5. Who was the person who gave Seth a hard time on the show?
He said that the person played an oil executive. I missed the name!

Loved the prez comment! And They were so casual. Can you imagine that being said in 2002 or so?

10. That was snark aimed at Keith.
Edited on Fri Jan-19-07 09:09 PM by Patsy Stone
Keith's going to be on in April, as an oil exec. Keith asked (about himself) "How was *that* guy to work with?" Seth said he was "a bastard".

46. Bush is a Lazy ass BULLY....Possesses too many BULLY traits
Abuser/Bully/Narcissant

Google them and see for yourself.....

He is NOT ON THE BEST INTEREST FOR AMERICA

The GOPers really messed up when they chose this dude...and he was supposed to be the best they could offer? Shows what kinda filter they got....them GOP guys canardly choose a leader, or, 2, they got hoodwinked/conned into backing the dude.

Either way, Bush has distroyed the Pub Party, America, the Military, the Future, and our Respect around the World....forget his good legacy...he has fucked that up too.... Will go down in History as a LOSER and a FAILURE

Come, its time to look for a good system to chose better Leaders....Opi

34. It's on now, so WATCH IT
It was towards the end, so you have time!

Then go to Youtube.com or crookandliars.com and look at his Special Comments, 8-10 minutes "Walter Cronkite" style editorial commentaries, you know, the kind with no holds barred! He basically bends the righties over a table and lashes them with a verbal cat-o'-nine-tails.

Two of his Special Comments have been entered into the Congressional record.

It's on live at 8pm ET and replays at midnight ET.

Watch a few of his Special Comments and you'll want to bear his children. I've seen that effect on other DUers.

Its some canadian production narrated by Donald Sutherland. It has Bill Maher commenting in it as well as Rick Mercer (if you are near Canada you know who Rick Mercer is).

30. American Dad is kinda republican though
the show, not just Stan himself. But I have heard Seth declare himself a liberal Dem. His alter-ego on FG is Brian (not kidding), who reads the Utne Reader and wants to rename James Woods High to MLK.

41. Are you kidding me, American Dad absolutely tears on the Republicans
It is satire, it echoes right-wing talking points only to show their absurdity. Stan is the absolute most ridiculous figure on the show, and he is there to mock the entire Republican agenda. Seriously watch the show again and tell and pay attention to just how ridiculous the things that come out of the right-wing characters mouths are. The show is complete satire, and it is satire aimed to show just how pathetic right-wing views are.

Seriously I am surprised that American Dad is not the most popular television sitcom among DUers because it is really great satire.

42. I don't know. Maybe the satire is a little too subtle for me
Edited on Sat Jan-20-07 11:32 AM by TOJ
that ep a couple weeks ago where Stan does an "It's A Wonderful Life" thing and discovers that if Reagan hadn't been shot, McGovern would have won in 1984 and surrendered the US to the USSR, was pretty rude.

I do love Roger though.

45. I missed that episode, but you have to remember this is Stan we are talking about
While I did not see that episode I can imagine it because it does sound totally consistent with Stan's character. He views everything from an extreme right wing perspective, and he would believe that McGovern would surrender to the Soviets just like he would believe that all Democrats are best friends with Osama bin Laden. Anyone who watches the show knows however that Stan is a complete extremist nutcase, and we laugh at his fantasies because they are just so absurd. American Dad does basically the same thing that Steven Colbert does in his comedy, he repeats right-wing talking points in a context which shows their absurdity. If you can recognize satire you will find that Stan is one of the most hilarious characters on television today, you are supposed to laugh at his right-wing talking points not take them literally.

51. You're probably right. The one where Stan helped Steve
with the book report by telling him that Denver is 200,000 ft above sea level so it's called the Windy City was pretty hilarious. Stan is definitely a right-wing blowhard.

36. Not a great choice of words though ...
... and I'm sure it's offensive to people with learning disabilities.

I would have chosen something different to describe Bush, like socio-pathic.

40. Not to me
My child is retarded, Bush is just stupid to the bone. He's willfully stupid. My child has autism and has deficits because of it. Bush could have risen above his deficits but he's just too damn lazy. That family does have piss poor protoplasm from too much inbreeding and too much alcohol.
