OMG! Who saw Daily Show last night? WTF?
Did you by any chance see the footage of * during the credits? From the Cspan coverage? Where he was sitting next to an African American delegate/senator/member of Congress (not sure who the man was--I'm guessing). * awkwardly and stupidly made inane comments about the state of things for black men in America. I sat here with my mouth agape in total shock that
1)the man actually sat there listening to him hem and haw-- (though he did look rather uncomfortable)

2)* actually said in front of this man and the entire world, "it's not right that things are like this for black men, someone should do something about that..." Um, hello jackass, wouldn't that be you?!

3) that they are still letting him talk in public without a script.
4)that shrub could say anything that pissed me off more than the last time he said something that pissed me off!

Apparently this was footage from a Cspan covered meeting, it ran during the credits so I'm not sure what it was from.

Did anyone see this? Was it shown during the Daily Show? I was intermittently watching and wasn't sure if it was aired during the course of the show.

Anyone?

1. Yup, we saw it.

Look here.

This wasn't just any meeting--it was another "town hall meeting" in which the whole "town" consisted of prescreened bushites who were there to ask softball questions in order to create the appearance of "growing support" for their Social Security-cide plan.

Disgusting. :puke:

4. Yes I tape Jon's shows. This was on the daily show last evening. It is
also on again tonight at 6:00 p.m. Central time (Kansas City area).
I don't know where it was from...but it disgusted me also and I wish mainstream media would give us the truth.

Oh THIS segment plays again ALSO at 10:30 after his 10:00 show tonite.

5. Yes! The Daily Show has the guts to show this stuff....
it was from Bush's "Social Security Forum"....Jon laughed because it was so pathetic. I had the same reaction. You laugh because it is so BAD you don't know what else to do....beyond being bad, the actual plan is disastrous. I guess it's sort of like facing death when you watch Bush in action...

10. I felt so bad for the man
sitting right next to him--the black man. He seemed to visibly cringe a bit when Bush started his 'what a black man needs' talk. But knowing now he was a bushite then he deserved it. He deserves to sit there and look stupid and feel uncomfortable for supporting THAT.

I wish I could send that footage to every black man that supported the idiot. Then again, they would probably STILL find a way to derive another meaning from what he so obviously said. A way to make it look less offensive. Bushies are SO good at that.

Or they'd just say, no that's not what he said--even though we all can plainly see and hear what he said. They would continue to deny it.

Dumb, dumb, dumb!

Oh and I am pissed at the mainstream media too. They are glorified, gossip columnists. They would rather report safe, fluff pieces like Brad and Jen seperating. Who gives a......

Grrrrrrr!

That clip was absolutely hilarious! The thing that was funniest about it was the reaction of the black guy sitting right next to *. He lifted his mic, as if he had something to add, then lowered the mic, shrugged & noded as if to say "yeah... he's right"

* is such an ass...
