VIDEO: Rent Is Too Damn High Guy Is Only One At CPAC Talking About Egypt

by Jack Stuef  2:48 pm February 11, 2011

We have no idea what this shoe thing was.GOProud is really good at two things at this CPAC: Getting publicity and angering conservatives. Yesterday, they brought Donald Trump to the convention. Today: Jimmy McMillan, the Rent Is Too Damn High Party guy. He gathered a huge crowd at their table, because he is the only interesting person in this entire building. We followed him on his triumphant tour through the lobby as he said hilarious things. And, depressingly, he made a CPAC first by talking about Egypt. Nobody is doing that here.

We spent most of the time behind him because that hair is excellent.

Yeah, he also hinted he’s going to announce his run for president (of the United States) on radio here or something. Sure, everybody run for president.

As someone who sports a fine moustache, including occasionally the full mutton chops, his is quite breathtaking.

Rarian Rakista February 11, 2011 at 5:53 pm

I'm stating to turn white down there myself and I'm only 32. Ack, better find a mate and procreate!

WriteyWriterton February 11, 2011 at 7:24 pm

Wait! Turn white down where?

EdFlintstone February 11, 2011 at 2:52 pm

Jimmy McMillan is too damn high.

Negropolis February 12, 2011 at 2:41 am

Heresy! There is no such thing.

Steverino247 February 11, 2011 at 2:52 pm

Of course, the rent's too damn high. You know what it costs to build a pyramid?

petehammer February 11, 2011 at 2:52 pm

The rent is so damn high in Egypt that people are LITERALLY making tent cities in public squares.

x111e7thst February 11, 2011 at 2:54 pm

Apparently you can get a place under a security services van practically for free.

GOPCrusher February 11, 2011 at 2:54 pm

He looks like the black version of Ambrose Burnside.

Steverino247 February 11, 2011 at 3:00 pm

If he performs adequate reconnaisance before pushing across rivers, he's way ahead of Ambrose.

SmutBoffin February 11, 2011 at 2:56 pm

McMillan/Demon Sheep two-aught-one-two!

weejee February 11, 2011 at 2:56 pm

They're going to throw shoes? Where is Shrub? Is he sitting on the chair in a dunk booth with some huckster selling 3 shoes for a dollar or something?

bureaucrap February 11, 2011 at 2:56 pm

large masses of people overthrowing despotic rule makes conservatives nervous. They're scared our peasantry might start getting ideas…

Negropolis February 12, 2011 at 2:43 am

Yeah, the tea party is cute to them, so long as they (the Tea Party) don't actually do what they want to do.

Angry_Marmot February 12, 2011 at 11:35 am

Our peasants are a little vague on exactly who is oppressing them.

transfatz February 13, 2011 at 3:56 am

I'd give more thumbs up for that if I could.

prommie February 11, 2011 at 2:58 pm

Now this is a candidate I would support. "The rent is too damn high!" Hold up your shoe to support the Egyptian people! This is beautiful, completeley beautiful. I love him. I want to take him home, stand him in the corner of my living room, and he can just yell out "the rent is too damn high" at random intervals. I want him to be president. "The state of the union is the rent is too damn high!" I live for that day.

baconzgood February 11, 2011 at 3:08 pm

I'd be you're room mate. Hell, I'd pay G&E and Sewage. Provided the rent isn't too damn high.

Lascauxcaveman February 11, 2011 at 6:15 pm

But that's why Prommie wants him; the rent is too damn high.

mourningnmerica February 11, 2011 at 2:58 pm

McMillan / Green 2012. That's what I'm talkin' 'bout.

baconzgood February 11, 2011 at 2:58 pm

I wish I was related to the rent is too damn high dude so I could spend everyday with him. He's AWSOM!

Mumbletypeg February 11, 2011 at 3:04 pm

Every damn day!

baconzgood February 11, 2011 at 3:09 pm

And "damn" AWSOM!

Come here a minute February 11, 2011 at 2:59 pm

We spent most of the time behind him because that hair is excellent.

True, but it pales in comparison to the facial hair.

slithytoves February 11, 2011 at 2:59 pm

I voted for him, or his mustache. Can't remember which.

GodShammgod February 11, 2011 at 2:59 pm

The only thing that's too damn high at CPAC are the College Republicans as they snort the blow they bought with their parents' money.

DonnyKerabotsos February 11, 2011 at 3:00 pm

Did he say just 'social justice' at CPAC?

Now he's fucked…

bumfug February 11, 2011 at 3:29 pm

Not only said it, said it after the word "support."

hunnybee February 11, 2011 at 5:15 pm

LOL. truly and deeply fucked.

Negropolis February 13, 2011 at 2:17 am

Now?

AngryBlakGuy February 11, 2011 at 3:00 pm

…his choice of facial hair says "Colonel Sanders" but that shoe waving is screaming "Nikita Khrushchev"! I'm confused! ?!?!

