PoliticsNation with Al Sharpton

Pres. Obama's got the likes of Katy Perry and Bruce Springsteen in his camp, and now Romney has Meatloaf.

Although from the look of this picture, Mitt's not so comfortable with the "out-there" singing style of his newest supporter.

What do you think?

In one of those big movie theaters that were converted into concert venues (just a little ways north of NYC).

His politics suck, but that was a good show.

and just 18 at the time(a summer job for me). His daughters played on his team. He was a very nice guy..the kids all liked him.....and he did not yell at the umps like some of the other asshats who coached in that league. Again, politics aside....I have good memories of him....and he could sing back in the day too.

Meatloaf endorses Romney. Also he's apparently totally insane and something about the Cold War and storms. #mittloaf http://t.co/n0l0qqOe

I traded a few Tweets with him during the DNC coverage. He just pulls these smart-assed nuggets out of the air. DRY humor, not "ha-ha funny."

Seriously, I think Meat's burger has slipped off his bun a little. His endorsement was just plain strange, and from what I saw on Celebrity Apprentice (don't ask) he is right at the edge of a breakdown. So let him caterwaul and I'll remember when he was a big old character who did some fine bombastic Rock and Roll. From a few years back:

as he did during Celebrity Apprentice. Meat knows he's a has-been and is hoping for some Trump leftovers still.

He sucked up to him on the show. Had some kind of emotional breakdown over Gray Busey that was kind of funny. Yeah Trump is behind the parade of loser musicians without a doubt!

He made Romney look even more awkward than usual, the performance was stunningly bad, those guys looked drunk or high, and we've had something to laugh at all day long!

I swear, its almost like they were trying to sabotage Romney's campaign. Maybe they're really Democrats working undercover.

I'd feel sorry for him. He just doesn't look like he's comfortable in his own skin.

The only thing that would suck more than being Romney is having him as the president.

and Romney won't disavow ANY supporter. There isn't any principle the man won't compromise to win.

I am lovin' it as well. With less than two weeks to go, I hope there will be a few more "entertaining" celebrities.
