Dan Abrams on the Bush comedy attempt

[linazelle]

He had several comedians on the show trying to make light of political issues. Then he showed the speech live. Afterwards he asked the comedians for their opinions of Bush's speech.

One, a political impressionist, said he thought Bush's joking about WMD at the very people who are dying because of them was hardly funny.

Dan Abrams replied to the comedian something to the effect of: well that's just a political opinion and this show is about comedy then he switched topics.

(And what was up with Bush hiding the faces of the soldiers in the clip during the speech? First, he blacks out all coverage of their coffins now he blacks out their faces, "for their protection"? BuShit!)

maybe they weren't soldiers after all... maybe they were "angry Floridians" all over again :shrug:

2. You mean Abrams isn't talking about Kobe's penis?

Wow, he must be ill or something.

23. I heard him talking about "semen stains in panties" today

He's a pervert.. He really enjoys talking about the sex stuff..

[Sparkle]

3. Imo, this Abrams guy is too inexperienced to have an hour long show.

5. Men dying because of supposed WMD and daffy duck makes jokes - disgraceful

Sure wish the press would give this just 1/10 of the covrage they gave Dean hollaring - but of course they won't. Sigh!

6. "this show is about comedy?"

that's the most ASININE thing I've ever heard, well at least since Bush 5, Gore 4

WTF is he thinking?

the guy is the PRESIDENT.....allegedly

so, political comments are out of bounds, eh?

what a DICK!

what did they TALK about? petunia shaving?

[elperromagico]

7. I told you what Abrams talks about.

Kobe's dick and Scott Peterson's dead wife.

Why a legal correspondent is talking about comedy is beyond me.

As soon as a guest starts going after bush he tells them they can't do it on his show.
