Letterman on Bush "I'm really going to miss that guy"

[heidiho]

I have to hand it to Letterman. He is doing a one-man bashing of Bush and has been for the past several months in earnest. Every night, night after night, he shows a segment of Bush looking like a moron giving a speech (he uses the "raw" footage) and then smirks afterwards.

Last night, he showed the segment "Bush explains 24/7" and then Bush is speaking at an event and says "24/7, 24/7, it means 24 hours a day, seven days a week" When the segment ended, Dave says "You know, I'm really going to miss that guy" and the audience went wild.

He showed Poppy Bush skydiving and said that his son's poll numbers are falling faster than Poppy on Monday night.

All in all, he will be a great help in our efforts to get Bush back to Crawford. I LOVE DAVE!!

1. Glad to see he finally came around...

:-)

2. Oh he has always been here

But as with most liberals he tried to play fair. He would dis both the left and the right equally. But when Leno came out pumping for the right and Ahhnold, Dave took the gloves off.

8. Yup, True That

Dave's always been in our corner...

3. And when Letterman broke for commercial...

...on came an ad for Fahrenheit 9/11.

4. Bush insults my intelligence

The Gore haters said Gore talked down to them, I find that Bush sounds like he is talking down to me most of the time. It may be because he is trying to enunciate properly, but it still sounds like he is making an effort to speak s-l-o-w-l-y so that I can understand him. Then he comes up with the definition of some commonly used phrase and really insults my intelligence

6. YES! I've been working on my George W. impersonation, and I

found that he has a tone in his voice as if he is trying to explain some simple thing to a recalcitrant 8 year old.

"Didja hear . . . what I said? Didja? I told ya to put it in yer pocket? Didja? Didja do . . . what I told ya?"

Drives me nuts to listen to him . . .

7. Yup...

..."and that means"..."what I'm saying"...

I've noticed that he feels the need to explain the simplest of shit. Is it because he doesn't understand what he says, or because he thinks we don't? Or maybe he's just a dumbass. I hate his manner of speaking.

[JHB]

10. He just assumes that if HE needed it explained to him...

...everybody else does.

That's one of the reasons why he hates "intellectuals" and people who "flaunt" (i.e., use) their education: he doesn't believe anyone is smarter than him, so if they act that way it's just a bullshit superiority act.

Thus ends today's lesson in amateur remote psychoanalysis :evilgrin:

14. LOL, that is it exactly

Did you ever have a little kid do that to you. In a 4 year old it is cute.

5. That was hilarious

My husband and I fell out laughing. The response of the audience was great. I'm glad somebody else caught it.

[spooky3]

13. me too--I almost never laugh out loud at the TV but that one

was a jolt! }(

9. Dave Is Viacom/Infinity...And Has Been Great!

He's CBS's nightly revenge for Janet Jackson & the Raygun movie and Stern's fines and the stupid crap with CNN & the anty Repugnican kid in Florida. There's a lot going on here and I love it.

Dave wouldn't be doing what he is without the blessings of the corporates...also the same folks who've given Richard Clarke, Seymour Hirsh and soon Sybil Emmonds (hope I spelt her name right) a voice on 60 minutes. They also own MTV that is Rockin' the vote big time against the regime and will be a valuable ally when Blockbuster video has a big pre-election sale on Fahrenheit 911 DVDs :evilgrin:

Also, the folks at CBS are seeing how popular Stewart and TDS has become and they "dovetail" Dave's show right into that one (notice the first run of TDS is just before Dave in most markets...and the West coast replay is also right before Dave...nice :grin:). This is just one step in several as Viacom/CBS/Infinity moves to grab what we all know is a large and growing anti-Bush audience.

BTW...the Top 10 list Dave did on Poppy's plane jump was a classic as well.

11. His own company, Worldwide Pants, owns his show.

"Dave the Brave, the hands-down leader when it comes to unabashed Bush bashing"

(snip)
Unlike Leno's Tonight Show, which is owned by NBC, Letterman's Late Show is owned by Dave's company, Worldwide Pants, which affords him near-total immunity from corporate pressure. But to Viacom's credit, says Burnett, "They leave us alone. They know better than to tell Dave what to do. They know it's futile."

12. I loved that line too--it was unexpected and SO effective!!

15. He was working on Bush before that 2000 election

He asked Dim-son to appear on his show just like he had Gore on but Bush said no so he kept a daily tracking chart of him, it was funny as hell.
