1. Such a waste

Just from watching that, the guy does have some talent to him. A decent sense of timing and pace, and how to hit the notes of absurdist humor. it's just that he's stirred that sweet molten milk chocolate comedy into the mayonnaise of conservative polemics.

[immoderate]

2. Michael Loftus, eh? I'll remember that name.

When I'm in the mood for good conservative comedy.

[Mr.Bill]

3. Conservative Comedy

Because it's worked so well for Dennis Miller's career.

[cprise]

4. And of course DU

...is front and center posting it, making it rise in search engine rankings.

[MADem]

6. Look at how many thumbs-down it earned at YT. Not all publicity is good publicity. nt

[MADem]

5. Wowza. That's just awful. I mean, gut-wrenchingly, fetidly stinking, awful.

There's nothing that can solve that mess.

[zebonaut]

9. thats why they added all the canned laughter......

[OnyxCollie]

7. I watched the whole clip.

I'm never going to get those seven minutes back again.

I could've cleaned the coffee grounds out of my French press!

[toddwv]

10. I made it through about 4 minutes...

Such fresh and current material... from 2005. Lol.

[indivisibleman]

14. Excellent point.

we were thinking the same thing. We never heard of this guy before and we wondered if it was a comedy routine from 2005!

[Enthusiast]

18. I love my French Press. Conservative comedians, not so much.

[Stryder]

25. Heaven help me,

I watched the whole thing too. Hypnotized by the train wreck that is right wing "humor."
And I'm fresh out of Brain Bleach. I'd gladly give up seven more minutes to
unsee that.

[Delver Rootnose]

8. And he is whining about...

...money missing in NOL. I await his "comedy" about the billions that went missing in Iraq.

Conservative and funny are mutually exclusive it seems.

[OnyxCollie]

11. But money missing in NO lends itself to shaming black people

and conservatives find that hilarious.

"Look, liberals! Here's your black hero, Ray Nagin. He's in prison, 'cause he's a thief! Ha ha!"

13. Ok so I suffered through all that

just to see if there was anything slightly funny. There wasn't a thing. Plus he insulted Cajuns, Louisianans, Kentuckians etc.
The whole thing was awful.

[dballance]

15. What a total Fuck. Typical Riech-Winger.

He managed to insult the people of New Orleans and Kentucky.

He managed to downplay the horrible conditions that followed hurricane Katrina. People in LA had really difficult times and still do and here is this ass making fun of them.

I'd like to see how he'd fair if we set him down in a devastated landscape with no utilities, no water like after Katrina.

Yep, government wasn't the answer to Katrina because government didn't do shit to help people. Thanks G. W. asshole and Brownie.

[Botany]

22. Our great liberal media almost never brings up that:

Money for the levies and pumps that was o.k.ed never got their because it went to
the war in Iraq.

The Louisiana National Guard and their amphibious vehicles were in Iraq.

And that 2,000 people died because of Katrina but Hurricane Sandy which hit
a much more heavly populated area only killed 100 .... the difference was that
Obama worked before, during, and after the storm but Little Boots, aka w, didn't
do shit

[Kalidurga]

16. That was terrible

and I am ridiculously easy to make laugh.

[Monk06]

17. Hired audiance, shitty set, faux working class clothes, sarcasm and race stereotyping masking

as humor.

That's conservative comedy alright. Gratingly mean, stunted and unfunny.

That's why Dice Clay is so popular with conservatives but can't buy a spot on any talk show.

[Enthusiast]

19. I tried to watch it. No way.

It reminded me of the rest of the contrived conservative comedy.

Fake audience.

I turned it off when the asshole said the answer for New Orleans was to cut taxes—the universal conservative solution for any problem.

[TRoN33]

20. I think I'm going to have PTSD because of this...

[Botany]

21. I couldn't finish it

The first rule for comedy is you have to try to be funny on some kind of level.

[yuiyoshida]

23. His cousin is Glenn Beck right?

tell me its,so!

[WhoIsNumberNone]

24. Even the studio audience doesn't think he's funny

Personally I find video s of turds sitting in toilets more entertaining than this guy- but then I'm not a conservative...

[enki23]

26. Presumably he's led with his best stuff

Because it sure as hell wasn't "topical." And that means... he's got nothing. Jesus Christ, that was lame. "How bout that government, eh? Eh? It sure sucks, amirite? Stupid government."

[Turbineguy]

27. Simple solutions

for the simple minded.

And they fit on a bumpersticker!

[Gothmog]

28. This guy is weak compared to Stewart but better than Fox's Half Hour News Hour

Does anyone remember when fox News sunk a great deal of money into a project to copy Jon Stewart and the Daily Show? It was very very bad and established the fact that conservatives can not understand satire. Here is a clip from this horrible show

[toddwv]

29. That's not hard.

For pure comedic value, Fox News's news is funnier than the 1/2 Hour News Hour.

[rocktivity]

30. Talking points served up with revisionism

He runs the same game in this DU thread where he purportedly "fixes" the GOP. Once again, he spins a false history where "the government" rather than "the republican president who was in office" is the villain. Then he throws in an additional lie about Obama for the sake of being "fair and balanced." And the moral of the story? "Don't believe that governments can create jobs." And what's with the lower middle class man cave decor?

[YOHABLO]

31. Well I couldn't get any sound .. so I guess that's a good thing.

This thing about Republicans on job creation. We all know what their game is: obstruct any legislation that would fund any job creation and then blame government for not doing anything about job creation.
