Joe Kelly already wrote the perfect Superman/Batman story, just put that on film. I'd like to see a fun DC film for a change - there hasn't been one since Batman '66.

Wouldn't the stop-and-frisk program qualify as one of those issues?

Or how about putting American citizens under surveillance, "not because of charges of wrongdoing but ethnicity"? Would that quality?

I'm only asking because Obama spoke out in favor of NYT police commissioner Ray Kelly as the new head of DHS and Kelly's actions just ooze racial profiling.

"This stuff just does not happen"

Wake up. Spend 2 minutes looking for reports by the Toronto Star, CBC and the Globe and Mail and you'll realize it does. An issue in Canada is that if you wish to protect yourself, and use a gun, chances are better that the victim will suffer the wrath of Canadian justice.

Megyn Kelly's response.

Wonder what Megyn Kelly thought of this. Better watch it, Dobbs: she has her eye on your chair!!!

@eric3579, here is a transcript. So you can get the info without the annoying delivery:


And finally, New Rule: there are scandals, and then there are scandals. And perspective is important. Yes, to explain Benghazi, Susan Rice used talking points. But at least she didn't have to read them off her hand! [graphic of Palin looking into her palm]

Now this week, someone was taken off a cross-country flight in handcuffs for singing "I Will Always Love You" for three straight hours. And that's still fewer times has said "Benghazi". I've seen this woman [Megyn Kelly] say Benghazi on my TV so many times, I don't know if it's a problem with the set, or I'm in an Asian horror movie, and there's a monster named Benghazi.

Congressman and friend of Real Time Darrell Issa is the Chairman of the Oversight Committee, and as most Californians know, he made his fortune in car alarms. And now, ironically, has become a loud, repetitive, but ultimately pointless device that you wish to God someone would shut off so you could get some sleep. (audience applause)

But here's the difference between Darrell Issa and a car alarm. Sometimes when a car alarm goes off, there's an actual crime. I keep looking for the crime here, I feel like Reese Witherspoon arguing with the cop. Why are you arresting me? Susan Rice said "mob" instead of "al-Qaeda"? Obama said "act of terror" instead of "terrorist act"?

Republicans are constantly coming up with these never before stated secret rules, that they only tell you about once you've broken them.

"You don't make important speeches from a teleprompter!"

OK.

"No golfing until we have a budget!"

All right.

"Thou shalt not criticize the President when he's on foreign soil, unless he's a Democrat, of course, then it's OK."

Congressman Peter King thundered that the President was almost four minutes into his first Benghazi statement before he mentioned an act of terror! Ah yes, the four-minute rule. Fuck, how could I forget?!

'Scuse me, Nixon ran a burglary ring out of the Oval Office. Reagan traded arms with terrorists. Bush ginned up a war where thousands died by sending Colin Powell to lie to the UN with props, remember that? He turned an American hero into General Carrot Top! But I let it go. I said this is the business we've chosen.

But please, don't tell me that freedom died because Susan Rice broke the scared bond between citizens and talk shows. In a poll this week, 4 in 10 Republicans said Benghazi is the worst scandal in American history. Second worst? Kanye West snatching the mic from Taylor Swift.

If you think Benghazi is worse than slavery, the Trail of Tears, Japanese internment, Tuskegee, purposefully injecting Guatemalan mental patients with syphilis, lying about WMDs, and the fact that banks today are still foreclosing on mortgages they don't own, then your hard-on for Obama has lasted more than four hours, and you need to call a doctor. (wild audience cheering and applause)

And while the press has been occupied with scandal, the biggest scandal, and the most important story of the century so far, happened last week. Scientists reported that the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has passed the long-feared milestone of 400 parts per million. And unless you're a chimney sweep, that's bad news. Because humans have never lived through it.

You think Susan Rice gave bogus talking points about Benghazi? What about the bullshit talking points the entire Republican Party has been spewing on climate change since the 90s? (audience applause)

I wanna see the e-mails to find out who came up with the talking points that global warming is just a theory, and that it needs more study, and climate change is a hoax. The Obama administration isn't dirty, the air is.

Not really new technology. We've already seen Gene Kelly popping to Singing in the Rain and Fred Astaire shilling for vacuum cleaners...

Given I normally hit you with Wham's Last Christmas (so cheesy it's good), I thought you might appreciate one of the few Christmas songs worth playing (the other being the Pogues' Fairytale of New York).

She sounds like a young Michael Jackson. Great cover.


I thought exactly the same!

"Normally I don't do this
But I'm gonna hit ya'll off with a little taste of the remix
Ya'll ready, here we go

I pick you up from the club
take you home to make some love
Got a surprise close your eyes
I'm gonna cover you with suds

I'm gonna give you some poo-poo
I'm gonna give you some pee-pee
I'm gonna give you some doo-doo
Wash it down with some wee-wee

This is the remix edition of the song about pissing
I got that peeing, leaking, reeking, and there's juice in the kitchen

(talking ...)
yeah, that's how it goes at a R. Kelly party
I sip Cris, you drink piss
I'm wanna piss on you remix, ya heard
Nah, I'm serious I really do want to piss on you

current mainstream news will always go towards sensationalism and ratings.

neither side cares about politics, they care about driving up their viewership, Take a look at Megyn Kelly before she worked at Fox vs now. Two.Complete.Different.People

And I'm sure you can say the same thing about MSNBC

*all* current 24 hour news channels are shitty. *all* Of course I'm not saying they're equally shitty. Fox is *clearly* and demonstrably the worst. They SUED for the right to lie. But that's like saying one dying guy is MORE dying than the other dying guy.

The fourth estate in America is clearly broken and it's because of profit motive.
