I didn't know John Ratzenberger was such an asshole...
Here I am flipping through the channels and come upon Cavuto interviewing him. He's yakking on about Obama being un-American and all the usual shit, but then he says...

(get this)

He's walking past a newsstand and sees nothing but Obama on the covers of all the magazines so that means it's gonna be a landslide for McCain.

Even Cavuto couldn't let that pass without comment and asked him WTF he's talking about.

Well, Ratzo sez, being as how the media is so liberal, they're obviously covering up and hiding McCain's sure win.

(Maybe he wasn't acting the dumbass on "Cheers."

3. Ever catch his show "Made in America" on the Travel Channel?
He went around the country showcasing products still made in America, like candles and candy etc. :silly:

4. Also has local ads against Franken
So what? He is entitled to his opinion like anyone else. That someone chooses to have him on national TV - they are the idiots.

5. He's a has been
who never really was very much in the first place. Who cares what he thinks? He just proved himself to be just like a lot of other repubs. Kinda dumb.

8. Now, in retrospect, seems like he was typecast in Cheers.
He really *is* an idiot.

10. Well, not many people know that the Ratzenberger clan originally got their start
being douchebags under the Pinoche regime, and if it weren't for the SAG, they'd still have control in that country.

11. Well, at least he was appropriately casted in "Cheers"
and played the part well because it was so similar to his actual personality.
