John Fugelsang speaks TRUTH about Michael Brown....

[calimary]

30. Our side is missing a big one here. He is a MAJOR talent with TONS of potential.

Handled correctly he could be another Jon Stewart. He's got the chops, the well-developed and crafty sense of humor, and he looks great. Photopraphs well. Superficial I know, but this is TV and everything goes down better on TV if the "delivery system" is nice-looking. Anyone wonder why every woman on Pox Noise (except for Greta) looks like she's ready for that all-important seat at a bar (as that elizabeth lauten bitch described in her adorable put-down of the Obama daughters). John Fugelsang is intelligent AND articulate - and in a catchy way. And we need all the bench-strength we can get, as far as spokespeople, voices for OUR side. Voices on OUR side.

I think he should be seriously cultivated and groomed for his own show. This is another resource WE have, on our side, for message delivery. HE does it with a chuckle, a clever quip, and a fetching little grin, and that ALWAYS makes the message go down just a little easier. Sneakier way to get it across. The same way the scrawny little kid who could make the bullies on the playground laugh wound up embraced by those ruffians, protected AND defended. I've interviewed enough comedians in my day to have heard that one again and again.

We need to GROW people like him. Aggressively and relentlessly. From the roots up. Remember how Rachel Maddow started inviting the then-nobody-heard-of Elizabeth Warren onto her show as a guest, interview subject, source authority on the issues of America's kitchen tables? Nobody'd ever heard of Elizabeth Warren outside her own circle of expertise, until then. And Rachel plucked her out of obscurity had her on several times so her message started getting out to more of the masses. And her profile grew. Her public persona grew. And gained ground - and followers galore. And look where she is now. She's a force to be reckoned with now, and she can no longer be ignored. And she's been given a seat at the table in the Democratic Senate hierarchy. They had to. They know how much clout she has with the base. They know what she means. She's being mentioned for President now - SERIOUSLY. That's because she was spotted in the crowd early on, when she was pretty much a nobody, and was given exposure and a chance to GROW AND DEVELOP as a public persona. And look what's happened!!!!
