Stephen Colbert has balls

[Admiral_N8]

Admiral, you join the ranks of Lazur and War lord. Congratulations.

No idea who they are...thanks for the attention though

i think he's saying you've reached their level of blind support for bush and partisan hackery. although i'd say it's more of an insult to lazur than the other two. he's gotten a lot better over the last few months. you're just completely mis-informed and seem to mindlessly tow the GOP line.

 

[Calvin]

I was referring to the character he plays on The Report, obviously

Well, the way you said it implied that you needed the 60 Minutes report to realize that it was just an act.

 

[Calvin]

I said Bush has tolerated the most questioning, and he has. Bush has
"put up with something or somebody unpleasant" more than any other president, hes had the most criticism around the country in the world than any other president in the last 60 years.

So my statement is simply and makes sense.

Just because he tries to be secretive doesnt mean he somehow doesnt "put up with something or somebody unpleasant" [which is what tolerate means fyi] Hes put up with the most crap because of what hes done.

Just because he hasn't murdered everyone that questions him doesn't mean he's putting up with it. He's doing the opposite of putting up with a lot of questioning because his administration is less open (re: doesn't answer questions) than pretty much any other administration. So no, your statement wasn't "simply and makes sense." Seriously, from your point of view, what would have have to do to not put up with questioning, if not answering questions doesn't count? Nuke the press?

That doesnt mean he hasnt tolerated all this crap. He has put up with so much criticism, I mean I am sure you read the news and see how many people hate him and throw crap his way.

Simple.

Just because he doesnt speak a lot doesnt mean he doesnt tolerate things....look the word up.

well, he's already stated he doesn't read newspapers and it's pretty well known that his staff insulates him and feeds him only what he wants to hear, so he's probably not aware of most of the criticism against him. he never seems to actually address some of the complaints against him, as evidence by his stubborn refusal to change his policy on many issues. he's fired people within his cabinet and military team who've dared to question some of this policies or offer alternatives. he's stubborn, closed-minded and divorced from what the rest of the country and most of the government believe see as reality. that's no way to run anything, especially the most powerful country in the world. have you ever watched a press confrerence where someone will question his decisions or policies and he goes into his condescending mode where he tries to over-simplfy the situation and talk down to the people asking the question like he's above reproach? he's got horrible diplomatic skills.

Admiral_N8 is exactly the kind of person Colbert is satiring.

yup, the bush apologist type that's helping to drag this country down.

 

[Socrates]

Colbert is great.

"What seems to be the problem, sir?"
"She won't stop asking why we invaded Iraq!"
"Hey why did we invade Iraq?"
"Noooooooo!"

Hehe.

 

[Knightsaber Priss]

Well, I certainly hope the guy has balls. I'd be really worried if he was missing a good pair of them.

 

[C.F. Kane]

Well, the way you said it implied that you needed the 60 Minutes report to realize that it was just an act.

Yeah, after rereading what I posted it does sound foolish.

I often fall victim to my own poor choice of words.

 

[C.F. Kane]

"What seems to be the problem, sir?"
"She won't stop asking why we invaded Iraq!"
"Hey why did we invade Iraq?"
"Noooooooo!"

Hehe.

Yeah, that ruled.

My personal favorite Colberism:

"Anyone can *read* the news *to* you. I plan to *feel* the news *at* you."

 

[Calvin]

S'ok, nobody's perfect. Except Colbert.

Uh-huh sure.

And you are?

He's putting up with it, he has no other choice.

I put up with illegal immigration...even though I dont open up to them, or speak out against it.

Putting up with it simply means living with it, which is what the president has no choice and is doing.

Simple.

He doesnt tolerate it?

Did you ever WATCH or READ about the White House Correspondants dinner???



yeah, he really doesnt put up with lots of stuff.....

 

[Knightsaber Priss]

Uh-huh sure.

And you are?

Tell me, with gas prices the highest they've ever been, rampant illegal immigration, Americans dying overseas and lackadaisical approaches to natural disasters, how has Bush been good for this country?

 

[Admiral_N8]

yup, the bush apologist type that's helping to drag this country down.

I love the little cheerleaders that always show up and pat each other on the backs...and what do ya know?! They are on the same side of the aisle!! So shocking!

So where are your cheerleaders precisely

This thread is really starting to get surreal. I need a translator to decipher this statement for me.

Tax cuts, gas price isnt his fault, illegal immigration [Bush is actually trying to do something about that unlike Clinton or his father], took out Saddam and Taliban, destroying al qeida, handled 9/11 well right around the time, increased research into different technologies by a huge margin, stopped a recession and brought huge growth again to the economy.

that was all superficial stuff about his lack of speaking skills and a charicature of some of the things that have been said in the "liberal" media about him. besides, he didn't even write that lame-ass sketch so why are you even bringing that up. you look like a fool trying to stick up for an even bigger fool. 60% of the country has realized this. i guess you're part of the clueless 32% who still support him.

 

[Admiral_N8]

So where are your cheerleaders precisely

I dont have any, because for 1 guy who like Bush in the least there are about 20 people who hate bush and say if you dont hate Bush you are just ignorant, bringing the country down, a "*****e", needs to "Read a book" etc.

Cute huh

 

[Mr Sparkle]

Illegal Immigration was worse under Clinton, Bush Sr. and reagan.

 

[sinewave]

Uh-huh sure.

And you are?

smart enough to realize when someone is doing a poor job and not dumb enough to blindly follow an incompetent president. that's what i am.

Superficial stuff???

Did you watch Colberts thing? Thats was hugely harsh on Bush, and Bush had to tolerate it.

Did you watch it??

You guys really are very arrogant, saying the people on your side are "the wise one" and those on the other side are "clueless fools".

Grow up maybe?
