I got this email from a reader the other day:
So Tucker Bounds is on TV talking about something, and all I can see are giant bunny ears coming out of his head. It’s a brilliant image, and I thank you for it!
She was, of course, referencing this post.
Mr. Bounds — John McCain’s campaign spokesman — is all over the television right now, as would be expected. And I don’t really care what he’s talking about in this clip, but I do think it’s funny that his tie, which I’m sure looked red in the mirror, looks pink on television. It’s Easter come early!
I just think the guy has the funniest Republican rich-kid name ever. And, look, I grew up with a lot of Republican rich kids, so I would know. I’d list some of their names here for comparison, but my website has this teensy tiny problem of having a really good Google page rank, so I’d be in a lot of trouble if they happened to Google their own names. Which most of them probably do hourly. So just trust me when I say that Tucker Bounds really has the creme de la creme of Republican rich-kid names.
Tucker Bounds for VP!
YAY! Tucker “Bunny Rabbit” Bounds! I now have a bizarre obsession with him for no good reason (much like my inexplicable feelings for Spaghetti Cat.)
I’m with you there – his name made me laugh. This interview was so funny. He never did answer the question. Dodge ball!
i’m totally with you. tucker quayle was all sorts of special, but i haven’t seen him since his dad left office, so perhaps he improved with age despite his genetics.
Typical right wing attempt.
I went to school with Tucker Bounds–(if this is the same one, although his giant ears are a dead give away)–and he may be a rich Republican brat, but he hails from a hillbilly town in eastern Oregon. He has always been such a douchebag.
This is hilarious, I wish there was more!!
what a fucking idiot.. all that education and shit, to not being able to answer one fucking question?? he would be fucking fired right after this interview if i was mccain..
The two requirements to be a Republican Rich Kid:
1) Your first name sounds like it should be your last name.
2) Dumb as a rock.
This guy seems to be well qualified….
I went to school with this guy too. Can’t remember a pink tie, but I do remember he was a nice, respectful guy. Not much of a hillbilly town either!
I listened to Tucker Bounds pathetic answers Campbell Brown on Sarah Plain’s National Security Experience. None,. Nada,
John McCain’s involvement with Keating Five shows his Judgment. I think Obama campaign should bring this up.
I actually went to high school with Tucker Bounds. It was pretty well-known that he was a trust fund kid — his grandmother or someone left him (from what was said) about 6 figures…. So yeah, Rebublic rich kid with this rich kid name he certainly is…
he was a pretty nice guy 12 years ago… It’s kinda scary to see him now
Yes just another typical right wing attempt to change the balance.
