Gannon in Action? Did the Daily Show have a scoop and not Know it?
I think I might have found a video clip of Gannon in Action (Well, his voice anyway) at a * Press conference a few days ago. :bounce:

John Stewart referred to a reporter as "Chip Rightwingastien" of the "Bush Agenda Gazette." I bet this is Gannon.

At the link below, it will take you to a page on Comedy Central.com, Then click the "Video" box that has the * with the title graphic "Look Who's Talking." The clip is after the :45 second Commercial (which you can skip by hitting the "next" arrow, once it starts playing.

It's a very funny clip, but if you have limited time, Gannon is at approx. 1 min 15 seconds (1:15).

Check it out!

1. Yes, it is Gannon.
Sad that this is the closest to MSM coverage that it's gotten so far.

2. Yep, The Daily Show covered his absurdly biased question.
And ONLY The Daily Show. I didn't see it on any other news outlet, major or otherwise. In fact, other than Dubyaspeak.com, I didn't see the quote anywhere else on the internet at all.

Congratulations, America. We are now more like the spoof of ourselves than we are like the real thing.

3. WOLF BLITZER!! It's his LEAD TEASER!!
I'm SHOCKED...Wolfie, the Voice of the White House!!! The Gannon thing was the FIRST THING OUT OF HIS MOUTH!

He's doing Condi right now, so Gannon will be further down in the program...but that's pretty funny, that he used the story and the clown's picture as a hook!

6. Did he credit "The Daily Show?"
Not that he would, just wondering?

Oh, Man, They are going to do the SAME story that "The Daily Show" did, on "Gay Penguins" months ago!

ROTFL

10. The saddest thing of all is that The Daily Show is perhaps the
most honest and informative "news" show in Imperial Amerika.

And it's comedy, fer Chrissakes!

But of course, in Totalitarian Nations like Imperial Amerika, only comics are allowed to speak anything close to the truth (Bushevik add-on: to avoid unseemly comparisons with Totalitarians of the past, this group only includes people with the ability to speak to 100,000 or more of their fellow citizens at one time...for the moment)

How far has America fallen since it was Free? How much further to go?

16. I have to disagree with this statement:
"If it's in the paper, and it doesn't involve a cat eating lasagna, Bush probably hasn't read it."

Garfield is entirely too intellectual to be included on Chimp's reading list.

23. You're probably right
His level is Marmaduke, I think Heathcliff would be over his head.

Is Heathcliff still being drawn?



Have you seen "Get Fuzzy?" That's a great new strip.

27. MWO "scooped" the Gannon story two and a half years ago. It took
the rest of the dem establishment (without a single word from the "press" people at the DNC, natch) that long to make an issue of it.

God bless david brock. i guess it takes a former rethug to have the balls to go after the "left wing" media.

Sad.
