind. 😉
No hard feelings, eh, Pear?
No hard feelings from whom? Me—no, Coffman—no, elite establishment swamp creatures—yes. Group think is not easily challenged when you are in a bubble. Not unexpected, it will take time.
