9. He pushed the "Kerry is Boring" meme in 2004 like there was no tomorrow. Before the 06 Midterms
Edited on Wed Nov-03-10 03:49 PM by emulatorloo
he showed a cartoon that had the message of "Midterm elections are boring and unimportant, so don't bother"

He's constructed a persona of himself as "cynical snarky nothing really matters". He's a comedian, so why not? But he gets trapped in that persona sometimes. That's why I think he did not bother to tell people to Vote at the rally.

He is the best damn interviewer out there, but again he has this persona that keeps him in "cynical snarky nothing matters mode." Do I honestly believe this is how he feels? No.

I love his show, I love his interviewing skills. But this persona he's trapped in is worth examining.
