Al Sharpton Reenacts The GOP’s Endorsements Of Mitt Romney…Using Child Actors

Yesterday on PoliticsNation, Rev. Al Sharpton argued that the awkward and hesitant way the former GOP rivals have begun endorsing Mitt Romney reminds him of schoolyard children. He imagined the turnarounds, which some have seen as “creepy,” to be like little kids forced to make up and play nice by their parents. So, as anyone would, he hired a bunch of child actors to give dramatic interpretations.

It was all well and good but, really, we know what’s actually going on here. This is just a sly way to extend the GOP Primary brand. The same way that one baby scene from Muppets Take Manhattan was used to inspire the hugely popular Muppet Babies series, this segment will lead to some kind of GOP Babies spinoff.

I, for one, can’t wait to watch the ongoing misadventures of Baby Bachmann and Little Santorum as they goof around in a nursery run by Ronald Reagan (who we never see except for his red, white, and blue striped socks)! Can I set my DVR now?
