gilbar said...: does she Always affect such airs?
I think she tries Too Hard. Let your craziness emanate on its own, don't force it; 8/14/19, 12:53 PM
Bay Area Guy said...: Hot chick with a great sense of humor!

It is stirring the gnostic passions within me.; 8/14/19, 12:53 PM
JackWayne said...: This is the sort of satire/ over the top impersonation that SNL was once good at.; 8/14/19, 12:56 PM
Wince said...: She needs a set of tongs!

"Marianne Williamson escapes the paw-like grip of Bill Maher."

Williamson reminds me of that caller in Talk Radio, Denise, who drones on the the background.

BARRY: Denise! Lemme get this straight. You’re afraid of the garbage disposal in your mother’s kitchen?

traditionalguy said...: Elect Marianne the Magician. Free spells and Tarot cards for all. And unlike Witch Hillary, she is a looker.; 8/14/19, 1:09 PM
wild chicken said...: Looney.

The camera loves her tho.

And she loves the camera!; 8/14/19, 1:12 PM
I Callahan said...: I can no longer read that name without thinking of the Leonard Cohen song.

I keep thinking of the song where the girl was down by the seaside sifting sand...; 8/14/19, 1:16 PM
Maillard Reactionary said...: She's wiggling around a lot. I wonder what's on her chair.; 8/14/19, 1:16 PM
Freeman Hunt said...: That's great.; 8/14/19, 1:31 PM
Lucid-Ideas said...: Her impression makes Williamson seem hot, crazy and fuckable.

Therefore, with the exception of crazy it's an extremely poor impression.; 8/14/19, 1:33 PM
vanderleun said...: STANDING OVULATION!!!; 8/14/19, 1:35 PM
rhhardin said...: Typical powerful woman.; 8/14/19, 1:35 PM
rhhardin said...: Power eyelashes.; 8/14/19, 1:36 PM
CJinPA said...: I have yet to hear Williamson or nearly any of the Democratic candidates speak.; 8/14/19, 1:36 PM
Xmas said...: Is it weird that turned me on a little...; 8/14/19, 1:46 PM
rehajm said...: I have yet to hear Williamson or nearly any of the Democratic candidates speak.

It took me a minute to realize it was an impersonation, too. How could so much crazy be so attractive?

I was starting to noodle on the Hot/Presidential Matrix™.; 8/14/19, 1:47 PM
Etienne said...: I started scratching my balls before I played this. Then I started scratching my penis. Finally I started picking my nose, and then right in the middle of that, a feeling came over me, my legs got weak, and I squirmed a bit and then...

...I sneezed.; 8/14/19, 1:50 PM
madAsHell said...: "the collective hate conscience"

It's like yelling fire at the Paranoid Theater.; 8/14/19, 1:51 PM
Nichevo said...: I'd vote for her. She'd have to put out first though.; 8/14/19, 2:06 PM
Lucid-Ideas said...: $500 billion in reparations is a real boner killer. You could put up with more crazy, say between $100-$200 billion, but the cost/benefit goes way down after that.

Think of the emotional anguish. Is it worth $500 billion to break both the treasury and your heart? No says I.; 8/14/19, 2:06 PM
chuck said...: I keep thinking of the song where the girl was down by the seaside sifting sand

Me too. In fifth grade I had a crush on a girl named Marianne...; 8/14/19, 2:07 PM
Narr said...: I'd hit that.

Then I'd flee; 8/14/19, 2:08 PM
rehajm said...: Some of her stuff falls flat but I like this one, too...

Public School wrecked Mary Ann for a few generations. What is sifting sand anyways?; 8/14/19, 2:10 PM
Lucid-Ideas said...: Among her first priorities is renaming military awards and decorations

- The congressional medal of the honored matron
- Purple heart chakra
- Distinguished tie-dyeing cross
- Silver star trek
- Presidential unit Venusian
- Pour le merite de aquarious; 8/14/19, 2:16 PM
Kevin said...: America, I can see why you might fall in love with her.

But for God's sake...

...before this goes too much further...

...get a prenup!; 8/14/19, 2:18 PM
Earnest Prole said...: I'd prefer not to fall into that chick's Uncanny Valley.; 8/14/19, 2:21 PM
n.n said...: Feminine beauty?; 8/14/19, 2:22 PM
Jack Rackim said...: Watched the video twice. Won’t add any new comment but will say I agree with all other comments.; 8/14/19, 2:27 PM
FullMoon said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 8/14/19, 2:27 PM
mccullough said...: She sounds like Mae West; 8/14/19, 2:28 PM
Infinite Monkeys said...: Cure impersonation, but more of a caricature than a mimic. I think Marianne has a more pleasant voice.; 8/14/19, 2:41 PM
Infinite Monkeys said...: I can't tell from the comments if people know that's not Marianne.; 8/14/19, 2:43 PM
rehajm said...: I can't tell from the comments if people know that's not Marianne

In the grand scheme of things and with the exception of the sexy part, it won't matter much.; 8/14/19, 2:56 PM
Bay Area Guy said...: Raise your hand if you thought that this actually was Marianne Williamson. Honor system.

Wishing you gnostic peace and harmony....; 8/14/19, 2:59 PM
stlcdr said...: I had to google images of Marianne Williamson (since this caricature was done by a seemingly young person).

I cannot believe that there are photos that make her look 95 years old and others that make her look early 40's.; 8/14/19, 3:09 PM
Skeptical Voter said...: I'm going with Earnest Prole. That woman looks like 110 pounds of pure misery on the hoof---nice to look at, but like the old Coaster Song "Poison Ivy" goes, you can look but you better not touch.; 8/14/19, 3:12 PM
Sebastian said...: She didn't quite nail it, but I did feel the spiritual connection.; 8/14/19, 3:13 PM
Narr said...: I knew that wasn't Marianne, she didn't have a boob exposed. Oh.

Narr
Never mind me; 8/14/19, 3:16 PM
rcocean said...: I wonder how much she weighs. She looks like a social X-ray.; 8/14/19, 3:46 PM
rcocean said...: Eating and then throwing up. I wouldn't be surprised.; 8/14/19, 3:47 PM
gspencer said...: Her manicure needs some work.; 8/14/19, 3:49 PM
Heartless Aztec said...: Professional make up and probably a touch of plastic surgery. She's good to go. As for the rest of her schtick - eh. At 66 my dick no longer does my thinking for me. As Robin Williams once said on Johnny Carson: "Men have two brains, but only enough blood to work one at a time."
Badda boom - badda bing.; 8/14/19, 4:04 PM
donald said...: I don’t care who she is, she’s totally hot to me.; 8/14/19, 4:06 PM
Chuck said...: Somebody seems interested in interestingness.; 8/14/19, 4:45 PM
h said...: Isn't there some instagram rule prohibiting satire aimed at Democrats?; 8/14/19, 5:17 PM
tcrosse said...: Meanwhile Tom Steyer is cluttering the airwaves with ads. Is America ready for a President who looks like the Scarecrow in Wizard of Oz?; 8/14/19, 5:19 PM
Glen Filthie said...: FFS Althouse.

When you post shite like this I gotta wonder: “Am I not getting this because I am dumb as a post... or because our blog hostess is crazier than a shit house rat?”

Looking like this one is on me... but still, do ya gotta rub a guy’s nose in it?; 8/14/19, 5:35 PM
Jupiter said...: Let's give this woman the nuclear football!; 8/14/19, 5:50 PM
Titus said...: She's kind of hot; 8/14/19, 6:53 PM
PM said...: 1. Corny effort, sorry to say.

2. tcrosse: Wonder if 'ol Tom Steyer is still making money off this -
