Jon Stewart vs. Bill O'Reilly

[old_tony]

I forget. Was it BillO or Pill Popper who started the "Obama Teleprompter" meme? Because if it was BillO, I wonder what he'll say about this:

You can't satirize that act.

Nearly every speaker uses index cards or such to remind them of a topic or point to make. Palin wrote a note on her hand.

The Reader in Chief, however, is just that: a reader. Without a teleprompter he's a blooming idiot.







There's a huge difference between using a note and having to read every single word from a teleprompter.

Those who don't know the difference are just as much of an intellectual fraud as Obama.

Obama didn't have teleprompter in Baltimore when he made the GOP congressmen all look like fools.
They were all obviously believing this "Obama is a dumbass without a teleprompter" line of thinking and then they got their asses handed to them when they tried to engage him.
Or has the Rush/Beck/Savage radio crowd come up with a way to explain that?

The issue with Palin is not that she brought notes with her to help her in her speech. That's to be expected.

The issue is one of professionalism. Instead of using index cards or paper or something adults would use, she wrote on her hand like she's an 11-year-old trying to remember a boy's phone number. (Except that with 11-year-olds having cell phones, they don't even need to do that anymore.) I hope she never refuses to shake a dignitary's hand because she's afraid that would smudge her greeting.

Go get 'em Tony!

Right on schedule. :D

Did your boy Shrub use a teleprompter, Tony? A simple yes or no will do.

Well at least we know you read "Zeke's Talking Points Memo on defending Obama's inability to speak without teleprompters......"

Why does Tony have to answer for "Shrub''

You go, Zago! I can't wait till Zeke tries to answer this one! I'll bet he doesn't even respond, because he knows there's nothing he can say.

while the video mocks her, this puts the use of the cheat sheet in some perspective.



She was clearly trying to be conversational and not use notes. Even though she likely given the questions in advance, she jotted down a couple of points to make to when asked what she would do -- at the first Tea Party Convention, I'd like to add and where she got $100,000 to appear.

That's lightweight and she wants to run for president.

From what I saw, I think Stewart and O'Reilly like each other a lot more than either is willing to admit.

Stewart has said he has respect for Bill O. His appearances on the Daily Show are usually very entertaining, in a good way. Bill O. is a hothead, to be sure, but watching him on the Daily Show, you wonder how much of it is an act to satisfy Roger Ailes' red-meat requirements.

O'Really is desperately eager to be accepted as a mainstream interviewer by the mainstream press.

Droolingly eager.

Pathetic, really.

 

[WaylonJennings]

The guy taught Constitutional Law at the University of Chicago. I'm sure he's not a "blithering idiot" without a teleprompter. Those kind of extreme statements just erode the speaker's credibility to nothing.

Is that the death cat? Have I been marked for death?*

*this only makes sense if you watched Saturday Night Live last night.

Not at all, Jay. Zag is a smart fellow. I'm sure he can figure it out.

Oh my, you really got us fooled with this one. I mean, who is this - Grimace? Angola? Fudgie?

Christ, a newbie with three total posts mysteriously shows up to "defend the home team's honor" then, no doubt will run back in search of strokes from the rest of the crowd but we're all supposed to be fooled by it.

No really, you got us, you really are a new poster...... ::)

Get.A.Life.

And for the record, my point wasn't to rip Zeke, just rip the people who continue to regurgitate this nonsensical mantra about Obama "taking it to the GOP without teleprompters....."

Because the whole "Obama and his teleprompter" meme is based in hypocrisy. Name one president in the modern era - including St. Ronnie - who didn't use one.

Hope that helps. :)

I have no problem with you, Spup, you come here and argue under your own name and don't play these silly games like creating newbie posters and stirring **** up, as if there is some sort of an "us" against "them" going on. I respect you and the Doctor and always have.

I just wish others would follow your lead and stop all this nonsense.

I just think, if you want to post here, do so under your regular handle - is that too much too ask?

The best part is that with a crib sheet written on her hand, she said ...

“This is about the people, and it’s bigger than any one king or queen of a tea party, and it’s a lot bigger than any charismatic guy with a teleprompter.”

Fair enough, Zag. Let me pose this question: Do you really, honestly think me or Doc or Zeke or Grimace (BTW, Fudgie doesn't post at our site) is dumb enough to be so blatantly obvious as ebrown? Consider for a minute the possibility it might be someone from here starting a sock puppet so we get the blame.
