Debbie’s salient point for me was about having nothing that unites us these days. Exactly.

And I DO appreciate the Yiddish lesson, by the way. My mother used a bit of Yiddish around the house, picked up mostly from her mom, the 1905 Ellis Island Grandma the seamstress from Bialystok, Poland.

By the way Debbie, thanks also for giving me a picture of something. I KNEW this guy was weird looking, just couldn’t place it. I never really watched that show, so didn’t have much of a reference, LOL!!!

And no, I didn’t watch a minute of either Convention, as I don’t watch such stuff, nor do I watch any television news, unless I’m at someone’s place and they have a TV on. But I do see clips when prompted by an interesting article, or something that piques my curiosity.

On second thought, I’m thinking he also resembles someone else. Could it be Whitey Bulger? Someone else? Not sure. Someone help me out here.

Alfredo from Puerto Rico on July 28, 2016 at 2:18 pm

I’ve learnt some Yiddish and Hebrew in my time, and though the word I’m about to use to describe Tim Kaine isn’t either, it’s loosely based thereon. Overall, Kaine is full of schleboodle. You figure that one out.

ConcernedPatriot on July 28, 2016 at 2:19 pm

P.S. The term “DNCon” to describe this mess is very apt. They sure are pulling a con job on the American sheeple.

ConcernedPatriot on July 28, 2016 at 2:21 pm

Like Shmendrik

Panhandle on July 28, 2016 at 2:56 pm

Your Yiddish lesson reminded me of the “LAVERNE AND SHIRLEY” television show, which actually starts out with the two of them skipping down the sidewalk and chanting, “1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, Schlimiel! Schlamazel! Hasenpfeffer Incorporated!”

I don’t care anything about any of the politics, Democratic or Republican, but, ah, the memories!

John Robert Mallernee on July 28, 2016 at 3:08 pm

Kaine is also a shmendrik with a goyisher kop!

PaulaMalka on July 28, 2016 at 4:44 pm

Though Kaine read his teleprompter without a glitch, as far as I’m concerned this klutz is no mensch and he scored a bagel with his pandering spiel and Spanish shtick. He had a lot of chutzpah to convey a load of such empty schlock. This is what happens when you have tush for brains. His speech was so annoying I could just plotz.

Ralph Adamo on July 28, 2016 at 4:48 pm

WTH is up with all those Palestinian Flags being flown at the convention? Whats up with these democrats, seriously, that shi. is not funny

MrBigBrain on July 28, 2016 at 4:58 pm

This guy is a bit of a dork, I thought, a goofball

MrBigBrain on July 28, 2016 at 4:58 pm

He was a pathetic slob.

Worry on July 28, 2016 at 5:11 pm

Aside from anything else, let me say that I have a good 30-40 pounds to lose but at least I came by it honestly by not being able to exercise after abdominal cancer surgery.

But Tim Kaine is a jowly belly-shelfer and has no one to blame but himself.

Ingot on July 28, 2016 at 6:11 pm

“I speak several languages, none of which is Spanish, so I hadn’t a clue what this putz was saying. This is America, chump. SPEAK ENGLISH. A guy who speaks in Spanish (and I include George W. Bush in this category) is a guy who wants to practice identity politics, engage in multi-culturalist double-speak, and further divide America”

As someone who speaks several languages, are you saying it would be a different story if he made a speech in another language? I have hispanic friends, coworkers, and classmates from several backgrounds including Salvadorean, Puerto Rican, Colombian, Dominican, Cuban, etc. I don’t speak Spanish though I can read some of it and translate some of it. I do know that there are dialects and different Spanish accents among the Latin American countries. They’re not all like the entitled illegals granted amnesty under Obama. I havent watched the RNC nor the DNC. I didn’t watch Tim Kaine’s speech so it may sound ok by Ecuadorian standards but maybe not by Mexican standards.

