Unlikeliest Marquee Headliner Ever
In downtown Columbus, the marquee of the Ohio Theatre is touting an appearance (performance?) by David Gergen. Someone on the Obama bus is trying to start the rumor that this is a burlesque house. Actually, he was here for this.

KT,

Who is trying to start rumors? -

KT here--
Just fixed it. Thanks, ivb.

Alas, SG, I must keep my source confidential, but that comment was quickly followed by speculation that he had bitten the head off a pigeon. Sleep-deprived humor.

"David Gergen" and "burlesque" should never be that close together in a paragraph. EVER.

Hickory: My unnamed wag replies to you: "This person obviously doesn't know the David Gergen I know..."

What hickoryduck said. I'm feeling a bit queasy now.

KT,
.
I actually literally laughed out loud about the pigeon comment. David Gergen seems to be an odd bird. But he has been pretty much on point through out this whole election season. Of course nobody tops James Carville. He is my all time most favoritist strategist ever! He announced the race was over Sept 15 a couple of hours after John McCain said the fundamentals of our economy are strong and Wall Street had that big sell off. He was the only person willing to make a bold prediction like that and he has stuck to it from that point on. Was there really 60k people at the last rally? -

hickory and jarais,

Lets be honest now. Burlesque houses are not kept in business by the likes of people who resemble Brad Pitt and Will Smith -

I've seen that; he does CATS from start to finish. Absolutely MAGIGAL!

"This person obviously doesn't know the David Gergen I know..."
LMFAO. Oh man, I wish everyone on the road with the candidates gave us these little nuggets. It certainly helps us understand the more, ehrm, interesting parts of the process...

pourme,
I forget which thread it's in, but you totally owe me a new keyboard for that Ronald Reagan on a unicorn remark. Diet coke everywhere. -

David Gergen takes it all off, bipartisan style.
Watch him strip out of a Republican cloth coat, and into your heart, as he sings, dances, and shakes his thang.

@jarais - I am stir-crazy: housebound monitoring a teenager curfew break grounding. He's blamed it on everything but the town hall debates so far.

C-SPAN must be in town...

By the way, thanks for all you Swamplanders blogging through the weekend. Getting stuck with a single mega-post on the weekend before the Day of Days would have been maddening.

David Gergen needs to bring back vaudeville from the dead. How is his Aztec Tomb trick? (David Geffen, on the other hand ...)

We had Joe Klein around the corner at the 92nd Street Y. Missed it though.

Illusion, Aaron. A trick is something a wh*re does for money.

I've enjoyed Gergen this campaign season - he seems to have quite a sense of humor and hasn't been able to control his incredulity at the various nonsense spouted by the McCain campaign.
*
Not sure I'd want to see him twirling tassels off his nipples though. -

Whatever you do, don't call what David Gergen does "magic" to his face. He punched me in my face at Carnegie's Deli one time for saying that. He considers himself an "illusionist."
-

KT! I was at the Columbus rally today. I looked for you, but I suspect you had better seats than I did.
-
23
I do wish Gergen would clear his throat.
-
24
This may be the FUNNIEST video this campaign season. Or maybe I just have a weird sense of humor.

Heh, his groupies wish it was burlesque:
