I worked at a news station in 1993 and saw George Stephanopoulos fucking around all goofy.

If you have ever watched a satellite feed of some statement by the White House or whatever, you'll know that you sometimes get to see some stuff before the official statement that a lot of people don't get to. One example is the prepping of George W. Bush* before his announcement of the initial attack in Iraq War II.

In the summer of 1993 I interned at a local TV station and got to see such feeds. Bill Clinton had launched a little attack on Iraq for some kinda stuff, like lobbed a bunch of missles over there, for what I don't remember. I don't remember being that upset about it at the time or anything so there might have been a reason, whatever. But I also got to see George Stephanopoulos - at least I think it was him - fucking around all goofy, leaning over to be on camera unshaven goofing with his tie holding it up and basically hamming it up all asshat-diculous like it's such a wankish thrill to be on the blasted TV for crying out loud. Bill Clinton was cranky and was quietly scolding people too, but not like a leader who expects superior performance from his entrusted team, more like some red-faced overcashed buttfinger complaining that there are too many noodles in his soup at a fancy restaurant.

This is my experience, and I want the world to know it.

1. Stephanopolous rubs me wrong...he seems like a weasel

[LoZoccolo]

2. I saw some interview with him where he embarassedly spoke about going to discos in the late 70s.

He was in college and you know what that means: he used the word "poon-tang" or "titties" or "clit" (three words that women hate) when discussing pre-game strategy more than once, probably at least once per visit. I want someone to ask him about all that shit if we're going to be talking about the fucking Weather Underground fucking 40 fucking years after the fucking fact (fucking A).

3. The whole debate was a hatchet job

A very sad display of "journalism". I think he and Charlie each had a copy of the National En-(In?)-quirer in front of them to get their questions

5. Did they ask you to...

Sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement when you got that job?

Cuz those things follow you to the grave, you know;)

6. Actually they didn't but it was the White House that broadcasted the feed.

It can probably be picked up by anyone. I could see them even putting it on enough satellites to cover the world.

11. He interviewed Carter last week and Carter kept saying

"you're not old enough to remember" and George kept denying it- but the events Carter was referencing had to have taken place when he was pretty young. And his personality makes him seem like an eternal child.

12. HA!

I love how you tell your story! :rofl:
