Colbert On Birth Control... And Then Hannity. Yes, Yes, I Know.

[filkertom]

First, huskiebear made sure I saw this, and now I pass it on to you:

The Colbert Report
Get More: Colbert Report Full Episodes,Political Humor & Satire Blog,Video Archive

And I showed you that so you could read this.

Every time I hear anything that moron says, my brain leaps into full G&S mode:

There's a gasbag called Sean Hannity,
Who is paid to spew inanity.
It'll drive you to insanity,
And I weep for all humanity....

I made the perhaps unwise choice to read that link. (Can't watch the video in Canada, so couldn't preface it with the Colbert.) Yikes almighty, what a dimbulb.

'Twould also be a very fine limerick:

There once was a gasbag called Hannity
Who created a whole new inanity

I need to go back to sleep. Someone else, finish, please.

His followers will cheer
While the rest stare in fear
And hope that he soon regains sanity.

Lovely. I couldn't have done better. Thank you.

[susan-the-rogue.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. :)

Having now watched/read, a revision:

When I take in a comment by Hannity
In my mind flows a stream of profanity
It's true Fox's finest's
I.Q.'s in the minus,
But at least he excels at inanity

The equation works if you use Base Male, the way the right wing does.

For all values of People = Men and Not!People = Women: Men don't need birth control pills - therefore People don't need birth control pills. Men need Viagra - therefore People need Viagra.

Spay tan blood lady...wow. Let's expel her from womanhood.

Colbert is brilliant (or his writers are, or both). Thanks for posting this.

I think full-on Gilbert & Sullivan mode is the best way to approach these guys, really. "I have a little list..." anybody?

Or better yet: "My object all sublime, I shall achieve in time, to let the punishment fit the crime, the punishment fit the crime. . ."

(What rhymes with mpreg, though?)

Personally I've never felt that the "I don't agree with it so why should I pay for it" arguement has never held water. There are plenty of things that tax money pays for that some people don't agree with. I'd like to ask Hannity why his opinion is the one that matters. I'd ask what about the anti-war people why should their money be used to pay for two, maybe three, wars? Heck there are people who don't want us paying for agencies to make sure we have clean air and potable water I'm sure they'd rather their money went towards something else.

As for the spray tan lady I honestly have no words. How anyone can compare abuse counseling to manicures and pedicures is simplly beyond me. It shows a massive disconnect from reality.

I have to agree. The political right tends to think their desires are the only ones that count and if they don't want something then no one should have it. Remember one of their bumper stickers, "Taking our country back"? They forget it's not just their country. They'd freak if you would cut one of their programs but are all too eager to take the cleaver to all others.

As I said a while back, I do not understand why insurance companies insist on buying boners (excuse me, little blue pills) for men, but refuse to deal with the other end of the sex debate (other orientations notwithstanding). Women are not humans to these "people".

If you need help on rhymes:

Aping urbanity
Oozing with vanity
Plump as a manatee
Faking humanity
Journalistic calamity
Intellectual inanity
Fox Noise insanity
You're a profanity
Hannity
