Chuck Todd Has Barbeque On His Face

Posted on 07/10/2008 at 9:31 am by Bob Cesca

Weird. I thought it was a beard. Anyway.

Our corporate media stooges commenting on Senator McCain’s “joke”:

NBC’s Chuck Todd: “That’s what makes him real and that’s what makes people who disagree with him say ‘ah, you know what? The guy seems like any guy you’d want to have around the dinner table or the bar stool.’”

CNN’s Jessica Yellin: “People who love him think his a maverick and think he’s a real guy who makes a joke off the cuff just like real people do [but] we’re all waiting to see if something explodes, this kind of comment doesn’t.”

Genocide jokes are cool. And I love how the Bush years have dissolved any standards we might’ve had for the Republican candidate. In other words: if you can sit on a stool and tell an undignified joke, then you’re qualified to be the leader of the free world.

    What a bunch of shameless douchebags. I can’t watch any of that shit anymore. It makes my stomach burn.

    “Electing a guy you’d like to go have a beer with”… an underlying qualification for a POTUS.Wait – didn’t the US just try that option for the last 8 years?

    Just when I was starting to like Chuck. Well, that’s that. Bob, thank you for watching the news networks for me. I really can’t stomach them any more. I know if anything really important happens, I can come here to find it out. Otherwise, it’s very selective viewing for me from now on…Democracy Now, Oberman, the Daily show, Colbert and you.

    Reagan loved him the Nuclear Holocaust Zinger, and he’s our most dearly beloved Conservative Pinhead Douchebag! It must have been charming and delightful, because this glowing elegy memorializing his “We begin bombing in five minutes” horseplay (fucking nut! GOD I loved you, Ronnie!) is entitled “Remembering President Reagan For His Humor – A Classic Radio Gaffe” and goes on to say:”With the passing of President Ronald Reagan on Saturday, June 5, 2004, at age 93, maybe it will put a smile on your face to remember him for his sense of humor.”Yes, don’t we ALL remember that classic moment? [Cue fireside-chatty instrumental music, rub vaseline on the lens, tilt your head like you're a slightly retarded Republican.] Ah, the Cold War. The threat of nuclear annihilation hung over us all; The Day After thrilled TV audiences with its Kids Being Vaporized special effects; trillions went down the endless shithole that is proliferation spending; and in the White House (music surges, lights come up, a dove wearing a tiny American Flag Lapel Pin soars over the camera), a doddering old fart named Ronald Reagan jokes into a hot mic that he’s authorized the slaughter of untold millions of innocent Russian women and children and all their vodka. Ah, the memories.What. The. Fuck. Is. Wrong. With. Them?

    Sorry, that Glowing Shitheaded Elegy is here:http://radio.about.com/od/funradiothingstodo/a/aa060503a.htmUnder... *swallows sickly* … “Fun Radio Things To Do.” Yeah, that’s a fun day at the computer. “Hey kids! Come listen to this! Our 40th president joked about launching nuclear missiles into Russia, which would have vaporized and burned and killed and maimed millions of human beings, it was fantastic!”