M: You missed my point entirely, which is that this is America, and we speak English here (or used to). He spoke Spanish, which was absurd for an acceptance speech for the nomination of VP of the USA. The only language he should have spoken is the one everyone is expected to know to become a citizen here: ENGLISH. That’s the point, the only point. Get it? Got it? Good. DS

Matthew on July 28, 2016 at 7:25 pm

This takedown was one of the funniest pieces Debbie has ever done. But I have to admit, it hurts; Tim Kaine for several years was my governor. Not that I actually voted for that Hispandering empty suit or our current Virginia governor, friend-of-Hillary Terry McAuliffe.

Primetime on July 28, 2016 at 9:42 pm

To the party that calls Hillary the most qualified person in American history to be president this man probably looks like a freakin’ genius, above and beyond any Einstein.
As for the Spanish, I’m sure he was trying to reach their illegal constituents. Maybe he should put on a dress to reach the LGBTXYZ community too.

theShadow on July 28, 2016 at 10:01 pm

I agree. His speech was terrible. Just listened to Chelsea. Her speech was nausea inducing. Now Hillary. Does she have any vision? Doubt it.

Hillel on July 28, 2016 at 10:25 pm

I am waiting for my favourite Ken B. to post!

This was so funny! This dude looks like a dopey piece of melting pla-doh! I never trust Libtard Jesuits either. Big Dhimmi!

Libtards are so passionately retarded. You can always stranglehold them with their own hypocrisy!

Ugh, now the games begin. What a joke this great country has become. It’s a confederation of dunces who have lost dignity years ago…

Skunky on July 28, 2016 at 10:39 pm

The prissy man was wearing more makeup than Bozo the Clown. That isn’t hyperbole, either.

Joe on July 28, 2016 at 11:16 pm

He was very prissy

MrBigBrain on July 29, 2016 at 12:58 am

“The prissy man was wearing more makeup than Bozo the Clown. That isn’t hyperbole, either.
Joe on July 28, 2016 at 11:16 pm”

Maybe he tried to take my advice about reaching out to the LGBTMNOP community and forgot to wear the dress.

theShadow on July 29, 2016 at 1:52 am

If this clown were a Republican, the only thing we would be hearing about from the liberal press is his goofy looks!

Tommy Thomas on July 29, 2016 at 7:24 am

With regard to Kaine speaking Spanish and catering to the Spanish speaking I would suggest that the same courtesy be extended to Jews in this country. Every politician should include Yiddish in his speeches. As well of course as Spanish,Arabic and Chinese. This would make no sense to the audience but even in plain English most politicians never make sense anyway.

Jerry G on July 29, 2016 at 8:13 am

It used to be the case that Democratic presidential candidates would pretend they were moderates when running for office. Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter were examples of this, and even Obama in 2008, in spite of his background, tried to present such an image.

Now they don’t seem to be doing that anymore. But they still see some value in it, but it has been relegated to the Vice-Presidential candidate. And of course the ‘moderate’ can’t be too obtrusive.

Little Al on July 29, 2016 at 9:00 am

Although to be fair, Pence has always been for open borders.

Little Al on July 29, 2016 at 9:01 am

The problem is the majority of the electorate are morons (There is no other way to explain a President Obama) so Clinton/Kaine is going to win.

I_AM_ME on July 29, 2016 at 9:04 am

BTW, the word ‘historic’ has become one of the most obnoxious cliches around.

Little Al on July 29, 2016 at 9:39 am

Bad choice.
Won’t help the ticket one bit.
Comes across as oafish and dull.
She should have picked Sanders,just to shut up his moronic followers ,who were given more than they deserved at the convention.
However,I hope that the Democrats wipe the floor with the evil Trump.

