The Romney Campaign: Like Watching the Hindenburg Crash into the Titanic

[K Gardner]

Every. Single. Day.

That is all.

1. Excellent

[K Gardner]

2. Well, I hated to use that analogy, because they were both horrible tragedies, but GOOD GRIEF...

It's like watching the same car crash over and over..

6. Off the shores of Krakatoa

7. If the Hindenburg had crashed into the iceberg

It would have blown it up or melted it and the Titanic could have been saved. Maybe that metaphor will still work for the campaign. Ryan will throw the flaming gas bag that is Romney into the iceberg so that Ryan can sail on and run again.

8. You've extrapolated the disaster, LOL !

9. The Great Ship Romney

It was sad, so sad,
It was sad, so sad,
It was sad when the great ship went down (to bottom of the....)

10. Were you there when the Hindenburg went down?

A nice 'gospel-ish' rendition of the disaster. From Patricia Hardin and Tom Russell in the early days. I remember hearing them perform this at the Coffee House in the Student Union at Stanford back in .... oh, 1976 or 77.

We're sorry Mr. Hitler, but the helium was ours,
Though it didn't save the Akron, or the Daughter of the Stars
Now the airplane rules the skyway, in the grey polluted wind
There are those who say the day will come when the zeppelin flies again.

Maybe a new version of the song will be popular this December:

We're sorry Mr. Romney, but the electorate was ours,
Though it didn't help John Kerry or correct the Gore election flaws.
So the Democrats still run the country with Obama at the helm
We say YES to those who say the middle class will rise again.

11. The Hindenburg and Titanic were both avoidable tragedies

The Rmoney campaign is pure comedy gold.

Almost as good as something written by Al Franken back in the early (good) years of SNL.

12. The only question will be if Ryan lets Romney into the lifeboat or pushes him under with

the oar.
