the GOP Clutch Cargo#2

So many people find this man strangely attractive, but I don't get it. His mouth moves like Clutch Cargo's in the old cartoon. Anyone else here recall those? The eerily thin lips that function independent of a face? Sort of animation botox.

YES! I hated that animation! They put real mouths on cartoon characters...it was CREEPEE! Creepier than talking children and animals in commercials, or that animated dancing baby on Ally McBeal.

I always love it with the "traditional family" crap GOPer are revealed to have the same sensibilities as everyone else.

I loved Paddlefoot though. He had a normal mouth.

I used to try and duplicate the Clutch cargo mouth when I was a kid. I'd stand in front of the mirror, narrow my lips and then croak out words. My mother thought I was embracing ventriloquy.

On October 27, 2003, Scarborough expressed extreme anger that the FCC refused to impose fines on ABC when Bono used "the 'F' word" during a live broadcast of the Golden Globe Awards:

The show was live, and unlike SCARBOROUGH COUNTRY, the "F" word was not bleeped out. Earlier this month, the FCC ruled that Bono's acceptance speech and his use of the word that began with an "F" was not a violation of indecency rules. . . ..

Robert, it was at 8:00. Kids were watching this. You've studied television and pop culture. What does it say about our FCC that we've come this far or you could say gone this far backward that somebody could say the "F" word on TV and get the federal government's approval?

Scarborough then even boasted to his guest that his upbringing was so fine that he was taught not to use such words:

Robert, I'm glad to hear that you don't use the words and you didn't use them growing up. All I'll say is, my mom put soap in my mouth more than once or twice.

Apparently, she didn't do it enough. On October 10, 2006, Scarborough hosted a whole segment mocking and attacking Barbra Streisand for using the same word during a concert when speaking about President Bush:

Also, Barbra Streisand gets into a four-letter fight with one of her fans. Her Bush-bashing schtick led to an angry F bomb. . . .And coming up: Barbra Streisand drops the F bomb on a fan who fights back after her Bush-bashing routine. We`ve got the star-studded reaction to the obscene outburst. . . .

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

I'd never even heard of Clutch Cargo until I read this thread. According to what I've been able to find out, Clutch Cargo started airing in 1959. Until when? Where was it shown? (Something said it was syndicated in 65 outlets.) Was it actually any good?

Now I finally understand Conan O'Brien's reference to it!

(Oh, and, BTW, I do not think Joe Scarborough is attractive in the least. Even his hair looks like it's "drawn on.")

For those confused by the Conan reference, it was like when Conan speaks to famous people that are just photos but their mouths move.
Other cartoons used this animation method, too...I remember one in outer space...unless that was a nightmare I had at 5 years old.
CREEEPPYYY!

Thank you Borstal for all of that info on his hypocrisy. Ah, the inevitable moment of revelation. Tomorrow, a mea culpa and perhaps Mika shoving a large Camay soap through his Clutch-esque oraface for some symbolic cleansing.
