Unfettered by push-back from those involved in the show, nor the fact that he is definitely not Coach Taylor, Mitt Romney continues to never ever stop saying the thing from Friday Night Lights as if it is his campaign slogan, and I guess it’s just his now and we all just have to deal with it. Maybe he even deserves it? At a rally in Iowa yesterday, he proved to have a pretty good understanding of what Friday Night Lights is and how to describe it to other humans who have heard of television and maybe even keep a television in their homes, turning it on from time to time. From Politico:
“And I recall a line in a fictional football team show,” he added. “It was called ‘Friday Night Lights,’ you probably didn’t see it. But – you did, alright. She saw it! They had this fictional football team and every time they’d leave the locker room, and they typically were facing long odds, there was a sign up there, it said ‘Clear eyes, Full hearts, Can’t lose.’ And I’m convinced the people of Iowa have very clear eyes about what’s at stake in this election. And I know you have full hearts. And I’m convinced America can’t lose when you help me become the next President of the United States. Thanks you guys – you are the best.”
“You see, there were multiple fictional characters on the team played on screen by actors, and they would play matches with other fictional teams — the outcome of which was merely a work of the minds of the writers and creators — and before each of these matches,” etc. etc. and on and on forever and ever Amen. But for real, “a fictional football team show that you probably didn’t see” IS honestly a very good description of Friday Night Lights, so what are we even talking about. He gets it. ROMNEY FOR QB.

And I recall a line from a blog commenter with a fictional name, now this fictionally named commenter would make a comment or two on Videogum from time to time – Videogum being a blog, which is a kind of website, a website being a thing that only exists virtually so you can’t hold it in your hands like a tangible object – and he would say as his fictional self, not revealing his true identity, “She’s pretty”, and I think you think I’m pretty, and that’s pretty good.
I’m sorry everyone, but I would vote for Romney if he referenced Winwood.
“–A blog being a type of website, where people write their thoughts in it like a diary– a virtual diary you don’t keep under your mattress, but instead on the world wide web- a world wide web diary, or journal is what it is, a ‘bjournal’ or ‘bdiary’ if you will– but that’s what a blog is and that is where this commenter comes to talk about Gummo, which is a fictional movie that he likes– you probably didn’t see it… beep borp”
Holy crap, if that quote didn’t exist and Kelly had to make up that quote, I think that’s what she would’ve written, almost exactly? Like I can’t help but read it in this jokey, intentionally a little bit silly way. HE EXPLAINS EVERY PIECE OF THE QUOTE!
“And I recall a line in a fictional cops trying to stop drug dealers show,” he added. “It was called ‘The Wire,’ you probably didn’t see it.” #RomneyTVGuide

As I always like to say, “You can’t get enough fictional sports quotes in politics.”
“Iowa! Life is a game of inches! Ducks fly together! You’re the best! Goodnight! Adddrriiiaaannn!”
i look forward to Romney’s concession speech.
“Today….I consider myself…..the luckiest man….on the face of the earth….”
“Ease his pain!”
“Get him a body bag! Yeah!”
why is there a romney / ryan banner ad at the top of the page, guys?
So you’ll know who to vote for.
So have you heard anything about that job yet, facetaco?
I’m lving vicariously through your exciting new job possibility. Yes, my life is sucking that much at the moment.
NOTHING! And for various and sundry reasons, I am unable to call them, or contact them in ANY other way besides emailing just the one person!
I think that is a personalized add that is not very good at personalizing, as I have an ad for Carnegie Hall. Which is better than Romney/Ryan, but I am not nor have I ever been in New York, so maybe just a little misdirected.
How do you know? Maybe Sam Quantum Leaped into you and took you to New York for a wild weekend with Al. Did you ever think of that?!
Oh boy.
DON’T BRING IOWA INTO THIS!!!!
Seriously, why can’t they do a cease and desist thing?
I just like the idea that only Iowa truly understands what is a stake in this election, because they all have the magic sunglasses from They Live, and are the only ones to know that President Obama is actually an alien. And Romney is no duh a robot. Roddy Piper is our only hope.
Iowa knows whats up. Those people are GREAT at spotting aliens. Don’t tell Ohio that Romney said this!
You mean Rowdy Roddy Piper? Love that guy!
what the hell is wrong with this guy?
It’s even worse when he tells jokes.
“You see, there really wasn’t a reason that the chicken wanted to cross the road, but it was just that he, OR SHE, could. I like telling jokes. I like them almost as I like chewing solid foods!”
“When I said knock knock before and kept answering banana, it led you to believe I would always answer banana, but the truth is that now I am going to change that answer to orange, because real change is what I will bring to America, to get us off the road to socialism. But when I say orange I don’t really mean orange, it is just a trick of the way the word sounds, so that it sounds like I am about to say Aren’t you glad I didn’t say banana? But that is not what I am about to say, my fellow Americans. I am about to say orange, because this is a joke. Are you ready? This lady in front knows what I mean.”
I can’t stand Romney. How can anyone?
I actually think Romney’s capable of being more articulate than this, but only when he’s being evil. For example, when he said “And I know you have full hearts”, he was probably thinking “full of corndog and bacon grease, you disgusting plebian shitheads!”
Stealing things and showing no remorse is yet another sign of being a psychopath, which I am totally convinced Mitt Romney is.
You say psychopath, but I think you mean sociopath.
Psychopath = Antisocial personality disorder
Sociopath = Lack of Empathy or Conscience
The first has a tendency to violence. The second is the creepy, superficially normal person who plots evil while shaking your hand and smiling.
See mum and dad, my psych degree was not wasted.
Actually, no, there’s not a real difference between the two. Sociopath is just a more friendly term because not all psychopaths are prone to violence… but fundamentally they’re the same thing.
Is this the worst day or the very worst day?
