Team McPalin In Green Bay

So, Team McPalin is coming to Green Bay, Wisconsnin's version of Mecca, today to try to sell their snake oil.

When I first heard this news, it stirred a memory of a videotape I had seen years ago. This tape was like a prescient version of today's event.

The show had McCain's anachronistic qualities, Palin's sense of fashion and her accent, and of course, the Green Bay Packers, in the glorious year of 1996.

Fortunately, I was able to find a couple of clips of the show on YouTube, so for your viewing pleasure:

Connie Gomper & The Pack (Part I-8:11)



Connie Gomper & the Pack (Part II-9:46)



To feel really old, look how young Brett Favre and Mike Holmgren look in these videos.

  1. Gee.

    When I heard that they were in Green Bay, I remembered the pro-life demonstrator at a Gore rally who was beaten by a bunch of Manitowoc Firefighters.

    I guess that was their version of "saving" people.

  2. Oh, yeah, Dad, I'm sure that some Manitowoc firefighters just went around asking people if they were anti-choice and then pummeled the once that said yes.

    That is the kind of crap I heard from the inmates when I worked at HOC. What did the anti-choice person really do to provoke them?

  3. Stood way, way, back of the Gore crowd with a sign.

    There's an incident report available at the DePere cop shop.

    And yah--they were Man'woc FFUnion guys. The pictures captured their logos on their t-shirts.
