Looking A Giff Horse In The Mouth
January 8, 2008 at 4:51 pm
Here at Extreme Mortman, we rarely shy away from free content.
So when a loyal fan of the two Howards — Mortman and Cosell — saw the below post (on the lost opportunity for there to be a Sen. Cosell) and sent over a hugely hilarious impression of Cosell, we fired up the ole copy and paste machine and let ‘er rip. After all, no telling where else they might have shopped it — perhaps, even, for pay.
So tet’s go right to the broadcast booth and our own yellow-jacketed Howard Cosell. Howard?
Giff, the eyes of the country are on the Granite State tonight, and you are looking live at the Manchester Holiday Inn. Balmy temperatures are boosting a big turnout, the Old Man in the Mountain was up late last night casting his vote in Dixville Notch. Could this be the year a handsome young first term Senator from the Land of Lincoln – whose foreign policy credentials are as questionable as Reggie Jackson’s – can overtake the vaunted Vince Lombardi-like Clinton machine??? Barack Obama: man, myth, legend or liability??? The crowds swell, the polls surge, the candidate all but consumed in what appears to be a phenomenon the likes of which we haven’t seen since my very good friend Robittt … Francis … Kennedy.
And what of the Republicans? The old warhorse John McCain. We all know the story. Hanoi Hilton. POW. Straight-talking media darling. Will he strike Granite Gold again tonight? And what about the plastic money man Mitt Romney??? The only difference between Romney and a Ken doll is that Barbie would actually dump Romney – a man who’s mantra gives new relevance to Judy Collins’s famous sixties anthem “Both Sides Now.” But be .. that .. as .. it .. may: Romney could resuscitate his flagging effort by managing expectations to a victory by placing a close second.
And Mike Huckabee reminds me of the Dandyroo. He has everyone west of the Hudson River but has no idea why. And what must Al Gore be thinking? He’s got an Oscar, an Emmy, a Nobel Prize but prefers to ride the bench. But wait, Meredith won an Emmy, something for which yours truly was truly deserving. But I digress Giff.
I like Obama!!!! I love that little ____ excuse me, my microphone needs adjusting. Ah well, the story from Manchester is it appears the primary process is so condensed, so jam-packed, so cluelessly front-loaded that both parties will have chosen nominees well before the Redskins hire a new head coach.
This …is Howudd Coselll.
