Its called having a consistent position regardless of partisan beliefs, try it some time lol.

All male politicians have a consistent position. Unfortunately, it's missionary.

To be fair, that district does have the best pizza and bagels in the world.

He really tried the Eddie Murphy "Wasn't me" defense. LOL

I think this is comical frankly on a number of levels.

Worse than even I expected. Nothing. Not a thing. What a fraud.

He promised a world-class network news show with hard-hitting stories and intelligent commentary, and all we got was a half-hour spoof on Comedy Central with a third of the details made up.

Yeah because if there was a Republican named WEINER, he would have glossed over it. He just proved he's the partisan hack he pretends not to be. I wouldn't care if we didn't get clips of the hilarity for every other event in politics.

Yeah, he's liberal. He's also a comedian. He has no obligation to be neutral about anything, or even to have integrity. Anyone who doesn't find him funny can change the channel.

I am well aware this is what he hides behind every chance he gets. He lost his comedian excuse when he held a political rally on the Mall.

I didn't see last night's episode yet, but having the same R&B singer who comes out for every politician's sex scandal making Weiner jokes isn't fair treatment?

Btw, Stewart and Weiner have been personal friends for decades also.

And their friendship is obviously why he is letting him off the hook. They had to get on to more pressing things like making fun of that idiot Palin some more.

Again, I wouldn't care if people on the left didn't act like the guy was some kind of spokesman (sad and true). But the fact is he is, at least for that group. As such, I expect him to rip everyone who deserves ripping and not be selective about it. He and his sycophants have put him in the this position, not me.

In never ceases to crack me up how outraged you get over the Daily Show and Jon Stewart.

How many smart people do you know who views Stewart as a spokesperson? Probably about as many that view Sean Hannity as a spokesperson....Zero.

You're a funny guy Dave, why don't you pitch a similarly styled yet slanted in the opposite direction show to Fox? Oh yea they already have a number of shows just like the daily show, such has O'Reilly Factor and Hannity. I am sure yours would be funnier though, as you would actually be trying to make people laugh.

RedskinsDave · #27 06-07-2011, 07:40 AM

I'm not outraged, I am annoyed. I would count anyone who went to or wanted to go to the rally as people who see him as a spokesman. That's a lot of people.

At least Hannity admits to being a political spokesperson. Could you imagine if he decided not to comment on his friend named Anthony Crapper if he got busted for sending a pic of a blumpkin? I think he would be called out for it.

Dude Hannity refused to condemn Ted Nugent for his "kill the president" comments and cited his friendship with the man as the reason why.

The rally was farcical, intentionally so. If that's your litmus test, I think you are mistaking people who like to laugh at folks like Beck viewing these comedians as leaders. Sure, I am sure some do, but the vast majority of people who went or wanted to go to the rally aren't looking to Stewart or Colbert as leaders.

It's not an excuse, it's who he is. He has a show; people watch it to laugh. I will agree that on some occasions he has had an inflated sense of his own importance. For example, when he went on his "bad for America" tirade on Crossfire several years ago. IMO, that's really the fault of the news networks that bring him on for semi-serious interviews (and it's hardly just news liberals, O'Reilly has invited him on the program several times). However, when I get sick of his act I just don't watch the show for a while.

By all means, continue your one-man crusade against liberal bias in comedy basic cable broadcasting.
