The Coal Miner's Daughter...oh, pleeeease


 
Have you seen the clips from Ann's appearance tonight on NBC....the interview with Moralles (sp?)? She is in Wales and the whole crap about her forefathers coming from there and worked in those horrible mines, blah, blah! That little asshat never saw poverty or hard work or any work in her life! Bet you she was there to film some crap for the convention where she will be introduced as some sort of coal miner's daughter. Also, talk about saying stuff the wingers don't like. For example her remark that Mitt couldn't do this without her, etc. She is suppose to be home baking cookies, I believe! And, indeed, the ambition just reeks from her. In fact for someone with MS and not suppose to get stressed, her ambition and greed are so great that she will even squander her health to get it. Greed and ambition are her greatest diseases.

I enjoyed that.  I saw Loretta at The Big D Jamboree when I was just a tike.  I fell in love.

I always liked her. I would love the opportunity to see her live.

Sometimes it's simply not worth letting out of their cages! What the hell do they think Michelle Bachmann, Sarah Palin, Janice Rogers Brown, Nikki Haley, etc. are doing with their damn day? Romney DOES need his wife. As the candidate's wife she has certain obligations. The choice to run is made by the whole family.

Many parents teach their children where they come from and the hardships they endured because it helps them appreciate what they have. Never in my life seen anyone as stupid, ever! Seriously, this is dumb beyond anything I've ever seen.

Funny he/she/it didn't mention Moochell's $300K no show job.

In 1964, me and a cousin went to the big city of Charlotte, NC to see Johnny Cash in a country music show. Johnny was the main attraction. We were going to have to suffer through Loretta Lynn before he came on. Loretta was just TOO country for my taste. She came out looking rather plain and did a few songs....the audience loved her and wanted more. She sang another song or two and the audience wouldn't let her go...so she sang another song then kicked off her shoes and did some clogging. The audience didn't want to let her go but she finally had to go so Johnny could come on....I loved her. I've been a fan of hers every since then.

BTW: Johnny wasn't so hot. He was drunk or high or something but Loretta alone gave us our moneys worth.

I took my grandparents to see her several years ago. As we were gathering our stuff to go my grandmother disappeared then came back a few minutes later and drug us to the backstage area. With a twinkle in her eye she whispered to the guy guarding the door. He left and came back and had a short conversation with her. Next thing we know we are being whisked backstage and found ourselves in the presence of Loretta herself. Lovely down to earth woman BTW. I had to ask how my grandmother did it. She looked at me and smiled and just said "I knew Patsy well". Turns out that she was a friend of Patsy Cline's back in the day while she was a struggling singer and had met Loretta a few times as well.

Honestly I love telling the story about how my 75 year old grandmother got me backstage at a concert.

It's funny how sometimes we forget that our elders were youngsters at one point as well.

Yeah, that was four years ago, and it still pisses me off.

It was a hospital in Chicago that gave her the "job" and the salary, for whatever reason.

No wonder medical bills are so high these days.

Typical DUmbass, describes the "American Dream" and hates it.

True story:

My grandfather emigrated here fom Germany at the age of 18 with an 8th grade educaion. After working odd jobs and learning English on his own, he settled down here and started farming. He went from living in an 8X10 shack and paying for his rent with livestock he raised to being one of the most succesful farmers in this area.

He raised a farmer, a bank president, a math professor, and a doctor. The doctor, my uncle, is now CEO of one of the largest medical groups in the country. He has, on his desk, a bowl of dirt from the family farm. Whenever he starts feeling too important, he runs his hand through that dirt to remind him (pardon the pun) of his roots.

Another great story!  This is a mixed thread full of good times and DUmmie pain.  It doesn't get any better.

From the short thread, a puzzling statement:

8. Just like nearly every racist white I've ever met in the southeast states claims to be part Cherokee

Oh...and descended from a Cherokee Princess at that.
 

Do you mean from the northeast?

I don't know about those other racists, but my father married a pure Cherokee.  My mama's people were ashamed of me.  The Indians said I was white by law.  They say my mama wasn't a real Indian squaw.

But like Obamo I'm a half-breed.  That's all I ever heard.  Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word.  Half-breed, he's a racist they warned.  Both sides were against me since the day I was born.

How long before they say Romney shouldn't run because Ann has serious health issues?  Or they will say she faked it.

Ann Romney's MS scare
By: Mackenzie Weinger
August 17, 2012 06:17 AM EDT

Ann Romney revealed on Thursday that she had a flare-up of her multiple sclerosis this spring during the GOP primaries that gave her a “real scare” and offered her “a reminder that I can’t keep up the pace.”

Ann Romney told NBC’s “Rock Center” the flare-up occurred during the primaries — “such a crazy time” — and she didn’t tell her husband, Mitt, or anyone else at the time. As NBC’s Natalie Morales noted, “of course, one of the triggers for MS and the flare-ups is constant stress in your life. So nothing like a good old campaign to add to the stress,” Ann Romney laughed. She then acknowledged she had â€œjust a little bitty” flare-up in the spring “but enough to give me a real scare.”

“It was such a crazy time, and I didn’t want to have anyone worrying about me, especially Mitt. I didn’t tell anyone, but I knew I had to quit,” Ann Romney said.

Ann Romney, who was diagnosed with MS in 1998, said the scare served as a “reminder that I can’t keep up the pace.”

“I started feeling tingling and a little bit of numbness coming back and I was dizzy, I started to get dizzy, the dizzy head, you caught the MS fog, the real foggy brain,” Ann Romney said.

I love Johnny Cash and Loretta Lynn.  They both remind me of my childhood.

American history is full of sickly and unhealthy First Ladies.  It didn't matter then and it doesn't matter now.  I'm sure the Romney's daughter-in-law, Mary, would make a lovely and stylish stand-in hostess in case Mrs. Romney is too ill to participate.

[ColonelCarrots]

If Michelle had MS they would have sold their first born to Gypsies to save her.

Sometimes, crazy ones, too, as Mary Todd Lincoln was.

I know, won't stop them from saying it.
