This Scott Baio is really really

[malaise]

fucking dumb and he doesn't know how dumb he is

[eShirl]

1. Chachi's gettin' grilled!

It's like shooting fish in a barrel.

[Surya Gayatri]

68. "Callow", a good but disused word, comes to mind with regard to Chachi...

He's no more mature or credible than he was during "Happy Days". A kid in a man's body.

[Adrahil]

2. Hall is ripping him to shreds. NT

[malaise]

5. She's doing a great job here

[eShirl]

12. She's actually got him shredding himself

what a lightweight

[malaise]

16. Is that heavier than

featherweight???

[Gabi Hayes]

19. yes....who did doonesbury portray as just a feather, instead of a person?

was it quayle or bush?

[malaise]

23. You really are good Gabi

[Gabi Hayes]

42. just for you.....nobody else can see

saw airto and flora when they were together. simply transformative

thanks for making me think of this

[malaise]

45. You're on a roll

Soon come - going on the road

[Gabi Hayes]

57. rick or

rock'n?

been awake for about 26 hours

[jmowreader]

48. Quayle was the feather

Bush was an asterisk wearing a hat...a cowboy hat at the start of his term, a Roman helmet toward the middle and a battered Roman helmet at the end.

[obamanut2012]

93. Nope, featherweights kick ass

He ain't no Conor or Cyborg.

94. ROFL

Long time no see

[obamanut2012]

98. hahaha couldn't resist!

[Gabi Hayes]

17. did you feel the cold wind blowing when she showed the c-word tweet?

guess he thought he was on fox

that NEVER would have happened on cbs. those simps just sat there, licking up every smarmy piece of BS he vomited forth

[sarae]

3. Tamron Hall asked him if he wrote his own speech...

[malaise]

8. Priceless

[malaise]

20. You're back with a new handle

Enjoy your stay

[Gabi Hayes]

56. an approximation, please, of what it said? I missed it

[malaise]

60. Same old Christopher Columbus BS

[Mendocino]

24. Enjoy your stay

30 minutes or less.

[malaise]

34. Less

[sheshe2]

73. I didn't have enough time to finish JD!

Pouff, they were gone~

[Mendocino]

35. 5 minutes on DU

Is that a record?

[nolabear]

27. I was on the jury. Troll on, Tiny Troll.

[malaise]

32. Gone

[ChairmanAgnostic]

39. Damn. I missed it.

[nolabear]

44. It was Melania. She said "Call me Ishmael."

Actually it was a Trump jumper. Poof!

[Mendocino]

54. Like sands through an eggtimer

these are the moments of our lives.

[Silver_Witch]

78. I thought we were not allowed to post Meta

Or info on juries?

[nolabear]

79. Oh, sorry if that's not allowed. I didn't realize.

[Silver_Witch]

99. Just giving heads up so u don't get an alert

Take care!

[Else You Are Mad]

28. You are correct.

Both Trump and Columbus are pro - genocide.

[PJMcK]

31. ?

[gaspee]

33. America

Didn't need discovering - there were already lots of people living here.

[liberal N proud]

101. Milana did

[rurallib]

4. but this is more publicity than he's had in 20 years

[malaise]

6. Ha

[Ilsa]

100. His best character was Bob Loblaw.

That's not saying much.

[underpants]

7. Damn! I thought his celebrity status could change the discussion away from her speechless

Is Sabato Jr still available?

[hamsterjill]

9. He's a washed up character actor

Who is grasping at straws trying to remain relevant. He admitted himself that Trump had called him at the last minute. THAT, in and of itself, should have been a clue to how irrelevant he (Baio) already is.

[lapislzi]

50. After Urkel turned them down

He's an also-ran among also-rans.

[Mendocino]

70. After Urkel

there's always Screech, then the 5th henchman from the end, 2nd row, randomly turning knobs in Goldmember.

[louis-t]

10. I still want to know....

Did he open with his dumb little "Wa wa wa" from Happy Days?

[Gabi Hayes]

11. did you see the C word tweet he put out there?

tamron is tearing his ass UP!

she was so fricking awesome!

