OMG! Samantha Bee interviews Frank Luntz on TDS!
Catch the 1:00 a.m. re-run. How the hell did this guy agree to sit for a fake Daily Show interview? Great laughs as Samantha asks him to come up with better words for "Drilling for Oil," "Logging," "Manipulation," and...you gotta catch the look on Luntz's face when she asks the final word...CLASSIC!

2. Because he has screwed himself and has nowhere to go
He initially hid his GOP bonafides, then admitted them, then tried to back away from them, all the while on the GOP payroll and serving as an "independent" (my ass) pollster for MSNBC. They must have fired him, Lord knows I complained enough--every time I saw that fat fuck's face on tv, I shot off an email.

He jumped that shark, and at that point in your life, ANY publicity is good publicity.

3. Because they know the rubes that vote for them
don't watch TDS anyway. And if they DID see the segment they probably wouldn't believe it.

Very cynical, arrogant bastards are they.

5. Agree!
Simultaneously the saddest and funniest thing I've seen in a while. Who knows how creative editing changed the context, but Luntz really must be a moron to let Samantha Bee interview him. She's hilarious.

7. That was a classic *journalistic* piece...!

Wow! In just 5 minutes, Samantha Bee lays out Bush, Frank Luntz, Bush's Social Security piratization plan and his phony town halls -- and by her example of what hard-hitting journalism used to be, the mainstream media.

Wow.

I haven't been on DU in a while but had to come over here to make sure people heard about it. I highly recommend catching it tonight or in tomorrow's episodes; otherwise, I'll try to get it uploaded within the next 24, if someone else doesn't beat me to it.

A must see!

8. Luntz is up front with this.
He goes on Franken and does the same thing. He knows it doesn't matter if he lets it hang out. The "big lie" just works, even if they know it.

11. Luntz had a synonym for almost every word....except one...
:) Instead of air pollution, say "clear skies". Instead of "drilling for oil" it is "exploration of oil". Instead of "Orwellian' it is..........................Luntz tongue-tied! :)

12. LUNTZ - "A town hall can be really dangerous if it gets out of control"
His job: "Spraying perfume on dog (doo)."
