- JedicodeWarrior, on 03/18/2008, -2/+35I love Lewis Black's style. He's pretty much spot on when it comes to Bush.
- inactive, on 03/18/2008, -4/+27dugg for lewis black.
- inactive, on 03/18/2008, -7/+25You voted him in twice
well done - firesphotons, on 03/18/2008, -2/+17Yet one of my professional colleagues, a Baptist, says Bush is a great man. He goes on further to say the problems in America are from too many abortions and unchecked homosexual activities. Now I know this isn't the rhetoric of every baptist church but I submit to you that it should be the rhetoric of no church at all.
- fuckingusername, on 03/18/2008, -3/+16now Bush is telling people to spend to get the economy rolling.
shows you how out of touch in reality he is.... - oldlostcory, on 03/18/2008, -3/+16My favorite comedian, hands down. Digged for his awesomeness.
- NonServium, on 03/18/2008, -0/+11Must keep pretending voter fraud isn't happening... must keep pretending what the machines report as the votes is real... must ignore proven backdoors in those machines....
- Suzilla, on 03/18/2008, -0/+9As opposed to the "morons" who voted for Bush because of the "tax rebate" he promised during the 2000 election?
We need to stop making morons. People need to be educated. They need to be literate and they need to learn to think critically. This, of course, is the last thing the current electocracy wants to see, so they continue to support, defend, and otherwise stoke the machine that churns out the simple minds that will make and buy the crap that turns their lives into corporate wealth.
Wise up. - inactive, on 03/18/2008, -1/+10Who cares if this is an old video. Not all of us spend 24 hours a day on the Internet viewing every single video clip in existence.
Diggers who bitch about something they have seen before are lame.
I am digging this up because it rocks. - satyr9us, on 03/18/2008, -1/+10Lewis Black is probably the only person in the universe who can slip into old-man mode, eyes crossed and hands all shakey, and still give you the impression that he could tear the head off a lion.
- inkyblue2, on 03/18/2008, -1/+9it was the rural areas. look at a red/blue map of the country divided up by county and learn a thing or two.
also, it's hard not to laugh at your characterization of the left as the side that "promises free *****" while the right has been promising tax cuts and MAILING OUT CHECKS in the face of a national deficit. - motivatedmama, on 03/18/2008, -3/+10Lewis Black is cool. Actually have this in the files! Nice taste NoDrama!
- Dr0x, on 03/18/2008, -1/+7I love Lewis Black, I was even lucky enough to see him live when he came to Chicago. The way he tells his jokes with such rage really gets the audience involved. The sad thing is all his jokes tend to be real situations. Who ever thought Reality could be so entertaining.
- hipnerd, on 03/18/2008, -1/+7How has Gore even come close to demonstrating the massive level of incompetence demonstrated by Bush? As Bill Maher said, "We were told that the difference between Gore and Bush was the difference between Coke and Pepsi. It actually was the difference between Coke and 'Jesus juice'."
- floridiot2, on 03/18/2008, -0/+6Well, the machines voted him in twice..
- inactive, on 03/18/2008, -0/+6**I'm saying we need to stop encouraging everyone who can blink to vote. When MTV, every major radio station, and brainwashing t.v. news channel tell you "spend a few minutes tonight, do some research, and get out and vote!"
Should it really be taken so lightly? I'm simply saying we have morons electing idiots. - plunderphonics, on 03/18/2008, -2/+8I love the youtube description- "it paints the president in a not entirely flattering light"
- Banelos, on 03/18/2008, -0/+5"I should have known earlier about President Bush, but I gave him some rope.. A lot of rope and then he hung all of us with it." -Lewis Black
So true sadly. - EarthernJar, on 03/18/2008, -2/+7It's very simple: if you voted for Bush last round, then you've clearly demonstrated you're incapable of making important voting decisions and should have to sit the election out.
- jwkep, on 03/18/2008, -0/+5Basically the repubs are able to sell things that are against peoples self interest by burying it in shiny neat things. They are great at spinning facts and speaking to people's base emotions of exclusion and fear. This country is the most powerful country on the planet yet we have the highest rate of crime, the worst educational system and the largest disparity in the standard of living in the developed world. Libs are not promising "free *****" as you say but a promise for better living standards for all americans. All the while conservatives are screaming "socialized medicine!!" and the uneducated base is saying wow, I'm voting for them because socialized=communism and look what happened to russia, all the wile ignoring the fact that in european countries and in canada they enjoy a better living standard than the majority of americans do. The word "socialized" is a repub tool and buzzword. It's not the college educated that are keeping the repubs in power it's the brainwashed lower middle class and poor. There aren't enough republican elite to have floated GWB in the last elections. Have you ever heard of the religious right?
- IgWannA, on 03/18/2008, -0/+5for a guy who nearly lost a battle with a pretzel i'm surprised he survived an attack from a tree.
- bjornski, on 03/18/2008, -0/+5It's your patriotic duty to "spend! spend! spend!".
Fill those tanks, guys! Mission accomplished! - inactive, on 03/18/2008, -3/+7If bush and pals dont do jail time, america will fall. I dont give a ***** about republican or democrat, crimes against the people, the constitution are unacceptable. Free people do not tollerate dictators.
We dont have a voice, we dont have a choice. They rigg the primaries and the general election and you think we are free? They can tap our phones start wars against the constitution, and we are free, we are the same people that we were in 1776?
