Led by Jon Stewart, ably backed up by South Park, and profusely quoted by Fox News and MSNBC, Comedy Central swept the field of honor and saved the reputation of news anchors everywhere when they took top honors during a green tie affair at the National Press Club last night.
O’Reilly was immediately abuzz with his assistant buzzer (or is it buzzard?) Bernie Goldberg, both showering Stewart with their most envious comments.
MSNBC’s Morning Joe was pouring all over it this morning, adding accolades for South Park and its skewering of Prophet Mohammed. The Starbuck’s club even dared run pieces of South Park’s satire on Mohammed. And butted that up with footage of an Islam Channel’s scary comments on South Park’s daring to mention Mohammed in one of its raucous kids skits.
Don’t they know that the Extremists of Islam have a copyright on all mention of the Prophet and a trademark on the name of Allah? And that their rights are jealously guarded and all infringement swiftly avenged?
Let’s get off scary things and back to the more comedic. Like Washington.
Aw-w-w… the Republicans gave up. And we thought we had ourselves a fight over financial reform. But wait! The fight has been saved! Now they’re fighting over who gave up first. Republies are saying they forced Demlies back to the jousting field, but Demlies are accusing Republies of abandoning their cause. Ooh! Strong, strong words! And out of such gentlemen!
And who do we think wins and who loses? Demlies? Republies? What’ll ya bet that we wake up sometime in the not too distant future and find that Wall Street won and we Americans lost?
Only thing we regret about it being over so fast, is that we didn’t get to see the farmers, as in the Senate Agriculture Committee, pitch fork at the derivatives. We’d love to have heard them define what they were fighting over.