Paul Gleitman on July 29, 2016 at 10:25 am

Bad choice.
Should have picked Sanders himself or Elizabeth Warren

Paul Gleitman on July 29, 2016 at 10:27 am

Picture it Virginia 1995. A young newly married sailor transferring from the loony Left Coast about to go to a command where his new ship hasn’t been completed yet. I have 2 weeks to get my crap together then get transferred to the deep south were the ship is actually located. One year later the brand new ship is home ported in VA. Back then we had an exceptional governor in George Allen and right before I left we got stuck with the frumpy fat pandering doofus Tim Kaine. The Eyebrow as I called him because he has that habit of raising one of his brows looking like The Rock from the WWE. Back then this idiot was a bumbling, corrupt, Islamic loving stooge. He did things that made Bob McDonnell look like a gift getting choirboy. This sloppy brainiac also closed down rest stops in one of the most tourist driven states in the union. The joke was if you came to drive through Virginia you better learn to hold what’s in ya. I guess it’s good that VA only lets the governor serve one four year term. That way they can’t screw up to bad and move onto bigger things like VP for corrupt liberal politicians. Or in McAuliffe’s case if the PIAPS wins he could rent out the Lincoln Bedroom again. Like I said earlier we had good governors back then (not counting horse face Warner)but with the infestation of Northern Virginia with DC federal bugs you get a Clintonoid scumbag. Kaine lacks the shysterness of McAwful but he’s just as greasy. I too hope that Mike Pence takes his lunch in their debate because if he doesn’t it’ll be a snooze fest. Just in case I’ll have my no doze handy like I did last night listening to Cruella DeClinton.

Alfredo from Puerto Rico on July 29, 2016 at 12:47 pm

Part of that ridiculous nauseating speech was the frequent repeating of a phrase. That’s something Obama does and this guy did it often. To no effect of course.

Furthermore, he was over the top effeminate sounding. I know he’s married but this guy may go both ways. It made sense actually. Hillary is most definitely a ladies woman so why wouldn’t she want someone effeminate to serve as her #2. Basically, he came off as her bitch.

I don’t want to be too hard on the guy but I saw nothing to think he should be a governor let alone the second in command for the US. Wow, a guy like him would have been unheard of in days gone by.

Barry on July 29, 2016 at 6:06 pm

Hillary Clinton’s first Presidential Decision – Tim Kaine

Stan on July 29, 2016 at 11:09 pm

Trump wants told Jeb to speak in English while he was in the US, and that stung him. He should have repeated the same to Tim Kaine, while doing an imitation of Kaine’s imitation of himself, which would have been better than Kaine’s.

Anyway, all those Bernie supporters can now go to Jill Stein. Wonder whether she’s as rabid a Jihadist supporter like Bernie is?

Infidel on July 30, 2016 at 7:52 pm

Kaine looks like a kid toucher; very creepy. Trump also needs to slam him for an OPSEC violation when he told the world the day of his son’s unit deployment in addition to speaking Spanish.

Todd on July 30, 2016 at 8:16 pm

Today, I liked Trump lashing out against the Paki couple. Just b’cos their son died, we are supposed to take in Muzzies from everywhere – Syria, Pakistan, Emirates, et al, and assume they won’t kill us!!!

Hitlery, you can have the Muzzie vote!!!

Infidel on July 31, 2016 at 3:15 am

I’ve got so much going on that I haven’t had a moment for myself, much less news, politics or conventions–I’ll trust Debbie’s judgment regarding Tim Kaine’s persona and performance but I would like to chime in on the REALLY REALLY important stuff. TIm Kaine looks like he was spawned from the DNA of Carroll O’Connor and Bill O’Reilly.

Even more important is his Hebrew/Yiddush name. Remember, names in the Tanakh are as much a description as they are an identity so it should come as no surprise that the most fitting name AND description for Kaine is schmeckle.

YCHtT on July 31, 2016 at 5:24 am

Captain John Robinson, quoted on ‘Family Guy’:

“We need to chart this planet. Greg, you take my 16 year old blonde daughter out in the chariot for the rest of the day. Penny, you stay with me. And Will, you and the robot go out into the uncharted wilderness and take this mincing, boy-hungry pedophile with you.”

Joe on July 31, 2016 at 11:24 pm

And I felt absolutely certain that Hillary would pick Ted Cruz to be her running mate!
