16. It's nicer but it's not as funny as Franken. He's sardonic and ironic where Mo is playful and absurd.

17. Did anyone see how the ladies on the View was falling all over Michelle, they are in love with the Obamas? No one asked her about the personal attack she launched against Hillary, this is what she said, " How Can You Run The White House When You Can't Even Run Your Own House." This attack was over the top coming from a woman that want to be the first lady. Michelle Obama will say or do anything to fool the public.

18. Cecil:
"17. Just poking fun at something that makes us bitter and angry is unresponsible."
Is it responsible to leave it alone?
I think, and this is just my opinion, Mo was trying to get at the "spin" machine that takes people's words out of context.
I think our last seven elections could be summarized by one-liners: "Are you better off?"
"Where's the beef," "Willie Horton hears a what?"
"It's about the economy, stupid," "Ditto," "Ain't he talking down to us?" "I was before the Swift Boat before I was agin..."
I think the danger here is in "what you don't know."

I think it elevates Michelle actually--points the finger in a confrontational way at those of us who gobble up what the spin doctors serve...geeze are we primed for another "War of the Worlds"? only televised?
it takes the absurd to point out the absurd----
I wonder if political campaign managers like the game "whack-a-mole"-- it would be good training.

20. If I was Mrs. Obama, I would sue the hell out of your stupid behind. Headlines like that causes some people to really pay attention to that kind of crap. You white people need to stop, now!

21. The most credible reporter there was Honky Smith representing Big Top Press...HE'D never put an acrobatic spin on his filed reports...

22. Is the next Mo Rocca 180 skit hiring actors? I'd be happy to play a "Young McCain"

24. Nix, nobody wants your family history. Muslims have nothing to do with this post. In the Hebrew language, the word Yeshua doesn't exist... that is what the 'Jews for Jesus' say. And I don't know if you've heard, but the 'Jews' for Jesus are not recognized as Jewish by the Jewish religion. Oh, and you probably aren't smart enough to figure it out, but Abram and Abraham are THE SAME PERSON. And the first covenant talked about Abraham's first born son, who was actually Ishmael. God then made a second covenant partaining to Isaac. Get your facts right, stupid.

25. Okay, I'm sleepy. Let's try this again.
Babe, just wanted to remind you of how much I LOVE this blog! (Positive energy to neutralize the crab apple comments.)
Cecil, I know you love my Mo too and that you're just "busting his chops". But for the record, those people at the Correspondents Dinner had obviously forgotten my baby's true identity. The jeers that they shot at him just BOUNCED RIGHT OFF!!!
Sweet dreams, everyone.

26. iynaroc02, please tell me you're only kidding about Mo Rocca "fear mongering" audiences.

27. I love that someone would take the time to defame something they refused to watch. It's a funny, silly, minute and a half video that pokes fun @ the way things can be blown out of proportion when taken out of context. Lighten up people.
P.S. I too look forward to "John McCain" characterizing Barack as the 'most slim' democratic nominee, if only to see the actor who would play McCain :)

28. ... and I am stunned at the way some people take this extremely obvious piece of satire to be a real attempt at attacking Obama with a faked, rumor-disseminating video. I mean, really? You saw this as a real attempt at making out a faux press conference to be true? Please do our country a favor and get a sense of humor or a brain.. or both.
