This past Saturday I was invited on Fox News to tell 30 seconds of Huckabee jokes. I figured my time on live TV would be better spent letting the Fox News viewership know that their favorite channel is a festering pile of propaganda. Here's the clip.

LeeCamp's diary :: ::

Thanks guys for all the thoughtful words! And although I didn't say what I said for any kind of personal gain, I would love to keep in touch with you all. My sites are LeeCamp.net and www.YouTube.com/LeeCamp and my email is [e-mail]. You guys are the best.

Several of you have asked what happened after they cut to commercial. Well, I stood up and walked out and no one said a single word to me - The anchor clearly fuming. I got to the greenroom where the female co-host was, and apparently she had not watched the segment on the 4 TVs back there. She looked at me and goes, "GREAT JOB!!! We need more humor on our show!!" I grabbed my stuff and left. Apparently when they came back from commercial, the anchor pretended as if he had thrown me out of the building, but I never saw that part of the clip.

Thanks again. I'm sorry for all my diary fouls. I've never posted before. Forgive me.
Keep speakin the truth.

8. The rant was great, but the Star Trek thing made it a classic . . .

Seriously, it was almost too perfect to be true -- then again, it is Faux.

10. I completely agree!

Lee Camp (paraphrased): "You guys suck. It's propaganda! Fox News makes people stupid!"
Fox News: "Hey, great, now go away. Now back to something more important. Women in miniskirts talking about Star Trek!"

It was like a Saturday Night Live parody of Fox.

11. And not just Star Trek, but about Captain Kirk's appeal with women. . .

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

12. That was beautiful

Oh! Don't mention those million DEAD PEOPLE! That's NOT POLITE! That's not fit for television! *clutches pearls* We can talk about how happy we are that we're over there making more dead people, but please, have some sense of decorum: don't talk about all those DEAD PEOPLE that we here at Fox nEws helped to kill.
