OT, but: TBogg, this deserves special treatment by you.

Stewart kicked ass on this one, alright.

“Fox News” (or “Pravda of the GOP” as it states on their business cards) will surely run these clips as sort of a clarification, right? I’m pretty sure the producers and infotainers would never wish to sully their reputations by failing to set the record straight. Amirite?

It is not often that Jon lets his comedic persona take a back seat to his famous CNN beatdown to Tucker Carlson: “Just Stop…”

This was one of those moments.

That second clip is so good I actually watched twice. Oh, and nice title, sugar.

yeah. He is really pissed and it shows. Problem is, this is still on a comedy show that airs close to midnight.

This division between rich and poor is going to end very, very badly for this country and much sooner than I had hoped it would be – after my lifetime.

Saw this in realtime last night, and my jaw dropped lower and lower, as I realized that Jon was actually getting up a real head of steam. One of his best ever.

And by the way, is it the case for anyone else that embedded clips of the show offsite play properly, but at the actual comedy central site play like 10 frames per minute?

And if so, any idea why, and how to remedy that?

I understand your concern, feel your pain, etc. But maybe that arc is bending again … we’ve had almost 40 years of rising inequality, following maybe 40 years of gradually reducing inequality, following … it’s about time things started getting more betterer once more

Neil Young approves this message.

It was a great piece, somewhat undermined by the both-sides-do-it bullshit of the Conventions finger-pointing segment.

You cannot make this stuff up. I cannot make this stuff up. El Willardo, the Latino Mittbot has been released.

Mitt Romney currently trails President Obama among registered Latino voters by nearly 40%, and getting caught saying things like “it would be helpful to be Latino” certainly isn’t helping.

But has it gotten so bad that Romney is now resorting to “brownface” in order to make himself more appealing to Univision viewers? Democratic Underground has looked at the photo above from last night’s “presidential forum” and concluded that, yes, Romney definitely “dyed his face brown.”

One lesson from this is witnessing how the progoganda machine works, and how quickly they manipulate the leaked talk from being a disaster to YAY! Mitthead’s hitting a home run, bring it! MOAR, please!

That nifty lil flip was red meat to the TeaGOPer base, who are delusional enough to believe that Mitthead smiles upon them from on high with his largess. It’s only “those OTHER (aka mostly non-white & teh poorz) people” that Bishop Snob thinks is a moocher. Too bad the TeaGOP don’t get it that Snotty Willard means everyone in the 99%, not just a certain portion of it.

Stewart really hit it outta the park last night. A thing of beauty but will not gain enough traction amongst those who most need to watch & learn.

Bullshit Mountain, indeed!

WIllard: “And so my job is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them that they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.” Which simplifies keeping the American Dream open to everyone. Smaller marketplace.

Well, it looks like Stewart is currently mad enough that his coming debate with Bill O’Lielly is going to require a stand-by ambulance. O’Lielly is going to get killed, and he won’t even be able to cut Jon’s mike; so sad….

Bleh.

I’ve now had Neil Young’s adenoidal whining stuck in my head for three hours. Thanks.

What what WHAT?!?

I mean WHAT?!?

Regardless of whether it was intentional, that is the most piss-poor job of making up a guy’s face for TV that I have ever seen.

Hope that comment wasn’t too taxing for ya.

Jeebus, I thought MM might be dead by now from sucking in varnish she applied to her kitchen counters during that discount, do-it-yourself kitchen remodel. Guess she doesn’t cook as much as she’d like us to think.

Amusing sidebar ad moments:

“This tactical firearms training book makes it so easy I bought it for my wife!”

Leaving aside the Geico Caveman echoing soft bigotry “so easy a woman can do it!” here, what’s the deal pal, you couldn’t simply loan your copy to her?

Oh, right, the restraining order. Fire away, honeybunch!
