DU this poll: Olbermann, O'Reilly, or King?
Edited on Fri Mar-03-06 09:38 AM by 11 Bravo
Currently KO is at 80%, the Big Gigantic Head is at 10%, and Larry is at 9%.

Gee, it's painful to see O'Leilly receive such a comprehensive ass-kicking.

2. Done. And seeing King get his is almost as gratifying.

Why anyone likes that toadying, loudmouth gasbag (Larry King), beyond the celebrites he gushes over and lobs the softest of softball questions to, is beyond me.

12. I LOVE Keith

Not Only because he has taken up the cause of outrage of the Great Buck O'Neil being snubbed from the MLB Hall of Fame. But he has one of the best shows on TV. Larry King had Jon Stewart on earlier this week it was like watching one of TDS fake interviews in reverse. Larry was trying to ask "serious" Questions and Jon was throwing him off. I thought the best was when Larry asked if Jon wanted to see the Country having problems because that helps his "schtick" Jon answered to the effect: No I have kids I don't want to see the Country in ruins

From CNN Transcript

STEWART: Hosting a basic cable show. That is what is left for me, sitting every day and getting to rub my eyes and make stupid faces on videotape. That is all that is left for me. That is the catharsis that I live for.

KING: So, in a sense you're happy over this.

STEWART: No.

KING: This gives you fodder.

STEWART: Yes, I prefer not the fodder. I'm not -- we're not the guys at the craps table betting against the line. I would -- we'd make fun of something else. If public life, if government suddenly became inspiring and moved towards people's better nature and began to solve problems in a rational way rather than just a way that involved political dividends, we would be the happiest people in the world to turn our attention to idiots like, you know, media people, no offense.

KING: So, you don't want it to be bad?

STEWART: Did you really just ask me if I want it to be bad?

KING: Yes because you...

STEWART: What are you -- I have kids what do you think? Yes, I don't want them to have any kind of a -- I want things to corrode to the point where we're all living in huts.

KING: Not all living in huts but generally comics political comics like things to go a little wrong, don't have to be the end of the world.

STEWART: Like things to go a little wrong like birdshot to the face of a guy that will survive.

KING: That's right.

STEWART: Not like things to go wrong until it's like Mad Max, every man for himself, let's all ride around with machineguns on, which seems to be the way that it's...

KING: You don't want Medicare to fail?

STEWART: Are you insane?

KING: No.

STEWART: You're literally asking me if I would prefer -- yes, Larry, what I'm saying to you as a comedian I want old people to suffer, old and poor people to suffer. That is -- that is -- what we want is -- what seems absurd to me is the length that Washington just seems out of touch with the desires of Americans to be spoken to as though they are adults.

I mean when you listen to Bush's speeches, and I'm leaving the Democrats out because I honestly don't feel that they make an impact. They have 49 percent of the vote and three percent of the power. At a certain point you go "Guys, pick up your game."

But Bush, you know the other day when he had the speech about us being addicted to oil, he says those things as though, you know, he just thought of it and we're disagreeing with him, like everybody's been saying that. Jimmy Carter said it I think in 1978.

And he comes out, "What people don't realize is we're addicted to foreign oil" and he's saying it like you're going "Get out of here." We're addicted. You don't get it people. You know he was the guy on the stump a few years ago making fun of hybrid cars because it wasn't manly.

20. Stewart is amazing
He reminds me of the Harry Truman quote, "I tell them the truth, and they think it's hell."
