A week after his last money plea, Obama asks everyone for another $5.
To which I say, fuck that. Howsabout sending some of that scratch my way, instead?
Anyway, my guess is O! saw last night’s Nielson numbers and is itching to turn his infomercial into a weekly sit-com — though if you ask me, to make it work he needs to introduce at least one wacky neighbor, a starry-eyed secretary who is constantly dressing inappropriately, a pair of contentious gay friends (who will never, ever agree on whether or not he’s wearing the proper tie), and a young, street smart Chicano mechanic who reads a lot of Howard Zinn and is constantly giving an overwhelmed Obama ideas for how to run the country.
Oh. And he should really try to cast the chick who played Willona on “Good Times” to take the role of Michelle’s ballbusting, disapproving mother.
Tentative title: “Chico is The Man.”
Not that I’m married to it, of course.
And his signature catchphrase shall, of course, be “I’m comin’, Weezie!“. His irascible neighbor will be heard to utter “Whatchoo talkin’ about, Webster?”
We’ve come a long way since we were supposed to gaze intently on a gawky aging Geena Davis and pecker up for Hillary I think.
Wouldn’t that be “ChicO! is The Man.â€Â?
Right here, hf, is what I’m talking about. I just got no sitcom foundation to pull from in order to unnerstan the “what’sat? Weezie? Chico?”. My wasted yout’. Dammnit.
I think Jm J Bullock has been looking for a vehicle.
It all sounds great, but let me add a wrinkle:
The whacky “neighbor” is Ahmadinajead, played by Don Johnson (cuts the wardrobe expense) and whenever he comes over he always has something that looks like a missile in his pocket. And Michelle (played by David Allen Grier) says her pat line, “Hey Mookie, is that a missile in your pocket or are you just thinking about bombing Israel?” *laughtrack*
He needs to cast the woman who played Thelma on “Good Times”. That I would watch. She’s still quite hittable.
the starry-eyed secretary should be played by Vera Baker; they’ll just have to bring her back from Martinique.
I think the extra cash is so he can do it on film. You know, get the critics on board, no laugh track…really cutting edge stuff.
“It’s O!ways Sportsnight in the Office.”
Ask not what you can do for your country.
That was a sweet one, al.
I can hear him hatin’ on the Jews tonight … Oh Lord …
Like liberalism, I’ve outgrown sitcoms. Now, if O! wants to venture into the SciFi genre … I’d tune in. Picture it: O!, Pelosi, Reed and George Soros lost/stranded on a mysterious island …
I think it’s got potential.
well-kiss my grits!

feets don’t fail me now!
I dunno…
I’ve heard that Soros is tired of buying all of those anonymous Visa gift cards that the ACORN folks are using to give funds to O!, in whatever name happens to strike them, so that there is at least the appearance of conforming with FEC rules and the ethics that are their basis…
You gotta at least, you know, look like you’re tryin‘…
I don’t think a sitcom even counts as a sitcom unless it’s a CBS sitcom. You want you can borrow my King of Queens dvds. Oh great now I’ve got that goofy grin on my face just thinking of the merriment.
Ok, I got another one. The Obamabots rise up to destroy all the oppressor humans, who are forced to search out the heavens for a new place to live. Hidden among the survivors are those traitor Republicans who voted for O!
CBS moved to channel 62 in my area. If I want to go up into those numbers, I’d just watch History channel or something.
I stopped watching sitcoms (looking it up) in the late 90’s.
King of Queens … is that the one where the overweight, but love-able, goof is married to a drop-dead gorgeous gal?
Or, is that every sitcom that’s been made in the last ten years.
(Honestly, I don’t know – it just seems every sitcom I’ve seen advertised had that set-up.)
Woldn’t Obama have to gain, like 75 lbs or something to be on a sitcom?
Aren’t all sitcom men fat with way too smoking hot wives?
I thought King of Queens was that show on the Bravo Channel where male fashion designers compete for the acceptance of magazine people.
That’s what I’m saying Techie!
Not enough stupid pun in that title to catch an exec’s ear.
Barry Legal.
Make the Zinn-reading Mexican the janitor. On lawyer shows, the illegal piss-mopper is always a secret professor or some shit.
Writes itself.
(This is, like, the special episode. The rest are about farting in court.)
The Shield is a pretty good show. Probably a lifestyle profile of half the cops in Chicago and O!’s daliance as state legislature.
“I’m comin’, Weezie!“
Oh man, if His Majesty oozes into office, this would make a perfect cat-call at his public appearances!
Messiahs do not like to be mocked, and a “mock” like this would just drive him up the f***ing wall.
I’m sure there are good shows out there. I just don’t watch ’em. Not a tv snob, I LURV tv. I just have too many children and too many books I need to read.
Don’t forget the Grumpy Old White Guy. All that Social Justicin’ tension needs a blow-off.
When you get right to the edge of the tip in a scam, sometimes it is necessary to check the mark one more time, just to make sure he’s ready to give up the goods.
Obama’s getting ready to take what little choice or hope America has left. He’s doing his “check” by asking folks to GIVE… the last time they will have any say in the matter.
I bet he’s got his own DVD of “The Sting” (Director’s Cut, Daley Script, William Ayers Productions) tucked behind his Communist Manifesto…
You can hate on it all you want but those liberal illuminati know what there are doing when it comes to the media and hitting the people where they are, at the TV. My think is the money. I heard he spent like 11 millions dollars all together on this thing. SERIOUSLY!!! If he has that kind of money for a TV spot he surely doesn’t need my 5 bucks.
