Do you watch the Daily Show? If so, then you're a stoned slacker!
And most likely also a drunk!

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,132946,00.html

*snip*

O'REILLY: But it is. It's true. I mean, you've got stoned slackers watching your dopey show every night, OK, and they can vote.

STEWART: Yeah.

O'REILLY: You can't stop them.

STEWART: Yeah, I just don't know how motivated they would be, these stoned slackers.

O'REILLY: Yeah, it just depends if they have to go out that day.

STEWART: What am I, a Cheech and Chong movie? Stoned slackers?

O'REILLY: Come on, you do the research, you know the research on your program.

STEWART: No, we don't.

O'REILLY: Eighty-seven percent are intoxicated when they watch it. You didn't see that?

STEWART: No, I didn't realize that.

O'REILLY: Yeah, we have that there.

STEWART: We come on right after, I believe, puppets that make crank calls...


And in other news, Bill O'Reilly is a Fucking Asshole! Film at Eleven!

1. 100% of O'Reilly viewers
should be medicated.

So now is he saying the drunk shouldn't be able to vote? If that is the case, then should we have a drunk running for re-election?

Wish I could've seen JS's face. I'm sure he just deadpanned his way through it. Film at 11.

2. Nice to know I'm a stoned slacker
This means I will never be associated with the piece of human excrement known as Bill O'Reilly.

3. What the hell kind of poll would THAT be?
"When you watch the Daily Show, are you intoxicated? How about stoned? Buck naked, ever buck naked? Ever eat Cheetos while watching the Daily Show?"

Seriously, WHO would do this research???

4. LOL!
I guess if 87% of TDC's viewers are intoxicated, I'd better mix a martini or dust off my bong before tuning in so I can hang with the crowd. Where does that dipshit get his statistics, besides pulling them out of his butt?

5. Meanwhile Fox viewers watch O'Reilly sponsered by the official drugs
of the Republican Party: Paxil, Ambien, and Xanax.

25. Plus beer and whiskey
As long as a large American corporation manufactures the drugs, they are harmless, safe and never cause ANY problems.

7. I'm anoyed at Stewert
O'Reily says he has that "right here?" Why didn't Stewert demand that he prove it. Fucking psychopath making stuff up...

8. Oh, I forgot about this little gem:
Edited on Tue Sep-21-04 10:18 AM by Kid_A
O'REILLY: Don't you think that these guys want to be hip, when McCain was on with you -- Bush hasn't been on with you, right? You would remember that...

STEWART: George Bush?

O'REILLY: Yeah.

STEWART: I don't recall the president stopping by the program.

O'REILLY: But McCain's been on.

STEWART: Yes.

O'REILLY: OK. Kerry's been on, as we mentioned.

STEWART: Yes.

O'REILLY: I've been on. So you've had the three most powerful people beside him on.

STEWART: That's probably right.

*****

You heard it here first! The three most powerful people in the country, besides the President, are John Kerry, John McCain, and Bill O'Reilly!

:puke:

11. Suppose maybe O'Reilly's ticked about that Emmy Jon just won?
Good grief! That's the best O'Reilly can do? I watch the Daily Show daily--2-3 times, on occasion, it's so good--and I'm NEVER intoxicated, stoned or in a psychotic state. Guess I'm in the 13 percentile, huh? O'Reilly makes me sick! Even if I'd known he was interviewing Jon, I wouldn't watch him. Look forward to the film at 11 officially establishing Bill as a F***ing ASSHOLE!!

Curses on him and the ass he rode in on!

12. Wow, I read the whole interview...
Stewart has such a fantastic and subtle way of handing people their asses, don't you think?


STEWART: Do you really believe France is, in any way, worthy of a boycott?

O'REILLY: I do. I think France has really hurt the USA, to be...

STEWART: Really?

O'REILLY: Yes, I do.

STEWART: More than like Saudi Arabia? You would advocate a boycott...

O'REILLY: No, I'm not going to say more than Saudi Arabia. But I'm saying we do a lot...

STEWART: So why not boycott them?


He doesn't really attack O'Reilly, but he does make him look like an asshole without he himself looking like an asshole. If you ask me, I think Stewart himself would make a great candidate someday.

13. I watch the Daily Show, and I'm voting
So at least I am not a slacker, O'Reilly! He'd hate to know that I vote every election, and always for the pro-marijuana-decriminalization measures.

14. O'Reilly apparently feels threatened enough to make a big issue
about Kerry appearing on the Daily Show. Or, I suspect the coWard-in-chief was having O'Reilly do his dirty work for him. Undermine the show & its viewers in front of the audience of sheep because the coWard-in-chief isn't hip enough to have been asked to be a guest on the show.

There should be a law against fake news networks whose aim is to misinform viewers.

15. Where does O'Reilly get these numbers?
87% are intoxicated?

He had to have pulled that out of his ass, right? 87 fucking percent?!

17. He has two Peabody awards
Or at least, the program he used to be on got them after he left. I think they were Peabodys. Something with a P.

18. As Paul Krugman said, "O'Reilly just makes shit up"
O'REILLY: Eighty-seven percent are intoxicated when they watch it. You didn't see that?

Where did he pull this figure from? Probably the same place he pulls most of his 'information' from -- his ass.

Stewart should have demanded a source for that figure immediately, and then challenged O'Reilly on the source. Of course, Stewart isn't going on these shows to present himself as some kind of grand journalist -- after all, TDS billboards in NYC say "The #1 name in fake news".

24. Jon isn't going to "demand" any sources.
As he said one night to Tweety, after Tweety asked why Jon didn't ask tough questions of Kerry:

"Because I'm a COMMEEEEEEEEDIAN!"

22. I watch it (middle aged, non-drinker, non-drug user).
I know I'm out of the demographics for the show, but I watch it every chance I get. If I miss it the first time it comes on, I try to catch the repeat later that night. That show is Funny, with a capital F!

26. Well, the Daily Show won a couple of Emmys.
O'Reilly didn't get nominated. Seems Faux is suffering from envy.
