This is from tonight's Scarborough Country. I expect to see it on THE DAILY SHOW, I guess the guy did not get the memo that THE DAILY SHOW is a fake news show.

1. I'll bet that nut just opens Kool-Aid packets and eats the dry powder.

The Daily show needs to maintain its credibility as a credible source of comedy? That made me laugh out loud.

[hwmnbn]

2. Comedy doesn't have to be credible....

it has to be FUNNY!!

What a pompous ass. This is where the genius of the Daily Show & Colbert resides. They can use humor to educate.

[Selteri]

7. Fair and Balanced Comedy? OMG He's a Dennis Miller Fan! NT

[Kyrina]

3. Does the inverse work?

It mostly made me scratch my head in confusion. I wonder if they believe the inverse is true (something needs to be funny to be credible)

[noahmijo]

17. probably eats the packet too

[newburgh]

4. Give this guy a medal!

He's eloquently expressed the putridity of punditry.

[Mojambo]

5. You could tell by that pause while he was saying it

He knew how ridiculous he sounded.

[Eric J in MN]

9. In fairness to him,

...while he made a strange remark, for a conservative to be asked to comment on "The Daily Show" repeatedly might have felt like a strange situation.

[Ken Burch]

12. why bother with "in fairness to him"?

They never displayed fairness to Stewart or to US.

Let 'em taste a little unfairness for once.

[bridgit]

6. omg what.......a duuph...

:rofl:

[Eric J in MN]

8. The right-winger is named Bob Kohn. NT

NT

[DarienComp]

10. "losing its credibility as a reliable source of comedy"

I almost fell out of my seat when he said that. What an idiot this guy is.

[O.M.B.inOhio]

11. That line nearly killed me!

And I hope that if Pelosi and others lie and steal and piss on the Constitution The Daily Show will give them a hard time. But these twerps suggest that this would be evidence weakness in the enemy ranks. Jesus.

[Ken Burch]

13. Will these guys try to cut off federal funding for The Daily Show?

nt.

[Cocoa]

15. that's a line Stewart couldn't make up

"a reliable source of comedy". :rofl:

[greenman3610]

20. Sean Hannity, for instance, is a

"reliable source of comedy"

[Tiggeroshii]

23. Best thing I've heard in... forever...

:rofl:

[Junkdrawer]

14. Here's the problem, lies aren't funny...

Now, telling the truth in the face of tremendous pressure to lie...hysterical.

[fasttense]

16. "When the Vice President shot his friend in the face

who did he come to? He comes to Fox News." What the heck? Was he trying to say how important Fake New is? The Vice President should have gone to the police, instead he went on Fake News. When I shoot my friend in the face, I will go on Fake News too. What a very strange comment Scarborough made.

[Agnomen]

18. Jon Stewart has gravitas

judging by the right-wingers reactions to his show. They accord him the status of a rival newscaster. He's a comedian for heavens sakes! His show is on Comedy Central, and his aim is to be funny, not fair or balanced. Are they really that stupid or that desperate? And it's not "fake news" - he comments and editorializes on politicians' real deeds or misdeeds. The Republicans just provide him with easy material for his routines.

[Shipwack]

21. The right wingers -have to treat him as a serious commentator.

What Jon Stewart says hurts them so much they have to build him up. The alternative is to acknowledge that their power (and self-estemm) is being eroded by a clown (so to speak)...

Besides, isn't the "Colbert Report" enough to balance out "The Daily Show"?

[philosophie_en_rose]

25. compared to Fox News, the Daily Show is a serious commentary.

:)

And the reason that Pelosi won't get slammed as much as Bush, is that competence isn't funny.

[Donnachaidh]

19. this nut is just enabling Joe Scarborough's man crush on Stewart

Has there been a day in the last six months that Scarborough hasn't been obsessing over the Daily Show?
I think it's time for a trip to rehab for Scarborough. :sarcasm:

[xxqqqzme]

22. who was that talking hair-do?

and why does he get face time?

His hair is just like Colbert or as Steven would say 'Col-hair'.

[EstimatedProphet]

24. The really funny thing is that we're the ones without a sense of humor!

Or so I seem to hear all the time from idiot pundits like that guy!

[Pattib]

26. Scarborough is freaking obssessed with Jon Stewart!

It's funny, I can count on one hand the times I have actually watched Scarborough and he is ALWAYS talking about Jon Stewart or The Daily Show.. Why are Republicans so enthralled with Jon? I think they secretly watch. They seem to know an awful lot about it.

[Synnical]

27. Ha! I never that faux news would make me laugh

But I just did. :P

[angry_chuck]

28. all tvs must play fox

Maybe that can motivate? If the Fascists win, The only TV channel will be fox.