*****, if this was the america with americans from 1776, we would be in every ***** stree with guns taking the country back. - bjornski, on 03/18/2008, -1/+5There's nothing positive to post.
- blinkatron, on 03/18/2008, -1/+5what? that doesn't make sense... I would assume you would only find this funny IF you have a clue... unlike our prez
- NoDrama, on 03/18/2008, -0/+4That's part of the beauty, it's still timely commentary years after he first used the article to fuel a bit in his routine. Thanks for looking in.
Meanwhile, it served to draw attention to the other URL in the description. - inactive, on 03/18/2008, -2/+6I bury you for burying Lewis. You cannot bury this performance, regardless of its age!
- inactive, on 03/18/2008, -2/+5Red, White, and Screwed is an "oldie?" Seriously? Black on Broadway is an "oldie" but RWS is one of his latest performances.
- bjornski, on 03/18/2008, -0/+3Yeah, this country needs an additional 3 million births a year.
Not saying abortion is the way to do it. Education and prevention would be a better way to keep the population from booming with the crotch-droppings of idiots, but seriously, with this economy, the last thing we need is millions more babies born to parents who aren't fit to raise them.
Unless you personally will take one of the "saved" babies, shut the ***** up. It's not your choice. - laserblazer, on 03/18/2008, -0/+3The truth of Bush's actions long since painted that mural of shame.
- bjornski, on 03/18/2008, -0/+3Have you not been paying attention for the last 8 years?
Yeah, gee, damn liberals, huh? They're not the ones who got us into this *****-storm. - Banelos, on 03/18/2008, -0/+2Lewis Black is awesome as always. I liked these two clips from the same show better though:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=S3_EwUERW1U&feature=rel ...
http://youtube.com/watch?v=1_BRZoXjOmI&feature=rel ... - JedicodeWarrior, on 03/18/2008, -1/+3Something got drizzled on your popcorn, I'm not sure it was butter, though.
- unfilterthought, on 03/18/2008, -0/+2When I went to see Lewis Black live, he apologized because some people get depressed after watching him. If you watch his old specials, he didn't use to focus on such serious issues.
- diggzilla, on 03/18/2008, -3/+5One word: Hilarious.
- Samjay23, on 03/18/2008, -3/+5I believe Bush is in a completely different Time-Space Continuum.
- inactive, on 03/18/2008, -0/+2They were AMPUTEES. Maybe people with eyes gouged out should have jokes about "seeing the light"?
What are you thinking? Humor is good medicine but not like this, no way. - matt70, on 03/19/2008, -0/+1Actually, the Supreme Court appointed him the first time and the State of Ohio gave him the second one regardless of how their people voted.
- bjornski, on 03/18/2008, -0/+1I think you mean "socialized != communism", but I love the statement.
Funny how this "socialized" government keeps giving big business/banks bailouts while it lets the people ***** just bite it. Corporate welfare. Bailing out the rich. Socializing the expense while privatizing the profits. That's not socialism. That's damn near communism. "We must preserve the state! If the banks fail, we all fail!"
*****. - sigg14, on 03/18/2008, -2/+3presidents are not elected they are selected
- BohicaTwentyTwo, on 03/18/2008, -5/+6Buried for calling standup routine 'reporting'.
FAIL awarded for not knowing the difference between news and comedy. - chokeaduck, on 03/18/2008, -0/+1I love Lewis Black, wish I could digg this more than once!
- kevinsboy, on 03/18/2008, -0/+1In my lifetime, we've gone from Eisenhower to George W. Bush. We've gone from John F. Kennedy to Al Gore. If this is evolution, I believe that in 12 years, we'll be voting for plants.
-Lewis Black - hipnerd, on 03/19/2008, -1/+2@NonServium: I disagree. Bush is an idiot. He didn't plan on the mess in Iraq. And he refuses to acknowledge the reality that he was wrong. I'm not excusing his actions, but that doesn;t make him less of a moron.
Gore? While he was Vice-President he lead the governments initiatives on information technologies -- pushing the Internet hard into the private sector. He also championed the National Performance Review, which the Clinton Administration used to help cut bureaucracy and government waste, often working across the aisle with the Republican Congress.
I agree with you on the damaging effects of NAFTA, although I remember at the time I hoped that a large free-trade zone would help our economy compete with the recently formed European Union. The DMCA passed unanimously in the Senate. Trying to hang that on Gore is rather stupid.
Gore had absolutely nothing to do with a bunch of religious nutjobs stockpiling automatic weapons and explosives in a compound. The ATF went after them on their own and the FBI botched the raid. It's not like Gore was on-site screaming, "Shoot, the bastards!" into a megaphone. Although the FBI and ATF share some of the blame, the Branch Davidians brought it on themselves.
Oh and I'm a 911-conspiracy denier, too -- but that's only because I forgot to put on my tinfoil hat and magic underwear. - inactive, on 03/18/2008, -1/+2Well, half of us did. Go democracy?
Supporting my argument -- less people should vote. - bjornski, on 03/18/2008, -0/+1Die in a ***** Nike fueled chemical fire, you spamming piece of *****.
- plizard, on 03/18/2008, -2/+3Hey! I wanted butter with this popcorn!
- NoDrama, on 03/18/2008, -0/+1Well, he read from a newspaper article, I guess it's really coverage of reporting.
- HtomSirveaux, on 03/18/2008, -0/+1If there was a just and loving God, a cedar tree would uproot itself, run over and start choking the president.
