1. Brilliant.

[Raven]

2. Fabulous! Made my day! I love Weiner. n/t

[WingDinger]

3. Wait, wait, don't tell me, tongue in cheek, or weiner up their pitooties?

[onehandle]

4. 'Cah Talk? It's a Car, it's a Car.'

Our long national nightmare is over!

That'll create jobs.

[Peregrine Took]

5. I wish he was the president. What a guy and he's not afraid to let you know

where he stands on the issues.

[perdita9]

6. Republicans deserve to be mocked

This has nothing to do with saving money or creating jobs. It's nothing but a bunch of political payback.

Maybe John Boehner can take to the floor and cry about how the Democrats are picking on him.

[spooked911]

7. Genius

will any conservatives get the joke though?

[howmad1]

9. Get the joke? Are you kidding.

Conservative assholes will seriously thank the lord that Click and Clack are no longer around to destroy the American way of life.

[elleng]

8. WUNNERFUL!

Will have to be sure to listen this weekend!!!

[DemocraticPilgrim]

10. There's not much else you can do with GOP nonsense.

[pacalo]

11. EMERGENCY session to get rid of NPR while Limpballs et al spew hate talk untouched.

Only in an upside-down legislature.

[idrahaje]

15. Humor is the best medicine. Get rid of Godfry for making a failed attempt at humor.

Yet Hate mongers are still on the air. Seriously anyone look at Godfry's tweets before I guess whatever he said offensive. Big tall scary looking black man next to him. Look at photo.. oh he's just having a ball. I would have serious doubts that he hated the black guy.

Bleh Aflac killed it's duck and rightly so.

have no clue who click and clack or smack and whatever are. Shall we go for Red Green. I'm guessing if we started saying Republicans wanna ban Red Green they'll lose the south :P defund NPR is to defund PBS.. PUBLIC broadcasting station zzz PUBLIC!!!! Yes the Public whats republicans to defund their Public station.. zzzzzzz. Top priority. Lose more jobs. Just go to Wisconsin where there'll definitely be more jobs lost. Which might be a problem because it's in a state of anarchy. Flagrant law breaking. Wild west Wisconsin. The defunct Unicorn in Middleton would be dismayed..

19. That is the point. Eliminate competition.

Oh yes it is governmentally funded but then Rush is on Armed Forces Radio - did they stop that funding? will he donate his show to AFN?

[2banon]

12. Did this REALLY happen?

Did the House actually vote to defund NPR today?

edited for correction..

[GoCubsGo]

13. Yes.

[The Wielding Truth]

14. Senate should vote to de-power this idiotic republican congress.

It would be an unconstitutional move much like Bush, Walker,and any crazy Right Winger feels they have the omnipotent right to do. Just vote the majority and take away their right to cast votes and govern. They are too stupid to make rational decisions and they are not acting in the public's interest. De-power them. They are either totally corrupt or totally ignorant. Either way they cannot be trusted to make decisions for our country.

[peacetalksforall]

16. Emergency. Imagine. Here I am who stopped/reduced donations for budget reasons - but mostly

because I become furious about the turn from what I thought was neutral to the right after the Helms, Thurmond, Burton, Republican attack on NPR in ???? (year?).

I had to stop listening to certain news and political commentary shows. I became furious. Even segments that weren't political would turn me off. And their executive level bias to the right would have me spinning.

So for a few years I would only send 2/7ths - proportionate to the weeto cover the weekend programs.

So hear I am furious that they are right wing and Republicans STILL think that NPR is left leaning - EVEN AFTER HELMS THRUMOND BURTON AND OTHERS WON xxxx number of years ago.

Sick sick sick - they are sick.
Emergency - the gall of them.

Emergency = to ride off the backs of the O'Keefe/Breitbart win?

[felinetta]

17. This should be played on every TV news show. Shame on the Repigs.

[nolabear]

18. God, I can't wait to hear what they have to say about this!

"Get rid of my brother!"
"No, get rid of MY brother!"

[Ramulux]

20. Brutal

This is one of the greatest things I have ever seen.

[savalez]

21. LOL. Hell yeah! Great stuff.

I really like him. NY 9th must be proud.

[in_cog_ni_to]

22. BRILLIANT! Weiner for President!

:bounce:

[Beartracks]

23. Thank God - Click and Clack's $billion salaries...

... were bankrupting this country. It was obscene.

