Mitt Romney's hilariously uncomfortable "America the Beautiful" moment. Romney's policies are so destructive they even broke Meatloaf's voice.

The pain starts around the 1:24 mark in the video.

Oh God, the humanity!

Now if you will excuse me I have to go set fire to my "Bat Out of Hell" album.

    Fucking dying over here! That was deliciously hideous! I'm a professional composer/musician and that "rendition" of America the Beautiful was horrendous beyond all belief but what really made my fillings ache was Romney's reaction, or lack thereof. Makes me think this was a practical joke played on the Willard.

      My condolences to your trained ears. Hope they recover quickly.

      I agree that at least some of the "singers" were in on the joke. Amazing lack of reaction from the audience, though. Maybe just numb.

    I haven't a clue who the singing participants were and I have no interest in knowing. First of all, singing "America the Beautiful" the way they did was an insult to all of us and to the country and, secondly, it had such obvious racist overtones that I wanted to scream. What is wrong with this country?

    Meatloaf said that he was endorsing Romney because of his position claiming that Russia is our biggest geopolitical foe. That must be a joke, right? The singing was pretty bad, too. With an endorsement like that-- and Sununu-- Romney is really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

  17. I really wish he'd stop singing America the Beautiful. He is just ruining that song.

    If he wants to sing a patriotic song, he should stick with the national anthem, which few can sing well. At least then we expect it to suck.

    So, on a day when the Obama campaign finnally had to acknowledge (according to the NYT) it's not 2008 any more and instead of having an invantage among voters D +9, the real number is R +3--a 12-pt swing to Romney, the best you Goober's have is Romney looking uncomfortable when Meat Loaf sang?

    I suppose that's about the best thing that happened today. There were no bombshells in Alred's successful petiton to have divorce records leaked. As an attorney I could have predicted that when Romney petitioned the judge to
    decide the matter quickly rather than in attempting to shoot for a continuance.

    In other news, Petreaus through Obama under the bus, yesterday the NYT was already pinpointing Clinton as the scapegoat should Obama lose, which you know just thrills Bill.

    And about that shift. There were 130,000,000 votes cast in 2008. Obama pocketed 70,000,000 of them because of his edge with women which has disappeared with his base. If--and this is a HUGE if--turnout will be the same the new numbers mean Romney can be looking at 3.9 million voters McCain couldn't real in and which makes up a large part of the 10,000,000 votes McCain lost by. Add another few percent for Romney leading with men by five and that's another 6,700,000 votes going to Romney that McCain couldn't get because among men it was D + 1. Then there's women whcih break evenly and since 54,000,000 of them voted in 2004 and Obama had a 13-pt. advantage which is gone, you might want to think about giving the general quarters alarm to put your women in children in lifeboats. The unsinkable S.S. Barack is taking on water.

    But at least you can still whoop it up about Meatloaf and that knee slapper of a picture that shows Romney wearing a dunce cap.

    Did I mention nationally Obama is no down 19 with independents?

      Read the transcript of Romney's testimony. It's 430 pages long, but I read it in one evening. Of course if your reading comprehension is as bad as your grammar, there's no point in your plodding your way through, because the nuance of Romney's deception will be completely over your head.

      At this point four years ago, the GOP was saying that McCain was going to win PA because one poll showed the gap narrowing. In reality, Obama won by ten points and it was such a blow-out that it was called about thirty seconds after the polls closed. A little perspective.

    Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman's shitty rock and roll songs were Bruce Springsteen inspired dreck without the tough poetry and great music and played with bombastic gusto.

  34. Holy fuckballs! That was seriously painful! Mittens looked like he couldn't get away fast enough. Ummmmm, are these supposed to be the epitome of modern US crooners?

    Side note. Meatloaf love Oz. He and his current band performed last year (or the year b4, can't remember) at the NRL Grand Final and were well received by the crowd. Their platform was actually in the stands so fans could interact with them. It was a good show and he appeared a helluva lot more sober then than he did for Mittens. But he really did look like he was a walking heart attack waiting to happen.

    Don't these "rockers" even realize that if the GOoPers had their way that they'd be banned, penniless and in jail? Nugent should be!

    Meatloaf also loves Adelaide. And as a transplant to Adelaide, I feel I should apologize for that. And the fact that it's Rupert Murdoch's hometown makes me feel sad too, also.

    But at least we've got Julia Gillard. The living-in-sin with her former hairdresser, atheist PM of Oz who still can't wrap her head around the idea of gay marriage due to her catholic upbringing. Mostly plus for her, but one big ole minus.
