CROSSFIRE: Begala and Carlson to discuss Jon's appearance

[Tesibria]

... coming up sometime this hour.

[XanaDUer]

1. Ugh, discussing Inez Tannenbaum now

Ick.

[tishaLA]

2. They know it's the only interesting thing ever on their show

So they'll talk about it until their audience recedes to the pre-Stewart level.

[maveric]

3. Fuck them both!

They'll just sit there and tell each other how "out of line" Jon was, and how wrong he is about the media.
I think that I-Max is around that time, I'll watch that

[Tropez]

4. DVR/TiVo it!

[Tesibria]

5. yep

I will do this -- but have no way of hosting it -- so will need to get it to someone who can. Assuming there's anything "interesting" of course.

[Tropez]

25. I can host it. Just give me the file. [e-mail]

[Tesibria]

30. THANK YOU

it's on its way

[Tropez]

31. HERE IS THE VIDEO

6. Pence: weapons of mass destruction programs...

uh, or thought about how to pronounce the word nukular...

Pence is one of the sponsors of the "Constitution Restoration Act" which is an attempt to destroy the separation of church and state by taking power away from the judiciary, making judges open to impeachment if the go against the statement that God is the source of our laws.

ugh.

[geniph]

7. "We are too journalists,

no matter what that big meanie Jon Stewart says! wah wah wah!"

There, I saved everyone the trouble of actually listening to them bitch about Jon giving them what-for.

[luaneryder]

14. Thank you, I didn't want to put myself thru it

[gatorboy]

8. What's sad and what they still don't get...

Is this is exactly what Jon was talking about. They would rather discuss fluff then real issues.....

But I figure they are just like O'Reilly. If there's a guest that really gets him, he'll play it over and over until he feels like he's changed your mind that he won the argument...

[Cat Atomic]

9. Why didn't they just discuss it with Stewart while he was there?

Then they could devote today's show to covering real news.

Oh that's right- they're hacks.

[Shakespeare]

10. God forbid they engage in a little introspection.

Hacks. :eyes:

[OneTwentyoNine]

11. I got an idea...discuss Novak you pussies....

Tucker got his face slapped and his ass kicked but he wants to keep the conversation going without Stewart present.

Your one tuff little fucker, bowtie...

David

[Eloriel]

15. No need to inject sexism into this

There are other words, gender-neutral, that are just as effective as calling them "pussies."

DU has a policy against sexism.

[Zhade]

29. Besides, "cowards" fit them better.

NT!

[politicat]

32. We of the XX Chromosomial type REJECT _ucker, thank you.

Don't make us take him. He's purportedly XY. We have nothing to do with him.

(Which may be why he wears those stupid bowties and looks like he's got a perpetual problem beneath those preppie dockers... but I digress...)

Pcat

[dogtag]

12. Harold Ford was really good today and the

'boys' were more subdued than usual. Trying to act like journalists? They've got a long way to go, but you have to start somewhere.

[Maestro]

13. Whatever they say

we need to innudate them with mail in support of Stewart and against the shills on the right, especially Douchebag! He said yesterday that Stewart was uninformed and not funny. Talk about an idiot!

[Tesibria]

16. o - my - ... uhm....

that was about the lamest -- and stoopidist response I have EVER heard.

and -- of course -- proves the point entirely!!

[tishaLA]

17. More pathetic than expected

You thought they'd have thought of somethig witty in the intervening days. But they looked even more like chickenshits than before.

[Robbie67]

18. Lame

very lame

[w4rma]

19. More proof that Jon Stewart is correct. Cover the news, you dips. (nt)

[Eloriel]

20. Boy, was THAT lame

I am seriously underwhelmed. I thought they'd at least have some a thoughtful and intelligent response. But no, just "but look at what HE did" -- unbelievable.

[gratuitous]

21. Call it the Mulligan Show

"Okay, Jon Stewart sand-bagged us by being reasonable and intelligent. For the next half hour, what we shoulda said! Watch as we argue against an inanimate object (videotape of Jon Stewart kicking our collective keister) and win, Win, WIN!"

[Technowitch]

22. Figures...

Those two dweebs'll argue about Jon's 'misbehavior' and completely miss the point of what he said.

Some people never learn

[Kagemusha]

23. Someone tell the rest of us what they said please.

Thank you kindly.

Unlike Jon, I've boycotted CNN for years, for my health.

[0007]

24. El Paso

[ArtVandaley]

26. What exactly did they say?

I just got home and I missed it.

(sorry -- can't figure out how to make it play on the site, but you can download it and watch with windows media player.)

[Tesibria]

28. they didn't say much

... chastised Jon for using the term "dick"
-- then Paul chanted "Jon is a uvula, Jon is a uvula" --
-- then Paul and Carlson went on a "sardonic" rant about how they're to blame for all the troubles in the world
-- then Paul that Jon succeeded in uniting the left and right (presumably, against him).

Gotta see it to get the whole story.

[grasswire]

33. yeah...

...it was very juvenile. I expect that from Tucker, but it was surprising from Paul. I guess I have overestimated him all these years. There doesn't seem to be much substance.

[MisterP]

34. uvula? is marshmallow-head Begala on crack?!
