but is there ANY basis for this,

oh jesus f'in christ, yes, of COURSE, there's obvious publicized evidence that HRC is damn near SLATHERING over the prospect of gaining power, JUST to stack the courts, agencies, and various departments with her praetorian legions of lesbo-cronies. Give me a fucking break.

Of course, this give an amusing image is a southern foghorn leghorn-style senator address a senate panel about "the growing threat of lesbo-cronies in our midst, gentlemen!" like something out of Bloom County.

also, the lesbo joke is mentioned up thread. Where's that image of radical animal rights ecoterrorists that somebody found, with the angry lobster and the unshaven hippie chick w/ a gasoline can?

The tatoo looks like something out of 'Maus' actually.

Are the overnight ratings for this thing in yet?

I like this one: A neat little bit of commentary on the jokes of the show, from an actual joke-writer.

they be stealin' kingfish's bucket (kingfish), Monday, 19 February 2007 19:40 (seventeen years ago) link

from that New Yorker article:

Surnow and his friend Ann Coulter—the conservative pundit, and author of the pro-McCarthy book “Treason”—talked about creating a conservative response to George Clooney’s recent film “Good Night, and Good Luck.” Surnow said, “I thought it would really provoke people to do a movie that depicted Joe McCarthy as an American hero or, maybe, someone with a good cause who maybe went too far.”

I feel like the way this idea is framed is very revealing, and kind of ties in with what that review linked above says about the show actively trying to wring humor from things rather than looking for naturally-occurring humor. Notice that he doesn't say that he, specifically, sees Joe McCarthy as a tragic figure deserving of sympathy, or would like to reform the public perception of him; he simply thinks it would "provoke people" (see also: Barack Obama race jokes, reheated Ann Coulter foot-in-mouthisms, etc). I realize that this basically just confirms what everyone else has already said, but it's still kind of amazing (to me) to see just how straightforward his thought process is.

he simply thinks it would "provoke people"

Not only that, but as a direct response to Clooney's out-there liberalism. HE'S MAD AS HELL AND HE'S NOT GOING TO USE REASON ANYMORE.

I think that the entire point to a lot of these guys is the "provoke" bit, which is why half of the rightwing blog posts about the show always included the "and it will drive those liberals NUTS." A.C.'s raison d'etre is to expend a large amount of effort into being "outrageous", just to get airtime and sell more books.

But, as said earlier on this thread and elsewhere, modern conservatism is pretty much boiled down to "we'll get those dirty hippies" and little else.

all this horseshit is intended not to amuse conservatives but to inflame liberals and so far it seems to be working like a charm

m coleman (lovebug ), Monday, 19 February 2007 22:29 (seventeen years ago) link

no one's really getting 'enraged' though are they?

deej (deej), Monday, 19 February 2007 22:39 (seventeen years ago) link

Not really. It's like the reactions are more a mild irritation to a mild bemusement.

Of course, there are those who call for the hanging of all traitors, then start talking about people who disagree with Dear Leader...

they be stealin' kingfish's bucket (kingfish), Monday, 19 February 2007 22:41 (seventeen years ago) link

actually Id like to hang that smug fuck from "24" interviewed in the New Yorker

m coleman (lovebug ), Monday, 19 February 2007 22:59 (seventeen years ago) link

More on hangin' the traitors, and that stupid Lincoln quote that some guy at the Moonie Times made up

don young calls for the execution of the people who represent 60%+ of US opinion... not newsworthy.

Frum says 'Watch Rome instead.' Which sounds like good advice.

clearly ur preference for nu-barnes makes that post even more of a whoopsie doodle (xpost)

If the Lincoln non-quote dustup is your thing, or if you just like hearing a jerk prevaricate, here's Greenwald vs Gaffney, regarding Gaffney's repetition of the non-quote. Gaffney's explanation is roughly I didn't mean we should literally hang Congress members, but those Congress members need to understand that their words have consequences, just as acts of treasonous dissent have consequences, and treasonous dissenters should be hanged. And, schoolmarmy lectures from Colmes.

-- m coleman (writeco...), February 19th, 2007. (lovebug )

really? i think the liberals are chuckling as they read the conservatives talking about piss poor the whole thing is. schadenfreude, etc. i have yet to see any 'inflamed' liberals.

hm (modestmickey), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 04:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Jeez, upon actually listening to the full Gaffney clip, this guy is a straight douche, and then starts nattering on about how Saddam actually had WMDs, supported terrorism against the U.S., wanted to ship these WMDs over in aerosol cans, etc. And more funnies when the guy busts out an FCC violation when actually challenged.

It's really scary that these assholes hold policy positions and get listened to at the highest levels.

^- this thing's s'posed to be like a rightwing Onion, right?

next ep is coming on March 4th

Meanwhile, more comedy, courtesy of them hiring Michelle Malkin. I'm hoping that they give an hour-long show to each TownHall poster, just for full entertainment value.

they be stealin' kingfish's bucket (kingfish), Monday, 26 February 2007 20:48 (seventeen years ago) link

ratings are in!

they be stealin' kingfish's bucket (kingfish), Wednesday, 28 February 2007 16:53 (seventeen years ago) link