And to think we considered them too large to fail and almost gave them bailout money. Thank God again that we didn't fall into THAT trap.

:eyes:

[Guilded Lilly]

24. I HEART him. (as my Facebook niece would say)

[Lifelong Protester]

25. Oh NO!! Heywood U. Buzzoff will be off the public payroll!!

This guy Weiner is so damn brilliant!!

LOVE HIM!!

[Lifelong Protester]

26. Actually it's the 'kudos to you' remark at the end that has me LMAO

[Buenaventura]

[oneAngryOhioDem]

30. Spot On!

However, I don't know that "conservatives" would even get it.

[AnneD]

31. The guy's tongue....

Is sharper than a gensui knife....you know the one, cuts through cans, frozen GOP hearts, and can still slice through a juicy red ripe tomato.

[vicarofrevelwood]

32. Weiner has a biting satirical wit. But,

The Up side of this is NPR now owes the G.O.P. absolutely nothing! For the remainder of the year it's truth time. This whole thing May be more blow-back for the G.O.P.

[DCofVA]

33. Did you hear all the laughter? Republicans have no sense of humor

Those poor bastards. Life without humor is hell!

[HopeHoops]

34. Yeah, but the GOP still employs Dewey Cheatum & Howe

[Enthusiast]

35. Excellent!

Asshole Republicans.

[BeliQueen]

36. I love Car Talk and I don't even own a car.

I love sitting in bed Saturday morning listening to the fascinating things people go through for their automobiles.

When my first niece turned 16, I bought her an emergency car kit for her birthday and told her to start listening to them.

So glad Republicans have their priorities straight.

[NewJeffCT]

40. yeah, but they talk in Boston accents

So, that makes them bad...

[big lu]

37. K&R

[kanda]

38. Weiner is great

He has a gift of wit and sarcasm that I admire. Kudos to him for sure.

[syberlion]

39. Weiner Mocks GOP, That's the thing he's revealing the GOP

Weiner is taking up where Allen Grayson was, telling the world that the Republicans have no plan. With Grayson it was health care, Weiner about the "seriousness" of de-funding NPR. Mocking is to attack or treat with ridicule, contempt, or derision. True, that fits here, but it's more that he is revealing, to lay open to view; display; exhibit. (both sited from Dictionary.com)

We need a whole congressional delegation of people like Weiner and Grayson. Unfortunately, with Citizen's United, we will see millions of corporate dollars poured into the next election to defeat real Americans like they did with Grayson. The Repubs only work if they can work in secret, they only function if they can hide their true nature. So they will go after those revealing with gusto and zeal. Is Grayson still in Congress?

We are near a tipping point in this country. When you have Comcast merging to control not only the media, but the actual delivery system (internet), that Repubs would go after NPR. The ink isn't even dry on the merger and corporate media is going after the last media outlet they can't control the message.

The people's uprisings in Egypt, Iran, and Tunisia, all were powered by people communicating through sources not controlled by a powerful few. Oh they tried, but it was too late. With few hands now on the pipeline, who's to say if DU all of a sudden has massive slow-downs and 404 errors? Net neutrality is one of the few ways to save this dwindling Democracy.

I am heartened by the demonstrations in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Ohio, but this has to translate to votes, period. We can not stop until these secretive, evil (yes, I said it), un-American repubs are removed from the halls of our government. By the way, I can say un-American because of the Governor in Michigan putting forth the plan to assign his people to go into local governments to dissolve them? That's what the King of England did before this country was founded, it was one of the reasons we declared our independence!!! So yes, these idiots are un-patriotic and un-American and for that should be removed from office!!!

[Frisbee]

41. Kudos indeed! n/t

[colsohlibgal]

42. Weiner Rocks!

He is one of the far too few in congress who gets the whole picture - and he can be pretty funny as well, he was great on "Real Time".

[SoapBox]

43. Anthony...You are my FAVORITE Weiner!

hehe

Go Man Go!

[damonm]

44. Nowhere NEAR as much snark as they deserve...

Personally, I'd have pulled out Big Bird and Elmo - pointing out the HORRID threat they represent...

[bvar22]

45. We need MORE of this.

We could use some from the Democratic Party Leadership too.




Who will STAND UP and represent THIS American Majority?
Platitudes, Rhetoric, Empty Promises, and Excuses are meaningless now.

"By their WORKS you will know them,"
And by their WORKS they will be held accountable.

[Charleston Chew]

46. ‘Kudos to You!’
