I've decided that Karl Rove deserves his own thread for this one.

I AGREE

I like the juxtaposition with the news scroll on the bottom.

Maybe this should have a poll...

"He can't be beat because he's so white from his head to his feet"???

How isn't this racist? Is the audience too stupid to realize it's racist? Is the rapper too stupid? Is that black guy dancing along like a tool too stupid to realize it's racist?

And what the hell is up with the people in the audience screaming out loud like Aerosmith is on stage? Who are these people? Probably the same people who laughed out loud when Ann Coulter called John Edwards the "F" word.

Not Afraid to Look Stupid in Public might work for some people, but in no way makes this guy more likable.

I can't watch **** like this because it makes me too uncomfortable. ****in' turd blossom. It's bad enough when people make fools of themselves on the public stage, but shouldn't politicians and their handlers be a little more dignified? When Jon Stewart does those otherwise awful visual gags on "The Daily Show" he's reluctant and exudes a sense of amused detachment. He recognizes the inherent silliness of eating a pancake wrapped in a sausage as part of a bit for television. Same goes for speaking into a rotary phone or wearing a Vader mask.

I don't care about his role in this, but I have lost all respect for Brad Sherwood and Colin Mochrie.

ImaginalDisc · 30th March 2007, 06:45 AM

That. . .that dancing. Either this is a stroke of political genius, or it's a stroke.

TheJim · 30th March 2007, 07:02 AM

If there is one bit in Comedy I would kill to never see again it would be the rapping whiteguy/grannie rotine. It might have been funny the first time but not when rap is a mainstream pop genre.

Tsukasa Buddha · 30th March 2007, 10:59 AM

Sooo painful... Couldn't even finish it

. What *****' losers, but what can you expect from those morons. These idiots do the same bull every year and those a-holes in the croud just go along and cheer politely. Where's the liberal media bias?

I want those ten seconds of my life back, dammit!

Wait, I'll see if the well of contempt for people too cowardly to face public criticism like last year's is exhausted.

If Bush had invted Colbert back, I would have gained a small amount of respect for him. Instead, he surrounds himself with dancing, well, you know his pet name for Rove.

The people dancing along on stage are the ones who wrote the words for Rove to say.

The people in the audience are attendees at the 63rd Annual Radio TV-Correspondents Dinner. They are probably slanted slightly liberal and are, in any case, not the same as the top Republican strategists that Ann Coulter was addressing when she insulted Edwards.

Still obliviously racist.

They're still stupid.

fishbob · 30th March 2007, 04:40 PM

Have to agree with Dustin on this one. 100%

Dustin Kesselberg · 30th March 2007, 10:02 PM

Notice I said "obliviously" racist and not "obviously". The dumb rapper or the dumb black guy don't even seem to understand it.
