Yesterday on The View, Woody Harrelson was on to discuss his latest movie called “The Messenger.” It’s about a soldier whose duty it is to make the death notifications to the families of the fallen. Now, Woody’s anti-war stance doesn’t go un-noticed on The View, but when Joy asked Woody about Afghanistan, Woody does something I’ve never seen anyone else do – leave her speechless.
Watch, laugh, then stare uncomfortably at this weirdo, Woody, after he makes his “pipeline” comment. Stupid freak.
Monica Crowley, sitting in tonight for Bill O’Reilly, discussed the media coverage of Michael Jackson’s death with Dr. Mark Lamont Hill, Temple University Professor, and James T. Harris, host of “The National Conversation” in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Crowley began the segment showing some of the laudatory coverage during the BET Awards last night, most notably by Jamie Foxx. At one point, Foxx declares they’re there to “celebrate this black man,” proclaiming “he belongs to us (black people); we shared him with everybody else.”
Later on in the show, Foxx asks the BET audience to “make some noise” because the ‘media is spreading bad stories about him,’ but he needs the audience to show some love for Michael to over-ride that negative coverage. Crowley also played some red-carpet footage of P. Diddy and Beyonce expressing what a bad rap MJ was getting in the press, and it just went downhill from there (for me, anyway). Diddy tried to declare that there was never any negative press about JFK or Elvis, that MJ was one of the “greatest heroes for us,” stating that “he’s one of the reasons why Barack Obama is president.” (Is this something to brag about?)
Crowley points out the media covered white celebrity deaths of Elvis Presley, Heath Ledger, Gerry Garcia and Anna Nicole Smith, noting all reports discussed their drug-related incidents surrounding their deaths. Then James Harris steps in to discuss the reality of the situations, and gives great arguments about the blind-eye the black community tries to use to recognize, in a sanitary condition, the same type of celebrities and their deaths which are really mired in troubled lives.
This was a really great segment. Monica, you did a great job!
Tonight on Bill O’Reilly, Jon Voight was a guest and he discussed his speech last night given at a Republican fund-raising dinner, and how he believes Obama is really taking this country on a road of disaster. Voight echoed both Hillary and Biden, who both said during the primaries, that Obama is inexperienced and naive, so he wants to know (as do I) how this happened? We all saw Fascism coming; we all saw wealth-spreading coming; we all saw anti-capitalism coming; yet somehow, enough Americans were zombified by the Hopenchange mantra that they voted him into office – 53% did, anyway.
Voight also points out very well that we, as a nation, are now weaker on foreign policy, and he says foes like North Korea and Iran know it.
Jon Voight is a courageous man, and he’s calling it like he sees it. In fact, he’s calling it like MOST of us see it now. We’re on a Pravda-noted “break-neck speed” course to Socialism (except it’s more like fascism). Don’t you just hate it when someone in Hollywood tells the truth? Not you, my fellow realists – I’m speaking to YOU, the kool-aid drinking libs who have over-indulged in the Obama jesus juice.
You have been fooled, and the rest of the country is paying the price. In fact, your grandchildren and GREAT grandchildren will be paying the price long after we’re gone. I hope you’re proud of yourselves.
Tonight was one of the funniest Miller Time segments on O’Reilly that I’ve seen in a long time. Apparently Dennis’ brother is a publicist or something for Borat, and O’Reilly was asking for the skinny on the MTV prank. Was it real or staged? Either way, you have to admit this MT made you laugh. I laughed until I cried. O’Reilly also asked Miller’s opinion on the Gitmo Uighurs getting laptops to learn how to use the internet. Uighurs? Wiggles? Teletubbies?
I also think O’Reilly genuinely laughed for the first time ever. This was hilarious.
The last subject was that of an Oklahoma pharmacist who’d been robbed at gunpoint, and he killed one of the perps, and killed him REALLY well! He was charged with 1st Degree Murder, and I have to agree with O’Reilly on this one. The over-charging of this pharmacist is over-kill (no pun intended), and there is no Oklahoma jury who will find this man guilty.
Miller Time for Wednesday, May 13th. Here’s a portion of the transcript:
O’REILLY: … All right. White House Correspondents’ Dinner. My man Miller here actually emceed an event for Bush the elder, and you were pretty tame. I mean, you didn’t go after anybody, did you?
MILLER: Oh, I was scared witless. I mean, you know, I was just a kid trying to make it, and it was Bush 41. I thought Wanda Sykes was kind of funny, for a girl. That’s a joke, Wanda. You know it. That’s all she’s doing today is explaining that. It was a joke. And the way I look at Wanda Sykes, man, I thought he was going to bring Reverend Wright in. So Wanda Sykes seems — that seems like a respite from the sturm und drang. I thought he might do Jeremiah down to do the gig. I thought Wanda was probably eager to please. I mean, you’re a black comedienne, and you’ve got a black president. I mean, can you imagine how much she needed to make him approve of her? So he went for it, and it looks like it worked. He was laughing his butt off, especially at the — you know, the…
O’REILLY: It all went south. Taken from somebody who was there in the front row, and I was. It all went south in the last 10 minutes. The first 15 minutes were fine. But then she got mean. And here’s my question to you. The remarks about Limbaugh, about Sarah Palin, Cheney to some extent — that wasn’t over the top — were mean. And then they flashed to Obama laughing at the meanness. I don’t think that does him any good there, Dennis.
