Obama Interview on MTP as channeled by SMB
Brian’s ‘Pocky Stan and Tally Ban - priceless.
Live From Londonistan:
Tom Brokaw: President Obama, you’ve shocked the globe. In the past week, world leaders have gobbled your balls and asked for seconds. You’re a giant on the world stage and have been compared with the saviour of mankind.
Does this surprise you?
Sen. Obama: Quite frankly no, Tom. You’ve tasted my balls and their creamy goodness is self-evident.
Brokaw: Right you are, sir. Though omniscient, have you learned anything through your travels to the Middle East, France, Germany, and England?
Obama: Um, nothing I didn’t know already. We still need to gather allies to fight the Tally Ban and apply pressure to Pocky Stan. Nor can we underscore the “Sunni Awakening” that has conveniently given our nation’s enlisted war criminals an opportunity to leave Iraq gracefully or be thrown out.
For those too dim to understand, this is S.A.T.I.R.E.
Thanks Toni.
If you get a chance to watch a re-run of the now Russertless and consequently rudderless MTP, you’ll see that I didn’t have to embellish the truth that much. I wrote much of it as the episode unfolded and if you watch some of the clips you’ll see that the parody truly is thin. Pocky Ston, Tolly Bon, giving the Sunnis credit for decreased violence, the hubris of the intro…it’s all there.
Brokaw looked terrified of having to ask anything that resembled a fair questions. Especially when quoting at length a milquetoast moderate like David Brooks or the USA Today editorial board. No follow-ups (standard Russert issue). And a constantly quivering bottom lip. Catholics are less intimidated to meet the Pope than the media are to be one on one with their messiah. Dangerous stuff.
