Rep. Allen West Sang ‘Pretty Woman’ With A Full Band This Weekend

video
» 29 comments

In this latest installment of “political figure of your choice performs a pop/rock song for no clear reason,” Rep. Allen West– he who wants the President to “get the hell out of the United States,” he who deemed Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultznot a lady,” the most Spartan member of the Republican Freshman class– has a sweet ditty he wants to share with the attendees of his birthday party. Warning anyone with camera that he’d make them do push-ups if they recorded what was about to transpire, a video captured by Florida political blog The Shark Tank shows the Congressman breaking into a cover of “Pretty Woman.”

According to Politico, this performance occurred before a small audience at the Congressman’s 51st birthday party. Since the video is out there, one can expect the threat against taping it was a joke, thankfully, which means we get to partake in the performance. In the canon of political music videos, Rep. West’s performance, given that it wasn’t even technically public, wasn’t that bad– certainly better than Mitt Romney‘s America the Beautiful– but it’s no Rod Blagojevich does Elvis with Fabio, and certainly nowhere near the impressive quality of “Imagine All the Pizza.”

The performance below:

    This was awesome!

    As a Negro myself, I’d choose 1 Allen West over 10 Barack Obamas anyday; and I mean even if I were offered money(a million dollars) to choose Obama.

    Why is it when Obama sings you guys have obamagasms but when some other politico sings you have hissy fits?  I don’t get it.

    Based on his hilariously-outdated hairdo, I’d expect Allen “Cut-and-run” West would be better suited to singing “2 Legit to Quit” or something from the Technotronic or Kid ‘n’ Play catalogs.

    Well, surprise, surprise, Allen West does have some ability, but the greatest musical clip from the Republican Primary Show was Cain’s cartoon dance fantasy (“I don’t even know this women!”). It was brilliant and must have had millions of hits. As entertainment goes the Republican Primary Show was excellent while, at the same time, a pathetic and sad event, and even more depressing when you realize that the small number of rabid rightwingers who actually voted took this stuff seriously.

    What have the ”G”reed “O”ver “P”eople done for blacks in the lasts 100 years than just  marginalize and suppress the black vote. You have to be a damn fool if your black and you support the GOP. That’s like chickens  supporting  colonel sanders.

    No hissy fit from me. He’s obviously enjoying himself greatly. Best stuff I’ve heard from the congressman so far.

    I love the improvements the DNC has done in all of the bIack communities all over the country.  It’s been such a wonderful thing to see.  No …. I’m not talking about improving living standards (are you crazy???) … just voter registration …. LMFAO!

    Cause if a bIack man ever breaks the DNC bonds of dependency …. he then becomes a threat to jump Parties … the average bIack conservative towers (in most every conceivable way) over the average bIack libtard who abandoned his child just like 4 out of 5 of his libtard friends.  So to criticize a man for joining the GOP is racist and comical at best.

    The GOP freed the slaves, overturned DNC segregation and DNC Jim Crow Laws and started the civil rights movement with Eisenhower who was routinely filibustered in congress by a majority of DNC racists such as Al Gore Sr and Robert Byrd and Senate majority leader, LBJ …. all racists of the highest order!

    Today, unbelievably, white liberals STILL fully expect all bIack people to vote one way based upon the color of their skin and will tear the skin off any bIack man or woman who dares to leave the DNC plantation … the DNC routinely performs these racist acts in hopes of teaching them a lesson as well as a lesson for all other bIack people to heed. According to the modern day racist DNC … bIack people are NOT ALLOWED to participate in our country’s most beloved and cherished two-party political system …. unbelievable!

    Look kid, you’re extremely naive and you cannot even spell your way out of a paper bag.  Go get out in Philly or Compton or Detroit and point to the successes of 50 years of uninterrupted DNC control.  No bad Republicans have had one iota of influence in these pathetic, cesspool cities for half a century …. why do you think it gets worse by the day??? Crime, unemployment, hopelessness, fatherlessness … you name it … it’s all worse under DNC social and fiscal policies … everyone sitting around waiting on their next govt handout or drug deal … oh my what the DNC has done for the bIack man. These cities are run top to bottom by tards for the last 50 years and it gets worse by the day.  This is what the DNC has to offer the bIack community. Of course this is just an extension of 200 years of DNC abuse, racism and discrimination … no one is surprised here.

    The GOP champions bIacks who make it on their own and the Left hates bIacks who make it on their own and instead champions those bIacks who make it on the back of the govt.  That need for govt is the narrative the Left is obsessed with selling and that is ALL they are selling. Creating straight ticket voters who spend generations in squalor is quite a feat … a real feather in the cap of Saul Alinsky, Cloward and Piven and Margaret Sanger.

    And as such, we pity the fools!

    LTC West will one day be our President, Praise God!  I wish he was running now and show the half breed worthless excuse of a human, Obambi, that a Real Black Man can lead better than a Communist Closet Homosexual!  Sings a lot better than the faggoty voice of the whores son, Barry, thats for sure!

    You make fine sheeple for your white race too.

    You “ordinary” white grassroots liberals make up what is known by your elite masters as the “masses”, and you are are part of what one writer called “dummy votes” in the electorate or citizenry. That’s why the likes of George Soros, Cass Sunstein and Frances Fox Piven do not have to bother leaving comments on the blogosphere, since they have you minions.
