My uncle, Roger keeps up on current events and is also really smart (he owns his own comic book store and he’s only 51!) LOL

You have to hand it to Arianna.Gutfeld’s stuff is hilarious and it must really upset most of her viewers,let alone the Kos crowd.There’s very little humor on the Left.

Hey, guys, y’all think Rove had a hand in it? Seems that Bush has picked Sen. Fred Thompson to help shepherd the yet-to-be Supreme Court nominee through the senate. Fancy that, an actor who stars in Law & Order being part of this important political process. Something tells me that whoever Bush picks as his choice is going to be a very interesting person indeed.

Gutfeld does not know the half of it.

I will not be betraying anything that we the True Believers donít know ñ and the if any infidel reads this, his brain will be scrambled by the Rovian Mind Rays ñ but a ìRoveî is actually a code name. If you rearrange the letters of his name you will get VORE, which is, obviously, an abbreviation from Carnivore. Thus, the true name of our Master is revealed. Bwaahahahaha!

This is a parody, right?

President Bush pick of ex-Sen. Thompson is brilliant. To me it is a sign that he realizes the pick is going to be a PR war that is going to be fought mainly outside the halls of the Senate.Whoever he picks is going to be termed an extremist. The search for Anita Hill like ghosts from the past is already going on for every potential candidate.President Bush is gearing up for battle and it is going to be ugly. I imagine they will find someone from the past that he/she yelled at or threw a pencil at.

51 and a smart comic book store owner. An accomplishment that exceeds that of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. Wait a minute, Jobs is kind of a comic book store owner now, isn’t he?

I’m guessing he’s pulling my leg (by the way that could be considered assault in Rove world). Thank you, President Bush. Your association with Karl Rove is driving the loony left even more insane. This is great, I love it.

Gutfeld? Wasn’t he the bad guy in “The Maltese Falcon” or one of James Bond’s adventures or something?

Perhaps it was Rovian Mind Rays at work, but I was engaged in a little anagram work of my own after reading GUtfeld’s latest (and before returning here to read Katherine’s comment).

I came up with the not-so-complimentary (depending on your tastes) “Real Korv”. [ooops, Don't tell the libs!]

Seems to me Fred’s got plenty of experience with political processess.

Fancy the fact that Fred Thompson’s bio lists his work as assistant U.S. attorney 1969-1972; minority counsel, Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities (ìWatergate Committeeî) 1973-1974; special counsel to Tennessee Governor Lamar Alexander 1980; special counsel, Senate Committee on Foreign Relations 1980-1981; special counsel, Senate Intelligence Committee 1982; member, Tennessee Appellate Court Nominating Commission 1985-1987;

And that’s before he even got elected to the US Senate for Tennessee (replacing Al Gore), where he served for over 10 years.

But most of us love for his work in Die Hard 2 all the same.

Correction, Fred was in the Senate 9 years.

Karl Rove? Karl Rove is a virus from a phantom malevolent universe. Karl Rove is a living wikipedia illustration of Hannah Arendt’s banality of evil. Karl Rove is an anagram for Krevalor, one of the names of the evil deceiver in the Book of Mhindhi. Karl Rove is the double Y chromo of the body politic. Karl Rove’s mission on this planet is to reduce all sentient beings (i.e, the ones mostly on the progressive side of the ledger) to abject servility. Karl Rove leaves a green spectral trail wherever he goes.

Roger, fez up. Are you really Uncle Roger?

You sure this wasn’t ghosted by Lileks?

I wasn’t impressed with Gutfeld at first, but he’s really starting to grow on me. Loved the comments from the humorless libs on that post, too!

Lola — The best thing about picking Thompson is it will give Dick Wolf, his producer, a major nosebleed. According to that jackass, all the major crime in NYC is the result of either the Federal Gummint or Angry White Males (or Angry White Males working for the Federal Gummint)…

And the sad thing is, Gutfeld’s commentary makes as much or more sense than most of the stuff on Kos and DU combined!

What’s really annoying about Law & Order (still all 3 are among my favorite shows) isn’t that most of the bad guys are white. It’s that they take crimes committed by minorities in real life, and change them to white people for the show. The hands down winner for most jarring moment in TV in the past year was the last episode of the original series, when the just fired assst. DA asks if it was because she was a lesbian. Not one person I have asked about it had any idea the character was a lesbian before that moment. It was simply gratuitous.
