Danke Schoen: Michele Bachmann Secures Crucial Wayne Newton Endorsement

video
» 49 comments

On last night’s On The Record, Michele Bachmann pulled the coup of all coups in Nevada, scoring a game-changing endorsement from the King of Las Vegas, Wayne Newton.

Host Greta Van Susteren was beside herself that Bachmann managed to snag such a high-profile endorsement. “So tell me where did you find Wayne Newton?”

“Wayne was kind enough to come on. Hey, we’re in Vegas!” Bachmann exclaimed.

Van Susteren asked Newton if he was in the hall for the GOP debate.

“I watched the entire debate, and I don’t have to tell you how proud I was of this lady because not only did she hold her own, but she kind of stood alone and I’m not talking about being female,” Newton gushed. “I’m talking about the wonderful things and views that she has for America.”

“I am an entertainer but first of all, I’m an American and second of all, I’m a Nevadan, and third of all, I will support this beautiful lady as long as she wants to go,” Newton added.

“That’s pretty good –don’t cha think, Greta?” the Minnesota Congresswoman asked. “That’s pretty hot,” Van Susteren acknowledged.

Though Bachmann and Newton would go on their separate ways, still the memory stays, for always. I’m sure Michele Bachmann’s heart says, Danke Schoen.

    so to recap: a guy we don’t care about endorsed a candidate we don’t care about. Got it.

    That’s it! The race is over. Bachmann will surely win now.

  • Rex the Wonder God

    Bachmentom!

    This is going to do wonders for her image in Florida; too bad she won’t be around to enjoy it.

    Wayne ‘Bless Your Heart’ Newton gives his endorsement?!?

    I suppose the Bachmann Naval jacket won him over. 

    …He just couldn’t compete with it!

  • Lala3_is_a_moron

    You’re right Lala, I’m sure all the Nazis who hate black people will vote for Obama.

    the charo, shecky greene, debbie reynolds and tony orlando endorsements are still up for grabs…

    That Tony Orlando endorsement is really meaningless without Dawn!!

    I heard Michelle also wanted to get the “Village People’s” endorsement, but they refused and only wanted their outfit back that she wore last night at the debate!!

  • http://twitter.com/runforfun54 Ilene K

    “Crucial”? Rotflmao! Calling Wayne Newton a “has been” is a mild understatement.

  • Hypocrisyjoe

    So you’re saying President Obama has got your vote. Check!

  • odeeo 2

    This is the best laugh I have had for a long time…Hilarious….It looks very difficult for Wayne to smile these days, the plastic just doesn’t bend that much

  • http://twitter.com/DrivelLady Laurie B.

    She’s lucky it wasn’t Pat Boone.  Anyway, all the other candidates should pack it in now.  Michele’s won!  Even though I heard the ghost of John Lennon endorsed Herman Cain.

    Barry got the Weather Underground endorsement!

    What happened? You did not post 500 words of BS . Did you forget to take your “pompous” pills?

  • Southernyankee1964

    Holly crap on cracker. We are in a world of trouble if this is what folks look for in leadership. We have real problems and folks are looking for sound bites and endorsements from the Vegas strip to lead us.She has fallen so down the rabbit hole it just makes me sick.Damn it enough is enough. At this rate people will vote for a Snookie from Jersey Shore if she says the right thing on the right nite.

    That would be you, child.

    LOL  What a horndog.  And that kiss at the end.  Was that interview a presidential endorsement or assault? Maybe a bit of both.

    Sure she got Wayne Newton’s endorsement. But that pales in comparison to Rick Perry’s endorsement from Mickey Mouse.

    the original dawns, too, for that matter…

    You are definitely an ugly american.

    He is a corpse- he’s been dead for years- someone forgot to tell him.

  • Anonymous

    The only thing that could save Perry, at this point would be for him to fly to Branson and get “Andy Williams”  endorsement!

  • Mauisun

    My recollection is that Wayne Newton spent his formative years in Barry Goldwater Arizona, which would explain why he grew up to be a right-wing-nut.

  • Ricci Dats Me

    a Wayne Newton endorsement. OH BOY!! Somewhere somebody’s momma is so proud.

  • Ricci Dats Me

    Oh yes, yes he does, and what did he do with that vote a few years ago. Back so far your memory seems to forget. HE BEAT THE OTHER GUY AND HIS DITZY GAL.. beat them so bad it could have been called.. SO, keep lining up your Wayne Newton supported people, your Cains and your PERRYs.. I’m SURE with the dirty Marxist hippie and Anarchist willing to go and vote (something these types are by definition NOT going to do, but we wont get into that issue), he will win again. YAY FOR THE RIGHT.. you guys have our backs.. and sadly, I WISH you did, but I’m thinking SERIOUS is not a word you quite get yet. Sometimes I think most of the RIGHT are thinking this whole presidential thing is a new reality TV show.. “I really like that black guy. He’s funny. Lets vote for him.”

  • Ricci Dats Me

    YES.. YES HE DID DIDNT HE.. and boy, that Weather Underground endorsement did what??? Oh, did you forget he beat “your team”..and its looking like the people you guys are standing up for the next round are just as pitiful. BUT, I’m pullin for ya.. FIND SOMEONE WORTHY so I can VOTE!

  • Anonymous

    Meh. One brainless wonder supporting another brainless wonder. That should garner a lot of votes.

  • caconservative

    Do yourself a favor and go see him preform. I was dragged to one of his performances and I can tell you, I came away understanding why every show of his is sold out in Las Vegas. He is the consummate entertainer.

  • caconservative

    You mean like…………Opra? Oh wait, she endorsed….what’s his name, didn’t she….

  • caconservative

    Wow, a Liberal love fest? Could you people get any more childish…wait…

    I heard that it was Goofy who endorsed Perry. No, wait, it was that Perry is goofy.

    So, Wayne says “I will support this beautiful lady as long as she wants to go”. I think that we can all that: it’s when she wants to stay that the support will evaporate.

  • Sal Benedetto

    Anybody a fan of “National Lampoon’s Vegas Vacation”?  Mr. Bachmann should crash a stolen van through Wayne Newton’s front door and yell, “Get your hands off my wife!”  This one had to be the last straw for a lot of her staff.  Well, that and the lack of negative net worth of her campaign as the holidays approach.  What fucking bitch.

  • Sal Benedetto

    She’s like a real life Mrs. Clark Griswold in “National Lampoon’s Vegas Vacation”.  This must have been the last straw for her campaign staff.  Well, that and the six digit negative net worth of her campaign as the holidays approach.  All that’s missing is Mr. Bachmann crashing a van through Wayne’s front door and yelling, “get your hands off my wife”.  Although, her body language was that of a woman who hadn’t been tightly held by a wanting man in a long, long time.  Did anyone notice how she leaned in as he kissed her?
