Don Mischer (director, producer) throws the F word on live national television, during his tirade after the 2004 Democratic National Convention. The balloon drop had problems, and CNN mistakenly brought the control audio feed live as he directed the semi-famous doomed balloon and confetti drop. The anchors try to explain, only adding to the hilarity. Note Jeff Greenfield mentions the failure possibly being a bad omen for the Kerry campaign, similar to a weak balloon drop in New York for Carter in 1980. "We may have heard a profanity, Wolf.."

  • I wish Americans rather cared for issues than ballons. But I guess thats what elections are for. More baloney for the masses.

  • One of the great moments of live television.

  • Forget the war and the economy. All the Democrats need to fix the problem is MORE FUCKING BALLOONS.

  • why the hell was his mic even on!? As a producer, I can understand his frustration. Apparently, that wasn't the only incompetance at the DNC that year. lol

  • well he isn't getting elected we needed balloons fuck

  • HAHAHA ohh man this is great

  • While Americans were concerned with television and entertainment, ignoring important issues, living in their own lala land, 8 years later would prove the dire consequences of such willful ignorance. A false left right paradigm and two party dictatorship controlled by the same banksters known as America would fall to her knees in chains as the economy implodes and slowly collapses as many loose everything. Who do we have to blame for this? Bush? Obama? No, you're to blame, you who allowed this.

  • lol sounds like he's commanding a military operation involving balloons :p

  • RON PAUL 2012 .
