8. I know someone who was part of the security at the event. Meat Loaf was snockered.

He was saying all kinds of incoherent stuff before his "performance" at the Romney rally, according to my source.

Makes you wonder if his endorsement of Romney wasn't alcohol-induced, too.

I used to like Meatloaf, not one of my top ten or anything, but anyways...this was just an absolute BOMB of nucular proportions.

I am fighting them as we speak. This was a public event, with a public figure who is running for President. That makes it public domain. But his Red Pony Tours outfit has a pull down order on YouTube on this. Bogus, but they pull the video and you have to prove that it is in the public domain. They give these a$$es the benefit of the doubt.

6. he says he endorsed Romney

because he is a warmongering hawk.
He stated concerns about "storm clouds over" Russia, Middle East, Asia, Europe (?), China.

Yet, when Meatloaf had his chance during Vietnam, he purposely gained 68 pounds in 4 weeks to avoid being drafted, then threw his second draft notice in the trash....and brags about it. But he is just fine sending our kids to.....invade Russia?

7. What's sad is that Romney has to piggyback off guys like this to get respectable crowds.

Notice that at nearly every Romney event, someone like Meatloaf or Kid Rock shows up. Mitt's crowds would be in the hundreds if they were not there. Of course, he has to photoshop his crowds even as it is.
