Dept. of Huge Assholes
John Gibson is a cruel bastard

Tuesday, August 14th, 2007

FOX News host, right wing radio pundit and all-around asshole John “Make More Babies” Gibson showed his cruel, cold, conservative black heart on Friday when he mocked Jon Stewart’s immediate response to 9/11 after asking if “we need another 9-11.”

You can view all of Stewart’s post 9/11 comments here. Meanwhile, Media Matters has the full transcript and audio, but here’s glimpse at Gibson’s and his lackey’s intellectual attack on Stewart:

STEWART: But you know what the view is now?

ANGRY RICH: What is it, Jon?

GIBSON: What is it, Jon?

STEWART: The Statue of Liberty.

GIBSON: Oh! That’s great. I’m — God, I’m touched.

I never knew assholes could get so big. Anyway…

More douchebaggery after the jump.

Lil’ Bush: We are full circle

Monday, December 4th, 2006

Comedy Central has ordered six episodes of “Lil’ Bush,” a show that depicts the president and his cohorts as elementary schoolers, CNN is reporting.
The show got its start as a series of 5 minute video clips to be viewed on cell phones of Amp’d Mobile customers and they available on YouTube. CNN points this out about the show:

“Bush” represents an unlikely reversal of the one-way flow of programming from television to other digital platforms, where networks and studios are attempting to extend franchises in search of new revenue. That said, many a programmer has cited the Internet and mobile arenas as potential breeding grounds for fare that could translate back to TV.

Ah, yes. So it is possible for media corporations to find new programming out here in the wilderness of the World Wide Web. It makes us wonder why all the communications conglomerates are so focused on shutting the internet down instead of treating it like what it really is: a goldmine.

An astute social observation of our own, plus music as always after the jump.
