Tunia February 2, 2018 Share February 2, 2018 12 hours ago, lexytheblasian said: Meghan McCain’s body language screams “I’M NERVOUS!” yet she seems... nervous. I know, completely contradictory but that’s the only way I can think to describe it. She’s much more likable. MM was beyond nervous - she was insufferable. Besides being stuffed into that very ill-fitting red outfit, she was speaking in her most elitist voice. GAHHHH. When she first bounced out, she reminded me of that purposely annoying character in Frasier named Poppy, the daughter of the station owner, who co-incidentally was blond and wearing red. Still talking out of both sides of her mouth: On The View, she defends trump, here she says she wants to see her father go up against him. Then, in talking about her wedding she says "Nobody drank a lot during the reception, which I was happy about." and then went on to say "I wanted my wedding to be like a drunk party." A woman of contradiction, to be sure... 10 Link to comment
GHScorpiosRule February 2, 2018 Share February 2, 2018 I will never ever find that vile, uninformed, willfully ignorant creature likeable. Because she's not. She puts on different faces depending on who the crowd is. Lemme guess, she didn't give any stank eye to the audience? 9 Link to comment

It was cute for the moment but I’m not easily deceived; it was an obvious act. This has to be some sort of damage control. Stephen Colbert is the anti-Trump, late night Liberal she claims to despise on The View. And yup, she was all smiles during this interview. 9 hours ago, Tunia said: MM was beyond nervous - she was insufferable.

OMG, that comment about wanting her dad to get better just to stand up to Trump really pissed me off. She rarely brings up her dad standing up to Trump on The View. A woman of contradiction is an understatement. Yeah, laugh and kiss up to Colbert and his audience all you want, Meghan. And then she tried to blame her going off on Joy during political discussions because she hasn’t had her latte yet. She’s fake, plain and simple.

Annber03 February 8, 2018 Share February 8, 2018 Loved seeing Oliver on there. His reaction to Stephen asking whether "kiss the ring" meant something else in England was hilarious. And I liked Oliver's commentary on the royal family, too. So glad Oliver's show will be back soon. 4 Link to comment

Annber03 February 10, 2018 Share February 10, 2018 I loved Jon's face, too, during that. And I liked how Stephen kept building up each new revelation in the interview, with how he was all, "But that's not the most shocking moment..." "And that's still not the biggest bombshell!" 2 Link to comment

SomeTameGazelle February 20, 2018 Share February 20, 2018 (edited) I don't have a clever title for this thread, but I was just enjoying a Real News Tonight segment from last week's repeats and wanted to comment that it's consistently one of my favourites. Jim Anchorton and Jill Newslady are so soothing and determined to please. First Drafts doesn't always work for me but I loved the most recent Valentine's cards. The Amor/Amour/Amore card especially tickled my sense of humour. What else is there? Covetton House, Big Furry Hat, Midnight Confessions . . .

opus February 20, 2018 Share February 20, 2018 I like Midnight Confessions and the Furry Hat (I guess the common theme there is random thoughts and one liners). l think Covetton House is popular around here, but that one doesn't really do it for me. 4 Link to comment
bilgistic February 20, 2018 Share February 20, 2018 Heh. I'm the opposite. I don't really like either the Big Furry Hat or Midnight Confessions segments.

wonderwoman February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 okay, so this is going to be shallow -- very shallow. and before i start, let me say that i fully understand how unfair it is that women are judged on how we look and what we wear. however... last night, as i was watching kirsten gillibrand on colbert last night, i was so distracted by her appearence i could hardly concentrate on what she was saying. she looked as though she had dressed for a funeral -- and she just doesn't have the stuff to pull off all black with panache -- but her jacket was so ill-fitting that was all i could see. for fuck sake: look in the mirror before buying an outfit; if it doesn't fit properly, get it tailored -- or keep looking. 1 Link to comment
Caseysgirl February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 Actually, I prefer my US Senators to be more concerned with representing my interests than appearing sexy or otherwise attractive on television. Senator Gilliabrand is hardworking and serious and represents her State quite well. And by the way, nobody ever discusses what Chuck Shumer is wearing. 17 Link to comment
wonderwoman February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 (edited) agreed that we don't discuss what men wear. believe i mentioned that in my initial post. but most men appearing on television wear suits that have been tailored to fit them properly. her jacket fit her so badly that it actually distracted me from paying attention what she was saying. which was the point of my comment. Edited February 21, 2018 by wonderwoman Link to comment

Also, during the opening monologue, something about Stephen's impression of somebody from a candle place or whatever it was (blanking on the name at the moment) using a flamethrower really cracked me up .

possibilities March 3, 2018 Share March 3, 2018 You can leave the WH voluntarily. On the plantation, generally you'd be stuck there, against your will, probably raped, beaten, and starved, and would potentially have your children taken away and sold. So yeah, the WH is bad, but it's not comparable to a plantation. She got paid very well for being there. 11 Link to comment
GoldenGirl90 March 3, 2018 Share March 3, 2018 Colbert’s trip to Capitol Hill to “investigate the investigation” gave me major Colbert Report/Daily Show with Jon Stewart vibes. I loved it so much! I smiled throughout the entire segment. It was hilarious! 12 Link to comment

shapeshifter March 4, 2018 Share March 4, 2018 Thank you all for reminding me why I do not want to watch this Omarosa interview. I watched the first season (only!) of The Apprentice—and now recall vowing not just to never watch the show again, but also never to watch Omarosa again. I would feel sorry for SC for having to have her on his show except that he could not only afford to quit anytime, but he would also easily get another satisfying gig. For that matter, I'm sure he could have had a guest host for the week she was on. Heh, maybe he's now wishing he did. Or at least vowing to never interview her again. 1 Link to comment
Gemma Violet March 4, 2018 Share March 4, 2018 I noticed Omarosa got very little applause, if any, when she was introduced. The band was valiantly trying to cover up the silence. 4 Link to comment
GHScorpiosRule March 4, 2018 Share March 4, 2018 (edited) Omarosa is FULL OF SHIT. I’m glad Stephen kept after her for an answer and all she could do was cackle, pivot and not answer. I’m glad the audience boo’d her “we have to wait and see” because she was all “everyone will bow down on their knees” to 45. Edited March 4, 2018 by GHScorpiosRule 7 Link to comment
Annber03 March 4, 2018 Share March 4, 2018 The idea that Nunes thinks a comedian like Colbert is more dangerous than the people running around the actual White House is both hilarious and depressing all at the same time. Get a clue, Nunes. 11 Link to comment
