Watch: Paul Begala Says Hillary Clinton Dropping Out As Likely As "Monkeys Flying Out Of My Butt"

Speaking to CNN's Campbell Brown on Tuesday, Clinton supporter Paul Begala downplayed talk of Hillary Clinton bowing out of the Democratic Presidential race. Taking a page from the classic film "Wayne's World," Begala said Hillary withdrawing from the race was as likely as "monkeys flying out of my butt." Watch the video:

It wasn't the only time Begala used the Wayne's World wisdom. Watch him use it again below on a clip from AC 360:

I don't think I'd care much between the three of them if it weren't for the Supreme Court. The last thing we need are more corporatist judges.

Oh this IS fun.

I hope the ENTIRE MSM spends more time thinking of funny things to say that might get them on the daily show!!!

This could be a watershed moment.

Oh, please please please?

Note to MSM: Other excellent sources for things to say that might get you on the daily show-- Southpark, Spinal Tap, Austin Powers,L'il Bush..... oh, help me out here people. Give them more sources?

This voter is caught in an Orwellian conundrum but buoyed by a Faustian bargain:

Does he watch in horror as monkeys leap from Paul Begala's cavernous rectum or view in despair as two hackneyed, sag-assed politicos go at it in a General Election that is much ado about nothing?

He ponders for a moment... Faust wins! Damn the odor- bring on the monkeys!



Obama 08.

Hmmm! A visual image worthy of Hillary's campaign. Yet, which one is she posing as this week, the flying monkey or the butt?

Thank you Arianna! I can not laugh this hard or long anywhere else. It's not the articles (mind you), as they are usually very informative. It's just the comments! I love all of them. From the serious "you must believe me dammit!" to the extremely coy. If some of these people we're wearing out their sneakers and campaigning for a Democrat (ANY Democrat) instead of typing, well we could do great things. Meanwhile, while we're crackin' em (and each other), ol' Bush just raised 3/4 of a billion dollars for the Republican campaign. We have two animals fighting tooth and nail in a stream that is fast approaching the waterfall. What is this? A game of chicken? The sad part is if I was to claim who my support went with, the "other" side would attack me.
Aah, the hell with it, go Bama! (I wish them monkeys would fly on out of here)

Actually, 'ol Bush raised that much in the last 7 years. He didn't "just" raise it. He's got little left to sell at this point so who'd pay him for favors?

I read and post here and enjoy it. My wife and I were county convention delegates for Obama. We were then elected as delegates for the state convention in May. We're doing the forgotten work of carrying the voter's voices forward through the cumbersome process of selecting national delegates to vote in August.

I don't mean to attack you but I do want to point out that some of your assumptions may be wrong. We can enjoy ourselves and be active politically at the same time. Neat trick, eh?

Look - the reality is that the math is hopeless for Clinton - barring a complete collapse for Obama, he will enter the convention with more pledged delegates and more popular vote. If the situation were reversed, does anybody really think Hillary wouldn't be SCREAMING that Obama was tearing the party apart? Does ANYBODY think, if the situation were reversed, the "party elders" wouldn't be helping Obama off stage right? We're in this situation for one reason and one reason only: Hillary Clinton thinks she should be the nominee. That's it. That's the entire justification for what's happening. The FACT that the DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY VOTERS disagree with her - in terms of pledged delegates and the popular vote? Apparently, Hillary Clinton knows better. She's essentially saying: "I KNOW what's best, and I KNOW that either I will WIN 70% of the vote in EACH state from here on out (NEVER happen) or, I KNOW the super-delegates can and SHOULD override the will of the people and put me over the top. I KNOW that, despite the FACT that I agreed to skip Florida and Michigan, now that I NEED Florida and Michigan? I KNOW what's right - have NEW contests, against the rules laid down by the party a YEAR ago that I AGREED TO. I KNOW we shouldn't split the delegates 50/50, (which is the ONLY way to resolve the issue FAIRLY) - I KNOW - I KNOW - I KNOW WHAT'S BEST.

Amen MrsWakely. Here's what I know: I KNOW I wanna be a fly on the wall in the Clinton dining room when they look wistfully into each others eyes and realize that the jig REALLY is up and their 2 decades of triangulated, reprobate, meglomania has finally run its tired course.

The "party elders" (whoever they are) avoid ending this thing at their peril. Every day that the Clinton machine blasts Obama hurts the chances for November.The polls are CLEARLY showing the vote fatigue already. The Democratic party runs the very real risk they can put the American general election voter so off with this tit-for-tat bullshit, that they give this election to the EMINENTLY BEATABLE JOHN MCCAIN. HELLO??!! The Democrats (I'm a registered Independent who wants Obama) have managed to LOSE the last TWO presidential elections, both of which, let's face it - they should have RUN AWAY WITH. In 2000, they fucked up, by BILL CLINTON'S personal behavior and his willingness to LIE EMPHATICALLY UNDER FEDERAL OATH, Al Gores' shot to have 4 to 8 years. The result? Oh, let's see: 9/11, 2 conservatives on the Supreme court, Afghanistan (a mess), Iraq (the WRONG COUNTRY and A MESS), anti-science decisions that favor big business left, right and center, HUGE corporate and rich American tax cuts for the FIRST TIME EVER DURING WARTIME, a CLEAR violation of the boundaries between church and state - the list goes on and on and on and on.

The Democratic party needs to GET ITS SHIT TOGETHER - NOW - and get these fucking "super-delegates" in a room somewhere and lay down the fucking law - "look - you want to LOSE YOU MORONS?" GUYS? It's gonna be a cluster-fuck either way (Clinton wins/Obama supporters pissed - Obama wins/Clinton supporters pissed) the question IS - DO YOU WANT TO DEAL WITH THE FALL OUT NOW OR IN AUGUST? Don't you think it's better to make the argument that OBAMA IS GOING TO GO INTO THE CONVENTION AHEAD AND TO OVERTURN THE POPULAR WILL OF THE PEOPLE THEN WILL GUARANTEE DEFEAT IN NOVEMBER? Better to have the super-delegates put him over the top NOW, let Hillary pitch a fucking fit, let all her psycho supporters get all their bullshit out of their system in the next few months, and at least give the Democratic party a CHANCE to win this election - an election they SHOULD WIN GOING AWAY - IF THEY CAN GET THEIR HEADS OUT OF THEIR ASSES AND GET BEHIND OBAMA NOW - INSTEAD OF IN AUGUST WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GET BEHIND HIM ANYWAY.

If the Democratic party can't get their shit together? And they blow this? They deserve 8 years of McCain, followed by 8 years of his running mate - which they'll get. GROW UP DEMOCRATS.
