Minnesota Gubernatorial Candidate Sort of Knows How To Do Computer Animation

by Jack Stuef  11:39 am July 12, 2010


In the state of Minnesota, there is a thing called the Independence Party, and that is not considered an oxymoron. Gubernatorial candidate Rob Hanh lost the party’s endorsement to somebody named Tom Horner. So this video was his response? It is probably changing many Minnesotans’ minds right this second. Anyway, as you can see from Hanh’s website, he is really good at graphic design and such. And that will take him all the way to the Minnesota Governor’s Mansion or Governor’s Teepee or Governor’s Beaver Den or whatever they have up there. [Star Tribune via Wonkette operative "Rachel D."]

All you need to know about Hahn is the URL of his campaign site:

“robbobforgov.com”

I think he’s running for office about fifteen hundred miles too far to the north. He needs to be among the Bubba Bobs, the Jim Bobs and the Sally Bobs.

Newsflash: Also-ran co-opts plagiarist’s crappy song for fourth-party journey into complete obscurity. What’s amazing is that if it weren’t for the Large Hadron Collider we wouldn’t even be able to detect this kind of news.

Did someone say “Oscar nomination”?

He wishes that was “slime” dropping on him.
Worst cover ever.

There are a lot of questions to be asked about this video, but why is Tom Horner’s neck black? I don’t understand that.

I need to borrow that healthy smoking doctor lady’s cigarette so I can burn out my eyeballs and eardrums.

And why does he have a comb-over, when in fact Tom has lots and lots and LOTS of nice silvery hair? Horner is cool, BTW. Has no time for the likes of Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin, and is pleasantly centrist.

What the hell was that???

I never knew you could use an atari pong controller to control kinematics in any modern rendering package.

A beaver’s home is a lodge, not a den.

This is yet another Sign of the End Times.

And here I’d thought the Independence party shut down shortly after Gov. Predator left office; well this certainly shows they’re still relevant. Guess it has outlived the parent, Perot’s Reform Party; unless some tattered remnants of that still exist.

Time out for another trip to Uncle Mel’s Playhouse–free Lithium with every visit!

He puts the HAH in HAHN!

So judging by the sign-twirler in the vide, Rob Hahn is a twelve year old girl?

KublaKant July 12, 2010 at 12:29 pm

It could have ended at 2:00 mins in, or at 2 seconds.

A simple blood or hair sample could be used to clear up the question of when Sarah Palin last smoked pot. The Palin Hookworm Conjecture will require a stool sample in order to clear up. Also.

I only made it 1:30 into that video and I demand that part of my life back. It is so static and lifeless that it seems to last for all eternity no matter how short a segment you watch.

The Church of Realism July 12, 2010 at 12:33 pm

I only made in about 1:33 and then I vomited out of my eyes…

The independence party isn’t an oxymoron, just regular morons.

Geogre July 12, 2010 at 12:35 pm

I love it. A place and party where “He’s a Republican” is a dirty charge and can lose the election.

Are there… jobs in St. Paul?

[re=615310]Quatchi[/re]: Depends on whether you mean the dam-builder or the “other” kind of beaver.

Extemporanus July 12, 2010 at 12:53 pm

[re=615290]actor212[/re]: Sorry, Rob Bob, butBob Roberts beat you to it.

Mahousu July 12, 2010 at 12:57 pm

I’m a little confused – is Rob Hahn the prepubescent girl in the red dress? In that case, uh, cute ribbon, but you have to be at least 25 to be Minnesota governor. Try again in a few years.

Almost certain that webpage was created using Microsoft Publisher 98

Potater July 12, 2010 at 1:04 pm

That’s not oil.

Manos: Hands of Fate July 12, 2010 at 1:15 pm

[re=615317]JMP[/re]: Sadly no, which is why it took nine months the whole Minn. Senate mess to get cleared up. What the hell does the Ind. party even stand for? What are its demographics? I’m guessing middle-aged white guys — engineers and software programs mostly — who like furry porn too much to hang around the bible thumpers in the GOP.

The Unfairman July 12, 2010 at 1:58 pm

Igloo, Jack. It’s the governor’s igloo. That is the funny joke you’re looking for.

It’s like you guys don’t even know your cultural stereotypes anymore.

martinette July 12, 2010 at 2:00 pm

According to this ridiculusly long url…

http://www.minnpost.com/politicalagenda/2010/07/09/19583/ip_challenger_hahn_wont_take_down_youtube_video_attacking_endorsed_candidate_horner

..that’s the candidate himself doing the singing. A resgular Enrico Pallazo!

The Unfairman July 12, 2010 at 2:02 pm

Also, for the record…

I kinda love that video.

martinette July 12, 2010 at 2:05 pm

reg-u-lar.

Neilist July 12, 2010 at 2:16 pm

Would have been a better anime if there was tentacle bondage sex with the girl holding the sign.

Just sayin’.

[And that song? Gesh, and you people say I'm annoying?]

Dumptruck July 12, 2010 at 2:52 pm

what the fuck shit is this shit? For fucking fuck’s sake, why the fuck would some fucknut pay for this shit to be made?

privatejoker July 12, 2010 at 2:55 pm

What the fuck was that?

Can O Whoopass July 12, 2010 at 3:20 pm

You know, the people at “Rocky & Bullwinkle” are unemployed and would work cheap?

GOPCrusher July 12, 2010 at 3:35 pm

[re=615398]Manos: Hands of Fate[/re]: The only engineers and software programmers in MN are H-1B’s. So I’m thinking they’re going after the survivalists demographic.

BobTheBuilder July 12, 2010 at 4:49 pm

Talk about shitting all over your opponent.
