LOL! I was on The Daily Show on Thursday night.

They did a compare and contrast thing on liberal protesters vs. the teabaggers. They showed a clip of when I called Bush out as a fascist at Monticello on July 4th. Then there is a freeze frame picture of me above Jon Stewart's head and he turns to the camera and says something like, "Get a haircut, hippy" It's about half way through.

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

John Stewart called me a hippy. Okay, I can die now, my life's mission is complete. I've done it all. Squeezed out another 3 or 4 minutes from that first 15 minutes of fame, I guess. Best July 4th ever.


Thanks go out to all you DUers, (even the ones that have me on ignore ;-) ) Life is one strange friggin' ride.

1. Congratulations!

That is so cool!

:yourock:

[Duer 157099]

2. I saw that!!

At first I was confused, I thought it was a right-winger the way he introduced it, so the hair comment was odd until he played the next clip with the long-haired right-winger.

:thumbsup:

So did they ask your permission to play the clip? LOL

[tavalon]

43. I would pay to have Jon Stewart use such a clip of me

I suspect, though, that that was in the public domain, ergo, the tubes.

[Spazito]

3. Get a job you damn hippy!

WTG, not just for your "15 + 3 or 4 minutes of fame" but for getting out there and calling bush out for what he is!

28. I like this photo from that day the best.

Tighe Barry on the very end, I'm underneath the Peace symbol with fist raised, Desiree Farooz, to my left, DUer, David Swanson to her left, Linda Lisanti of Charlotteville hapter of Code Pink to David's left. I'm sorry I don't recall the woman's name who is flashing the peace sign between me and Tighe. And I think Gael Murphy is taking the photo, pretty much everybody in this photo disrupted Bush's speech that day. More here at afterdowningstreet.org:
