Byron York on The Daily Show--DORK ALERT! LOL!

[Bouncy Ball]

Oh MY GOD, we use words like "coup" and "conspiracy" and stuff! We're SO dangerous, don'tcha know? :rofl:

(He wrote the book "The Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy." He writes for the National Review.)

He is SUCH A total dork. He isn't even convincing, very mealy-mouthed. He says the book is not meant to trash the left. Yeah. Right.

And Jon is so not into him. LOL. He makes these little digs that the audience laughs at, but this York guy just hesitates then keeps on talking like didn't get it.

1. Well, your last sentence is no surprise!!!

The audience doesn't seem into him, either!

[Bouncy Ball]

4. Were you watching it? When he came out, I noticed that was

THE least enthusiastic applause I have ever heard on The Daily Show. Even Kay Bailey Hutchison got better than that, LOL.

Oh this guy was such a putz. And he didn't even realize Jon was half-laughing at him the whole time. Wasn't the end of the interview great? He was being so sarcastic about the book, but the guy just didn't seem to get it.

:eyes: Boy they got some bright ones on the right don't they?

[MADem]

8. They're so desperate, they will GO on that show

Why???

Because the RIGHT WATCHES IT. And like it or not, they can smell the truth coming out of it!

Loved the Benny Hill music at the end!

11. I hope you're right.

(About the RW watching.)

12. I noticed that

And I got the sense Stewart was a lil uncomfortable and he was just trying to be nice to the guy. :shrug: He has to be fair of course. Bob Dole is supposed to be on tonight (it's Tuesday est). I wonder how that'll go.

2. Wonder how much he got paid for his polemic

What a twisted pretzel

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. I had to change the channel for fear of hurling on my iBook.

So is Jon poking him with sharp sticks?

[Bouncy Ball]

6. Jon was trying to camoflauge his feelings

but in my opinion, he didn't do too well. I was actually laughing. There were a couple of digs Jon got in toward the end I didn't even hear right because the audience started laughing so hard.

The Byron guy DIDN'T laugh.

[checks-n-balances]

9. Didya notice how he said in all seriousness: "They call themselves

the Vast Left Wing Conspiracy"! And he takes it totally seriously - doesn't hear the obvious sarcasm. Unbelievable!

Then, of course, there are the routine references to moveon.org and George Soros. Well, excuse me?? Pot & kettle! Ever heard of Scaife, chief source of RW funding??

I don't know what these people are scared of - they control all aspects of the government plus nearly all of corporate America.

It's like Goliath being afraid of David!

[FreedomAngel82]

13. The reason why the guy

didn't get it was because he obviously thinks it's serious. He knew he was going to be on a show that mainly is appealed towards democrats and/or anti-Bush people and this guy was obviously trying to appeal to them but I think he failed.

5. That was priceless

Jon was poking fun at him the whole time. Byron York is such an earnest dork. The Left is building a machine to rival the Right. Well, no shit Sherlock!

[Bouncy Ball]

7. Yeah, uh, I really learned a lot from that interview. NOT.

:eyes: That had to have been the lamest interview I've seen on TDS.

[FreedomAngel82]

10. I saw that tonight

and was just shaking my head like "oh brother." The guy was trying to claim the book wasn't made to bash us. Ha! Yeah, like I'm going to believe a rightwinger?
