. . . . . you are relentless in the shit you throw at repubicans in general, and Mitch Romney in particular.
Tonight it was "a new segment we call Sweet Jesus Joe Scarborough". It showed a clip of Mitch and Paul at a rally where the assembled 10s of people were chanting Ry-An Ry-An Ry-An. Suddenly Mitt, in that stupid Members Only red jacket he wears starts Romney-Ryan Romney Ryan Romney-Ryan. They then cut to a clip of Joe and Meek, with Joe, face in his hands, saying "Oh Sweet Jesus" in despair.
Dave does this sort of thing every night. He's skewered lots of different repubicans over the years.
Rarely have I seen him go after a Dem. And if he does, it was because the Dem was, at the moment Dave got him, a massive dumbfuck.
Thanks, Dave. It really does help to have a guy like you do this night after night after night after night after night . . . . . .

(206,016 posts)He'll use any excuse to show that clip of the dog banging on Mitch's car window. And after the news came out about his HS bullying, he had daily Mitch "youthful hijinks," usually blowing stuff up...
I've also been in the audience at his show and he's as nice as he appears. He greeted us before the show and after it was over came back out to say a special thank you.

(2,117 posts)just like Latinos like it when he paints his face brown and the unemployed like it when he masquerades as an unemployed American.

He will make fun of the powerful when they show their lack of character.
Remember when he kept running the clip of GW cleaning his glasses on the stage manager's clothes?
Off topic - I still love the sneezing monkey!

(184 posts)I will NEVER forget when he had that big bloated bag of pus Rush Limbaugh on his show and asked him if he woke up at night and thought he was just a bag of hot gas.

(653 posts)Dave's form of ridicule is a very effective way of combating "the denizens of bullshit mountain" as Jon Stewart put it.
Obviously, Jon and Stephen Colbert are great at what they do but my suspicion is that Dave reaches a more mainstream audience or some difference in age demographics.
Every little bit helps.
