Hehe, yes that is very good :-)

Meh.

Perhaps you had to be there.

I just heard this morning that he's going to be the new host of "The Daily Show."

4 of 4 Moynihan.

A careful reading of Iowahawk's Monday timeline suggests something less than flattery.

But then, I was never that impressed with Stewart as a comedian (or a political thinker), either.

It's kind of reassuring to think that Comedy Central fucked up the interregnum.

To wit, so to speak, three minutes ago.

'Hawk

'Hawk.

This guy isn't gonna make it to TV. Stewart's principle and intelligence may have been pretense, but his (prissy) audience will still be expecting a genuine verbal talent in the time slot:

But — I’m sorry to be the skunk at the garden party — “The Daily Show” always had limited appeal; it just happens that the appeal included the New York media elite.

Stewart largely appeals to wealthy and well-educated liberals — a small slice of the overall news audience.

Heh. Let's try it ee cummings-style.

You haven't lived until you've sat on a giant Ducati, that sounds like someone is continuously lighting large sticks of dynamite, at Main and Packard in Ann Arbor, and seen that Every Single Light on your path from there to East Kingsley is Green-Green-Green, which means that Every Single pedestrian crossing light is Red-Red-Red, and set off, in the sure and certain knowledge that, at Every Single Intersection along the way, some AA hipster pedestrian (silly-ass Peruvian hat with the dingleberries, I-pod earbuds surgically grafted, white-boy dreads, mud-colored fair-trade indigenously-woven pashmina, head down in a pamphlet about social justice) is actually waiting-lurking-hoping to saunter out into the middle of the road at the exact moment that you approach, because, after all, the lights are Just A Suggestion.

People who disobey traffic signals (whether afoot or a-wheel) should be shot on the spot and their bodies dumped in the gutter, as a warning to others.

llater,

llamas

Yeah, this guy is done.

But it didn't even take 24 hours; less than 10 hours after Amy introduced him to my consciousness, his career was cooked.

The problem wasn't even so much with the guy, but with the Comedy Central executive without the taste or clarity to recognize the kind of talent he needed to hire.

"Stewart largely appeals to wealthy and well-educated liberals"

Meanwhile, Hannity, Beck, and Limbaugh appeal to poverty-stricken poorly-educated conservatives?

Sure. Why not.

What you describe, Goggles, is a better grasp of the populace than what we hear from those who've confused that TV studio with Foggy Bottom.

Shit fuck, I am incredibly good at blog comments.

Seriousballs, you people owe me shit.

I want a certificate for dinner for two at a (participating) Red Lobster™ restaurant.

Get the picture?

I'm good at this. You owe me stuff.

Stuff eh? How about some lightly used South African traffic lights?

No!






(considering probability of higher/appropriate award)






OK! But I want 'em delivered on a weekday MORNING.

His opening minute here is a lot like Eddie Izzard.

Another for Gog.
