While Ken and Sara have taken the “good passes” to the Pepsi Center, your humble associate editor has a mere “perimeter pass,” which gives access to the parking lot. But look what we’ve found in one of the plastic “media pavilions”: the Captain Morgan’s “Captain For President” lounge, with comfy black chairs and free Tanqueray. We’re just cold eatin’ pretzel mix and watchin’ teevee with this pirate dude. Everyone come to Media Pavilion #2. The best part about this place is that they have the teevees on mute.
In a desperate ploy to head off Hillary, the Obama campaign decided she needed to get laid and hired this guy out of Denver’s Best-Dressed Escorts
Dude where’s the picture of Denis Kucinich rockin’ the house!??!?! He’s the REAL Capn’ Morgan!
This is exactly how Barack should take the stage during his next fifty speeches. Maybe not the pirate outfit (the whole pilliage and rape thing sends the wrong message) but he should definately flash the “twin fists of ROCK” as this Captian Morgan fellow seems to be doing.
related to alcohol if not this post (sorry Jim!):
NoWireHangers-what were your crafty Obama party plans? i vaguely remember an O cake and some patriotically themed cocktails…hoping to steal your ideas!
Well, well, well…looks like George “macacca” Allen got himself a new gig. Or he just showed up early for the wrong convention….
Did The Captain serve in the same unit as WALNUTS?
(They’re both NAVY “men,” correct?)
And was The Captain “tortured” the same way, e.g., not enough ice in his gin?
I have a child who likes to wear pirate costumes. If he grows up to be like this, so help me god, I’m going to kill him.
hockeymom: you would kill a child who serves you free booze and snacks?
Ken Layne: well if you’re going to put it like that, then perhaps not.
On Democracy Now! this morning they interviewed the Captain there cuz it proved that coporations can have their logo-clowns wandering around while activists are being swept off the streets by nameless cops and whatevers.
I’m all for Jim getting to drink booze with underemployed actors dressed as pirates, but if you were actually out to perpetrate serious journalism, why would it be to your advantage to hang out in “Media Pavilion #2″ rather than, say, staying at home and watching the convention on TV?
Santa?
Where’s Jimmy Buffet?
Josh Fruhlinger: What’s this “serious journalism” of which you speak? I’ve been watching this shit since yesterday and haven’t seen anything more than speculation and idiocy from the “journalists” (other than Rachel Maddow).
A few years ago I went to Gasparilla in Tampa. After one of the parades, I’m stumbling drunk around close to the Ice Palace and I pass by a long row of port-a-johns, and they smell about like you’d expect. Out of one of them strides none other that the Captain himself, still trying to hitch his pirate pants just right, and collecting his mighty pirate hat from a nearby wench whom he had asked to hold it while he drained his wooden leg.
I don’t know what that has to do with this but I laughed at seeing the world’s most famous pirate coming out of a plastic toilet in downtown Tampa.
How many of those high mast ships did Cap’n Morgan get shot out from under him?
Think he’ll catch up with our own McCrud?
Oh yeah, he’s dead.
Nevermind……
The insinuation that Captain Morgan, a former prisoner of war, is drunk at the Democratic National Convention is outrageous.
Ask Pirate Dude, does he need a cabin boy?!

This sounds fun. I can haz pirate?
That may be K-Fed.
jerryw: He’ll never be able to crash as many ships into Vietnam as McCain did planes.
I’d climb his mast and set sail.
What does the Captain think of Paris Hilton’s energy plan? Actually, they’d be good running mates.
Why would a pirate be in a gang? So confused…
Beware of Republican ninjas.
