Fox News Loses It
« on: March 08, 2013, 05:07:02 pm »
I've seen just about everything on Fox News: global warming deniers, AIDS denialists, gay bashers, etc. So I thought I had seen pretty much everything at this point...and then I saw the folks at Fox & Friends using a Thomas Jefferson impersonator to parrot some Tea Party talking points and interviewing him as if he were real:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eANj0IJ4h4" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eANj0IJ4h4</a>

A couple of thoughts on the interview:

1. Props to the Fox & Friends crew for actually mentioning the separation of church and state on the list of Jefferson's American values. Yeah I was pretty surprised, too.

2. Why do I get the feeling that Jefferson appears to be less shocked about a black man being President than everyone else at Fox?

Yeah, the guy playing Jefferson didn't seem as into it as the rest of the Fox crew was.

Guess they couldn't get Clint Eastwood to interview the impersonator.
Still can't think of a signature a year later.

That would have at least been lulzworthy.

Is it just me or does the Jefferson impersonator look a bit like Colin Mochrie from Whose Line is it Anyways?

If that was the real Jefferson then where were the french whores? Yeah, answer that smartypants.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

The Time Machine could have only been big enough for two passengers.

Yeah, with Jefferson it would have been "Where's the teenage slave and their child?"

Dammit. There goes a semi-bad joke, ruined by the fact that I mix up some foreign politicians from centuries ago.

I guess I'll have to wait untill the next time Fox interviews dead politicians and try again with another joke.