MILLER: Well, listen. Cheney thrives on that stuff. It’s like Dennis Hopper with the mask in “Blue Velvet.” He just eats that stuff up. But I would say this. I don’t think she was a pro that night. You know, a comedian’s judged by somebody whether they’re a pro or a non-pro. I don’t know how funny or funny it wasn’t. But I do know it wasn’t pro, because at some point you get hired, and she didn’t fill the requisite out for what they needed. They needed it to be edgy but to not make it feel weird.
O’REILLY: Right.
MILLER: She obviously made it feel weird. So I’m just talking as a professional comedian. I would say she didn’t come up to the mandate. And you know what? I think she could care less about the mandate. She wanted to make Barack Obama laugh. And when she went for the Limbaugh’s kidney failures, you know, she killed it, knocked it out of the park. So I’m sure she’s happy about it.
Listen, it would be, you know — it’s, you know it’s not everybody’s thing. But if Limbaugh does get renal failure, I hope it doesn’t happen under Barack Obama’s national health line — healthcare thing. Because they don’t pay attention to that. It’s always stuff like chronic fatigue syndrome or I don’t have enough diversity training. You know, but renal failure I don’t even know if that’s covered under the universal plan.
O’REILLY: Now, when you did your gig for Bush the elder, did they tell you what you could and couldn’t say? Did they go over your script? Did they scrutinize you?
MILLER: Yes, Bush did. Bush 41 grabbed me. He said, “I don’t want any f-bombs. My wife is here.”
O’REILLY: Really?
MILLER: Yes. It was cool. I liked Bush 41. You know, I think he missed the point on a couple things. I wish he’d went up that road and croaked that tote over that. But he was just a straightforward guy: “My wife is here, I don’t want any f-bombs.” He was pretty cool about it. So at the end I remember leaning in to him, saying, “Was that OK, Mr. President?” He said, “Yes, it was. It was OK.” And I felt good. If I’d walked out of that room and felt like I let him down I would have felt really bad.
I think Wanda understood there was no way she could let Obama down. I don’t think he rides like Bush. You know, he’s a little more — give you a little more space. None of it really matters to him. When she said, “I hope his kidneys fail” — when she said, “I hope his kidneys fail,” it’s like easy to wish for the outlandish like that, because it’s probably not going to happen. She could hope that Limbaugh’s kidneys fail. I could hope that she would have been a little wittier and pithier that night. Neither one of us were close to having that happen.
O’REILLY: No, but again, it hurts Barack Obama to be seen as accepting that kind of stuff. And it does. It does. Even for people…
MILLER: Who does it hurt? Do you think he cares?
O’REILLY: I think — I think it hurt him. I do. I think the last…
MILLER: I think he could care less, Bill. He is so front-running right now. They’re so in the bag for him. He feels bulletproof. I don’t think he thinks twice.
O’REILLY: There’s such a thing as dignity, and that’s what I think the line was there.
Now, your pal Donald Trump said that Miss California is OK. She’s allowed to proceed as runner-up. And you say?
MILLER: Trump had to do something. I thought he was — he thought this was all going to comb over. And when it didn’t, he had to protect the brand. You know, he had to dive on the commerce grenade. So I understand what he’s doing here. But listen, it was his fault from the get-go. I don’t know why he has this Concepcion Ramada (ph) — what’s that? I knew his name was a guy who played infield for Sparky Anderson’s…
O’REILLY: Perez. Right.
MILLER: I had it mistaken. It’s Perez Hilton, not Conception Ramada. But I’m happy for Miss USA or Miss California, whatever she is. How many people get summoned to testify for their God like that? I mean, she must — she must be happy. She got to stand up. How good would that make you feel about yourself?
And as far as provocative photos go from your youth. Billy, I remember when I first met you, you were 19 years old. We were in an auto show in Teaneck, New Jersey. You were standing there next to a revolving Z-28 in a pool board, Drew Merriwhether (ph) cat suit. And I look back on it, it doesn’t seem provocative. Nostalgic for those times when you were an automobile model.
O’REILLY: Hey, Miller, give me one favor. Say hello to Khalid Sheik Mohammed for me out of Gitmo.
We unfortunately lost actor Ron Silver over the weekend, and Neil Cavuto showed some past interviews with him from his show. This was a sweet and poignant tribute to Mr. Silver.
A good friend passed along this video to me today, and it couldn’t have come on a better day. Enjoy!

I am SO proud of one of my home state’s Republican Senators, Tom Coburn. Not only is he a fine Senator, but he’s also a physician. Today he fired a warning shot across the bow to Dems, saying that if they think they can vote yes on the “deem to pass” rule but think they [...]

I don’t agree with Stewart’s political views, but when he’s funny, he’s really funny. Check out this latest video of his recent discovery of Chatroulette.
I didn’t know Brian Williams had that good a sense of humor! I needed this laugh today.