THAT's how a journalist should be acting

now, tamron where's that turdbuckle manafart? eat him for some LUNCH!

edit: got carried away there

[malaise]

36. Yep - she did her job there

and very well

[sarae]

41. Baio's a grade A douchebag and he had backup douches in the crowd applauding him

...but Tamron was amazing. I feel bad that she had to deal with that shit.

[Gabi Hayes]

58. wasn't that characteristically ridic? hear any swears, or racial epithets? somebody should do

some forensic acoustics

[sarae]

63. I have no doubt there were some racial slurs

being thrown around. I wish I could do a forensic acoustics analysis...the crowd was full of asshats.

[lapucelle]

13. I sent Tamron Hall the anti-Hillary tweet.

and she grilled Chachi about it.

I'm sure that Hall had already seen it, but we just got a hang up call at home, and my husband said it was Joanie calling to tell me off.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

64. Lol @ Joanie! nt

[skylucy]

14. YES! Tamron Hall is my hero!!!

These jerks tweet filth and then don't want to be questioned about it. So much for the "religious, morally superior" Baio.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

15. We're not here to talk nonsense to Bob Loblaw.

[RAFisher]

86. If not for Arrested Development I wouldn't know who this guy is...

He should stick to the law blog.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

87. No habla Espanol. nt

[itsrobert]

21. Missed it

Looking for video.

[Hoyt]

22. I get need for publicity when you are washed up actor, but he should have stayed under a rock.

[Gabi Hayes]

30. and he looked Terrible last night.....quintessential deer in the headlights...eyes darting

back and forth like a fourth string quarterback thrown in against the purple people eaters

THEN....the douchebags at CNN MARVELLED at how he hasn't aged at ALL!!

seriously. but then they were absolutely enchanted by the lame WWE foggy entrance by the wizard of ID. could not BELIEVE it. just nausea-inducing. just like a bunch of rubes who'd never been to the fair

[Hoyt]

40. LMAO -- "Just like a bunch of rubes who'd never been to the fair." Know the type.

[malaise]

43. Damn that's a good line

[Gabi Hayes]

46. which one? I like the football one better than the rubes. I had to think about that one

for awhile

ever read any of Matt Taibbi's books

or other stuff?

wimblehack, from the 04 election, it must have been, eviscerated all the worst of the MSM covering that

lemme see if I can find it.....

[Gabi Hayes]

55. rats....all that's left from 12 years ago....all the direct links are dead, even to cache+wayback

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2004/10/12/59276/-

a snip:

We rightfully bemoan the current state of the US media on dKos, but here's the lighter side of SCLM whoredom (sure to keep you laughing through Tweety's next post-debate three ring circus of GOP talking points.
As advertised on Wonkette, the New York Press has kicked off Wimblehack, the search for America's worst campaign journalist.

The whole thing is priceless. There's a bracket with seedings of the top 8 hacks in contention (Karen Tumulty apparently edged Jonathan Alter for the #1 seed).

Each week, the Press examines each writer's contributions to the world of SCLM whoredom and then decides who "won" each matchup by virtue of having published the worst crap that week.

Here's a taste of some of the classic commentary provided by the Press:

On Bill Sammon

"Sammon seized control of the match early when he made headlines by quoting Karl Rove, in the run-up to the debate, as saying of Kerry: 'He will be the best debater the president has ever faced.' Every other journalist on the campaign trail groaned audibly at the sight of this quote, understanding immediately that Rove had chosen the one reporter on the planet who would not add the caveat: 'Which is exactly the same goddamn thing he says before every debate.'"

On Bob Novak

"Nonetheless, Novak advances. He advances because of that dreary purse-lipped sadist's face of his. (You've seen that face before: the prison warden meets high school vice-principal of your nightmares, shitting on your wife's back.)

........

Six years ago, Novak's column was the favored destination of anonymous leakers from the office of special prosecutor Ken Starr. ... At the time, Novak had no problem being the submissive love-slave of an overzealous independent prosecutor seeking, in a clearly inappropriate manner, to try his case in public.

Now Novak is going to sit back and let people like William Safire blast special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald for going too far in hammering Novak for his sources in the Plame case. Live by the leak--die by the leak, you fucking dog."

