Holy shit, this is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time. Mitt sure wants to be there.

Funny? That is flat out painful. I used to like Meatloaf’s music and I’ll never be able to listen to it again without thinking of that. They sound like a bunch of wailing drunks.

There’s probably a reason for that…

He was just a slurring, sweaty mess.
Clint can’t claim the most embarrassing celebrity campaign performance anymore either.

It’s not just the terrible singing, it’s also the complete flubbing of the lyrics. Makes Roseanne Barr look like a talented singer by comparison.

I’ve seen him in concert and spoke with him briefly while getting an autograph. I’m a fan of his - well, his older stuff anyway. I don’t think I need to buy any more of his music or see him in concert ever again, judging from that video clip. Someone speculated on another message board that Meat might be abusing something again. Can’t say that performance convinces me otherwise.
Big & Rich are there as well. Not a big surprise. I think there’s a law that any country artist not in the Dixie Chicks has to be Republican. I think the other singer is from the group Alabama.

I loved that Meatloaf hugged Mitt. I bet Mitt LOVES himself some sweaty, off-tune, tubby bubby buddy huggin’.

Never has anything made Karaoke look so good by comparison! You have to wonder if it sounded as bad standing up there among it as it did on the recording. Surely, they could hear themselves and that they were a weensy teensy bit off.

Hey… hey… hey… Mitt doesn’t do Boozy! (But, he might have gotten a contact inebriation from that)

Romney to about-to-be-fired staffer: “That was NOT what I meant. I was telling you what I wanted for lunch.”

What was that game… telegraph or telephone…
First Staffer wispers: “Wow, Mitt’s really letting his meat loaf out there these days”
Second Staffer: “Mitt wants meatloaf for lunch (the only beef that Ohio people can afford)”
Third Staffer: “Mitt wants Meatloaf in Ohio”
Fourth Staffer (on the phone to the singer Meatloaf, who is coming off of a two week drinking binge): “Can you come to Ohio to meet Mitt?”
Fifth Staffer: “Does Meatloaf need a chair?”

Remember that parody of Kenny Rogers that MadTV used to do? This video brings that to mind.

Which is different from his usual performances _how_ exactly?
