Just to back up a bit: R Maddow, at least, has spent lots of time covering EFCA -- actually she started covering Hilda Solis during the confirmation process, pointing out that Solis' support of EFCA was almost certainly the issue Repubs were delaying her for, regardless of what they were saying on the record. She has re-reported on EFCA many times since then, including what right-wingers are saying about it in the news, and how they're simply factually WRONG about what EFCA contains and what it would mean for employees in practice.

next completely off the hook moment, shep should get his own thread, i don't really want to talk about the other people on fox any more. studio b seems to have more of those. i can't believe that for all these years i was totally unaware of the weirdest show on television.

afaik, just a random guest booked on the show who wasn't used to doing TV and got nervous/ill. that keyboard cat song is waaayyyyy too damn catchy
watching studio b @ the moment. interview with bernie madoff's secretary who is sort of getting cross-examined right here & doesn't seem to have expected it - which is very entertaining.

The thing I love about the Glenn Beck one is Keyboard Cat getting ready, waiting for the guy to eventually pass out before playing.

I now feel kind of bad for the "I'm going to pass out" guy in the Glenn Beck clip.
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 7 May 2009 22:57 (seventeen years ago)
Yeah, and Beck was all "hey shake my hand and go pass out off-camera, guy"... 'cept he didn't make it.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 7 May 2009 23:02 (seventeen years ago)
That's funny that you interpreted it that way. I actually thought he seemed pretty sympathetic, too, in a "I'm emotionally close to the edge myself and I feel for you, man" sort-of-way.
But I can see how you got to your interpretation.
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 7 May 2009 23:06 (seventeen years ago)
i don't have any software here to make an interwebs meme out of this thing, but.. bret baier cracks me the hell up. at the end of his show every day (this is just before shep is on at 7), they play some humorous little clip from daily show or late night tv. i guess those are funny but what is REALLY funny is baier's reaction to this - they always show him chuckling at it afterward and it is exactly the same reaction every single time. i can't really explain why this is so hilarious but it is. he's his own moment of zen.

the host is a smarmy asshole and the commentators are no names who'll say whatever just to keep the show even the slightest bit lively
i dont even understand why fox news produces the show? it runs at 3 AM ET/2 AM CT only and they don't replay it during the day at all - who is watching the show? i dont understand it
― hazmat yayo (J0rdan S.), Friday, 29 May 2009 11:53 (seventeen years ago)
the 3 AM ET/2 AM CT slot is the worst one in cable - mostly everything has switched to infomercials except for this lineup
cnn: replay of 'the larry king show'msnbc: replay of 'hardball with chris matthews'fox news: first-run of 'red eye'
^^these are the worst shows on each respective network
