When the commentator becomes the story he's commenting on... well...

please replace with "comedian" and "making jokes".

there was a time when that would get a 12-episode commitment from NBC/ABC/FOX and a 3 picture deal with Warner Bros but whatever.

How many White House visits did Johnny Carson, David Letterman, Jay Leno, Jimmy Kimmel, or Jimmy Fallon make to sit with the president and discuss policy?

The brilliance of Stewart's shtick is that he has been simultaneously been able to play himself off as "just a comedian" while actively pushing an agenda through satire. One in ten millenials trusted Stewart and Colbert more than any other outlet to provide them with information on current events. Those are not just acts. They're very effective information filters for low information hipsters who otherwise would be completely uninvolved in the political process.

Our agenda is better than your agenda.

Do you mean that agenda where you murder all the white people who live in the south?

 
I'm glad you think the quoted statement you made in my sig line is so frolicsome and funny. Again, unserious responses from unserious minds. Kudos, Mr. Stewart.

 
whoa, you are serious. even if the dots you are attempting to connect don't come anywhere close to connecting, that is one fine act of seriousness.

eta: startlingly serious, really.

I kinda love TPW, and I don't think his point or his sig is off.

I think diversity on the board is great. Otherwise, this is tendentious leftism, and boring as ####.

So...sail on, sailor.

 
Well, I'm against his murdering all white people in the south agenda, but I really could use that middle class tax cut.

In my defense, my daydreams of murdering all white people in the south were from the perspective of a Jim Crow-era black man. Now I only daydream about murdering TPW in his sleep. And middle class tax cuts, of course.

Now now, you can't expect TPW to contort his feeble mind enough to comprehend that level of detail. You want to execute all white people in the south. THE END.

He wasn't the only one, just the stupidest. There was one guy in that thread who wondered why there would be such high levels of anger over "just being denied a few rights." Paraphrasing but you can see the total lack of empathy in some of our FBG brethren.

It's only under the blanket of the juvenile, snarky, middle school playground style banter which the resident lefties here such as yourself sling around like so many chimpanzees flinging feces that you can get away with such language. As a result, you're not taken seriously. And rightfully so. Anybody else would be excoriated.

The truth is you're not man enough to put any action behind your words nor will you ever be. Keep dreaming.

King Laetes: I must see this warrior. Bring Hercules to me!

Guard: Bring in Hercules!

[ Hercules is brought in. He is old and flabby ]

King Laetes: So, Hercules, once again, we meet. By the gods! Look at you! You really have let yourself go!

Hercules: Is it that noticeable, Laetes?

King Laetes: Is it noticeable?! I hardly recognized you!

Helena: Well, I think he looks fine.

King Laetes: Silence! So.. the Mighty Hercules! I don't mean to be cruel, but you have really gone downhill!

Hercules: I have not exercised much since the last Olympics. And I've learned, to my sorrow, that if you stop exercising, the muscle turns to fat.

King Laetes: I was going to feed you to the Hydra, the seven-headed dragon.. but looking at you, I have a better idea. You are said to be the strongest man to ever live. I will spare your life, if you can pass a test of strength!

Hercules: Must I pass this test of strength right away?

King Laetes: What do you mean?

Hercules: If I can have a month or two, to get into better condition..

King Laetes: No! Absolutely not! You must the test of strength now! Today!

Hercules: Very well. What is your test?

King Laetes: Do you see that boulder over there? I want you to lift it!

Hercules: That boulder is too large. I could life a smaller one.

King Laetes: So! The Mighty Hercules!

Hercules: In six months I will be able to lift it. Right after I put an end to your despotic rule, Laetes, I plan to start a new regimen - hunting, swimming, eating better.. [ rubbing his belly ] All this will disappear.

Gotta hand it to somebody, this stick is done a lot better than whoever's driving the Mr. Cross bus these days.

 
Was that an actual Arby's commercial? Did they really buy airtime on his show? That's pretty darn funny, and I give credit to whomever at Arby's made that decision.

 
listening to Fresh Air earlier today. they had a clip from their interview last October when Jon was promoting Rosewater. it sure sounded like he was ready to walk away then and there.

I see one person to not take seriously in this run. And it's you.

Wow, I hadn't thought about that Murray skit in a ####### eternity.

 
Big fan of this show, but I thought his last one was a little flat. Maybe I was expecting something as great as Colbert's last, which it didn't touch.
