Republican Celebs

Recommended Posts

Norm Macdonald is also a big Republican.

 

Barbra: Well, that's just a taste of Norm MacDonald, who is very funny and slightly- slightly weird. But in the best possible and sweetest way.

 

Elizabeth: Hey, he likes Reagan.

 

Norm: Just because I like Reagan?

 

Barbra: No. Not at all! Not at all! That had nothing to do with it.

 

Norm: You know, there's a new book, there's a new book with Reagan's letters.

 

Barbra: Yes, and it's a wonderful book as a matter of fact. Yeah, anyway.

 

Joy: You're Canadian, what are you such a patriot all of a sudden?

 

Norm: I'm no longer going to be a Canadian, I'm going to, uh- uh, become an American because of Canada's, uh, just terrible, uh...

 

[People in the audience clap]

 

Joy: What? Spit it out. What? Terrible?

 

 

Norm: Well, Canada had a- a certain, uh- you know, they didn't help out in the unpleasantness.

Stern and Norm talk politics. Norm goes as far as he’s ever gone in public by supporting George Bush and chastising Canada for not supporting the war in Iraq. Stern completely agrees with him and also supports Bush. It is interesting that NOW Stern is calling on his voters to vote out George Bush due to Bush only being a puppet for the radical religious right.

Norm was also invited to the 2000 Inauguration

I guess Norm voted Reform/Alliance/Conservative then?

I guess so- but Norm has always been a Republican. I know there are interviews where he talked about how he hated how liberal comedy was.

 

James Downey, his right hand man on WU, is also a Republican

You told Bob Dole when he appeared one Saturday night, "I don't write much of the stuff around here." Were you backpedaling on your political satire?

 

He said he'd seen some of the things I did about him on the show. I told him I didn't write alot of that stuff. And I didn't. I disagreed with a lot of the things that slammed Dole. I like Bob Dole. He reminds me a lot of my dad. I like guys who aren't suited for their jobs. He's like that. He's not a politician. Politicians have to bullshit people and be disingenuous and be able to turn emotions on in a second. Clinton is the best ever. And Dole can't do that at all. He's self-effacing and really funny. I asked after the election how he was taking it. He said it didn't bother him at all, and that the night he lost he slept like a baby -- woke up every two hours crying. I'm thinking of doing something with him, because he has some kind of odd peripheral show business career going on.

Dole suggested shortly after the election that you and he get together for beers because you'd both have plenty of spare time. Have you two hoisted brews together?

 

He's less available than you'd think, but he keeps asking me to come to Washington to talk with him. It seems like such a crazy thing to do. I'd have to show up and ask, "Is Bob around? It's me, that guy from the TV." If Dole had been elected, I could have slept in the Lincoln bedroom. I'm trying to think of a joke about Dole himself sleeping in the Lincoln bedroom. Maybe something about Lincoln being on vacation. I just can't put it together.

What should we make of the framed photo of Richard Nixon hanging on your office wall?

 

The picture is not meant ironically, that's for sure. I always thought Nixon would have been the best host for this show. He'd have been cool. We like to fight the liberal bias, though we want "Update" to be completely apolitical. It's said that the media is liberal. I don't have any sense of that. But I know comedy has this incredible liberal bias, so I don't do any jokes comparing Newt Gingrich to Hitler. I have no political point of view, and I don't write the political jokes. I don't like politics at all. I find it boring. I never read political news. Everybody is so obsessed with politics, with Clinton and Whitewater. Meanwhile, we could have heard about cloning years ago. People are really interested in Hard Copy stuff, in cloning and Michael Jackson. JonBenet Ramsey is big. I wanted to do a sketch about the girl who was runner-up to JonBenet and now gets to step in as America's Little Royal Miss. But we have to stay clear of that.

I have always hated the people who talk about "RINOs." I hated that Schwartzenegger got labeled that by one of the prominent Orange County fundies during the recall race just becuase he didn't hate gays and didn't want to eradicate every gun control law ever passed, or because of who his wife is, etc. I also didn't care for the people who pull that same shit on John McCain.

Uh TYLER'S the one you should be taking your bitchtits card to, since he's the one crying about Miller not being a democrat anymore.

 

Maybe if his party wasn't so full of girlymen he might actually still be supporting them.

Dennis Miller is just a populist bitch, same as O'Reilly. I didn't even know he was considered a leftist previously because his HBO series was an endless parade of Clinton BJ jokes formatted to a TV show.

He was talking about Zell Miller, but the question remains:

Oops. It's 8AM and I've been up all night and haven't been thinking. Stated my case on that. I understand the Zell bashing, since he crossed my "guy going to the other party's convention" test.

 

Who is GreatOne and why does he have such a hard-on about me? I don't even remember talking to this kid and he seems to carry the most vengeful grudge in history.

He's appeared on one of your sabbaticals. He's bad enough that he's made me actually value Mike's presence as a poster on more than one occasion. Like Mike, he posts conservative opinion with a flip attitude, but while Mike casually deals with each person who wants to disagree with what he says, GreatOne actually goes looking for a fight. And if that means calling people names and putting your political thoughts in WWE and other forums to get a rise, so be it.

 

Mike and I are like an old married couple having a disagreement compared to GreatOne, who seems to think that this is war and he's on the frontlines as an Internet Toughtalker.

Anyone mention Nugent yet? He's a conservative whackjob more than anything, though.

I think Dennis Miller falls into the category where he agrees with the President on the War, and that trumps every single other issue in his opinion, so he will go to bat for him. This basically all started because he got tired of people comparing Bush to Hitler, so I guess he must have had DEEP conversations with all, what TWO of those people who believed that? At first Dennis tried to do the "I am 100% republican, and have seen the light" act, but I think recently he has toned that act down and kind of still is more liberal with social issues. One thing for sure is, he is highly outclassed when it comes to debate on his own show, and all that happens is, when someone has an opposing view, he just gets frustrated and tries to force a joke which causes the guest to stare blankly back at him.

OK duder. I'm big Mr. Internet Tough Guy Talker, so are you a weenie then by your own admission?

 

I know god forbid someone put some balls behind his political beliefs, whomever he supports is irrelevant. That must = Internet Tough Guy looking for fights. Whatever, bitch.

 

And no Tyler, cause I responded to your claim of Zell Miller being a DINO cause he supports Bush DOESN'T mean I have a hard-on for you, capiche?

OK duder.

Please find a new word to embrace and call your very own.. I keep reading that as "neuter."

No, the rest of us are far more sensible for not getting our panties in a wad and having to throw political mudballs in the WWE folder.

More like trolling folders and people because you can't control yourself = you.

This is CE last I checked........and you're NOT getting your panties in a bunch? That's like saying John Kerry didn't attack Bush on his guard service.

Yeah I started the whole thing on Zell Miller being a Republican, uh-huh. Got a problem with someone calling bullshit? Last I checked, this IS a forum, not read-along with the Rock or something.

 

I see something that screams BULLSHIT to me I'll comment on it, ok? I guess that's trolling to you, but that's your problem.

 

Duder.

I'm not upset, I'm just calling you stupid for being so constantly abrasive and getting into retarded feuds with people like Bigjig and letting it consume a whole thread.

NFL2k5? And I was going to stick up for you, too.

 

Anyway, what I was going to say is that I've given up. I've thrown in the towel.

 

I'll call my n*gga Zell a Republican.

 

After all, he stands for freedom, liberty and patriotism. Now way in hell he's a Democrat.

 

Now back to your pseudo-feud...