Negropolis February 12, 2011 at 2:45 am

I'm confused! ?!?!

That's the way the good Lord intended it.

Rosie_Scenario February 11, 2011 at 3:00 pm

What about the Sarah Palin impersonator?

alfred light February 11, 2011 at 3:06 pm

Michele Bachmann is at CPAC today?

Monsieur_Grumpe February 11, 2011 at 3:09 pm
GOPCrusher February 11, 2011 at 4:12 pm

Confused some onlookers.
LOL!

HolyMaracas February 11, 2011 at 3:16 pm

Was Sarah EVER real?

transfatz February 13, 2011 at 3:52 am

She rolls up and stores easily when not being used.

Gleem_McShineys February 11, 2011 at 3:23 pm

I'm glad you made the very fine distinction calling her an impersonator instead of "Fake Sarah Palin."

The latter only seems like you're being a little wordy, or redundant.

donner_froh February 11, 2011 at 3:06 pm

That's why Mubarak left Cairo when he did. Not only was the rent too damn high it was about to get a lot higher. When you are down to your last 70 billion or so you have to cut a few corners.

HistoriCat February 11, 2011 at 3:23 pm

Fucking economy is taking everyone down.

Graham Cracker February 11, 2011 at 5:21 pm

Wish I was that poor!

Negropolis February 12, 2011 at 2:47 am

Leave Mubs, ALONE! Being a dictator is hard ass-work.

HolyMaracas February 11, 2011 at 3:08 pm

This is exactly the kind of diversity Conservatards need! What's the official Negro count now?

JustPixelz February 11, 2011 at 3:16 pm

You mean "any" diversity is the kind they need, right?

gef05 February 11, 2011 at 3:09 pm

Today we are all Jimmy McMillan's shoeless foot. Or something.

I'm so damned confused at this point that I'd vote for him even if he wasn't insane.

GeoffPeterson February 11, 2011 at 3:13 pm

Funny how he got no response from the CPACers about Egypt. Shouldn't that be a neocon's dream? Oh, wait, except Mubarak was one of the U.S.'s pet dictators and the U.S. military didn't overthrow him.

Jukesgrrl February 11, 2011 at 4:44 pm

Yes, I think Cheney referred to him as a "great American." He'll probably get a award from C-PAC next year.

June_Cleaver2.0 February 11, 2011 at 7:42 pm

Plus astroturfers don't know what a true, organic revolt looks like, let alone where it comes from.

Weenus299 February 11, 2011 at 3:13 pm

McMillan and his speechifications is walking Dada sculpture.

Come here a minute February 11, 2011 at 3:17 pm

The volume of noise coming from the people of Egypt was Too Damn High for Hosni Mubarak.

June_Cleaver2.0 February 11, 2011 at 7:38 pm

And if Chris Mathews could stop calling Barack Obama Hosni Mubarak, I could stop laughing.

elviouslyqueer February 11, 2011 at 3:20 pm

McMillan/Dr. Scholl's 2012!

CrunchyKnee February 11, 2011 at 3:22 pm

His mullet was perfect.

Jukesgrrl February 11, 2011 at 4:46 pm

But he can't eat at Trader Vic's because the food there is Too Damn High.

Negropolis February 13, 2011 at 2:16 am

That ain't no mullet; that's a soul curl. Ok, I made that up, but it sounded good.

HistoriCat February 11, 2011 at 3:27 pm

Jimmy McMillan talks more DAMN sense than all of the CPAC speakers combined.

LesBontemps February 11, 2011 at 4:30 pm

Talk about damning with faint praise …

Redhead February 11, 2011 at 3:32 pm

So if you add up all the people who are running for president on the Republican/tea partier/wingnut side, what's the total number of years of education? (After you subtract the number of years spent in a cult – aqua Buddha or any other kind)

Guppy06 February 11, 2011 at 3:34 pm

Nobody cares about a revolution where nobody got to exercise Second Amendment remedies.

And speaking of African countries gone unmentioned in CPAC, how about Uganda?

user-of-owls February 11, 2011 at 3:58 pm

Hirsuteness is this generation's soul patch.

Rarian Rakista February 11, 2011 at 6:26 pm

Some women are really turned on by the whiskers, others not so much.

MinAgain February 11, 2011 at 4:06 pm

My high heeled shoes were too damn high, so I gave them all away. It's a shame, because I could have gotten some serious boomerang action from them today.

fuflans February 11, 2011 at 4:11 pm

so far from what i can see, Jimmy McMillan is the most sensible person to attend cpac.

Extemporanusâ„¢ February 11, 2011 at 4:12 pm

Riley Waggaman truly is a master of disguise!

AutomaticPilot February 13, 2011 at 10:35 am

As long as he's still talking about breakfastlunchanddinner for our children, I'm okay with that.

AutomaticPilot February 13, 2011 at 10:40 am

Oh, and the reason those two guys on the escalator were taking pictures of him was because he's the first real live Negro they've ever seen.