On Jodi Wilgoren vs. Ann Coulter

As for Ann Coulter, what is there to say? Like her predecessor, Joseph Stalin, she has her funny moments.

[ChoppinBroccoli]

26. What Are You Talking About?

The guy was able to successfully debunk Global Warming by pointing out that he saw snow on top of a mountain. He's a GENIUS!!!

I don't know about you, but I refuse to make a final decision for President until I hear who Mr. Belvedere endorses.

[malaise]

29. OK you owe me a keyboard right fugging now

[nolabear]

37. I caught a whiff of death off of him. He knows.

He wasn't even trying. He knows they're all going down.

Tameron is getting better and better at this. Steve King wants to know what non-white people have accomplished? This one has gotten fantastic at roasting GOP asses!

[Blanks]

38. He'll probably be the one who talks to a chair this time...

Surely that's something they'll do every four years. It worked so well when Eastwood did it.

[Mendocino]

47. Chachi's next gig is

portraying David Fry in The Oregon Wildlife Refuge Standoff.

"Man I just want some WEED"

[JenniferJuniper]

49. Has anyone seen in him the last 40 years? What's the point?

[Lint Head]

51. Loss of brain cells poor guy.

[Gothmog]

52. Chachi is an idiot

[tonyt53]

53. Maybe the people that wrote Melania's speech thought he was a star. They suck at everything else.

[Wednesdays]

59. Wait, what are you watching?

If it's MSNBC or something, I'll need to scramble to find it, 'cuz I don't have cable.

[malaise]

[Mendocino]

71. Or Donnie loves Chachi

[Different Drummer]

102. Good one!

[herding cats]

72. For those who missed it:

Scott Baio completely embarrassed by MSNBC's Tamron Hall during wild interview

An interview with actor Scott Baio didn't go the best for the former actor just 24 hours after his speech at the RNC.

Baio busted
Baio had no clue he would be taking the state on Monday night until just last week after a conversation with GOP nominee Donald Trump. When Trump invited Baio to speak at the convention, he scrambled together a speech and let loose on President Obama and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in front of a packed house at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio. This issue was discussed during a heated interview with MSNBC's Tamron Hall on July 19.

74. Chachi burned down Arnold's.

Threw his apron on to the still-hot grill.

[SwankyXomb]

75. He DID sell his soul to the devil on the show

Maybe this is payment time.

[kimbutgar]

77. He's setting himself to run for office in probably Orange county

Or he wants a role in cheetos administration.

[edbermac]

80. And Carlos W Bush on Discussionist is really really really REALLY

fucking dumb and he doesn't know how REALLY fucking dumb he is.

http://www.discussionist.com/1016196922

[Cheap_Trick]

81. This douchebag wasn't even cool enough

to be the "Cousin Oliver" of Happy Days. No, he was the motherfucking "Scrappy Doo".

He's so has-been they don't even want him for a "Sharknado" movie.

[angrychair]

82. Respectfully

I have no fucks to give about the political insights of some has-been "b" actor.
This one of many reasons we are in the mess we are in: we are letting actors and reality tv "stars" shape our political discussion. The vast majority of these type of people are in no way credentialed or otherwise qualified to shape political debate on a national scale, they are a fluff entertainment news piece at best.
Being a mediocre actor 30 years ago should not get you a public forum to spout nonsense.

If not for his current new found attention, this moron would be staring at me from a fast food drive thru window handing me a milkshake.

[Still In Wisconsin]

83. Hey! Chachi! Sit on it! --- The Fonz n/t

[wallyworld2]

Welcome to DU

95. Thank you

[SunSeeker]

85. That's the problem with dumb people. They don't know how dumb they are. nt

[NoMoreRepugs]

88. like most true conservatives he doesn't realize

what an embarrassment to himself he is when he opens his mouth

[Kingofalldems]

89. Here's the video:

[Mendocino]

97. So according to him

it's okay to refer to a woman as a c*** if you're from Brooklyn. So if I was also from there, I could call his mother, sister, wife, daughter the same and he wouldn't have a problem with it?

[uponit7771]

90. He's been told that he's smart by people he pays

[First Speaker]

96. I'm surprised Trump didn't pick him as his running mate...
