ABC Star
Ferrera Quips U.S. Won't Be 'Free' Until Bush Gone |
|
Zach Braff:
"You know America, here's a little interesting tidbit you
probably don't know about me. My middle name is Israel. We're
both named after countries. "
America Ferrera: "Wow, that is interesting."
Braff: "So do you think that you have any traits in
common with the country that is your namesake?"
Ferrera: "Well, you know, I mean I guess I'm a
free-spirited person and America's supposedly the 'land of the
free,' right?"
Braff: "Well, I guess."
Ferrera: "Or at least we will be in 2008." [loud
applause] Well how about you, Zach, I mean do you have
anything in common with Israel?"
Braff: "Let me see. Well, I'm predominantly Jewish, I'm
very hot and all of my neighbors hate me. So yeah." [audience
laughter]

Maher: Bush 'a
Gilligan Who Cannot Find His Ass with Two Hands' |
|
Bill Maher:
“Political comedy is effective in inverse proportion the
competence of the leader.”
Host
Leno:
“Well, that's true. That's true.”
Maher:
“In other words, the bigger the fool, the easier for us. And
this man, come on, let's get real. I mean, Joe Scarborough did
a whole week of panel discussions on whether he was an idiot
[audience laughter ]. Seriously. And when you've lost
Scarborough Country, I mean -- and I think the science is in
on this question.”
Leno:
“Yeah, yeah.”
Maher:
“I mean, I think he is -- the people who were defending him
were saying, 'well, he's just inarticulate.' But inarticulate
doesn't explain foreign policy. I mean, it's not that
complicated. The man is a rube. He is a dolt. He is a yokel on
the world stage. He is a Gilligan who cannot find his ass with
two hands [audience applause]. He is a vain half-wit who
interrupts one incoherent sentence with another incoherent
sentence [cheers and applause]. And I hope I'm not piling on,
Jay.”

Iran No Worse Than America |
|
"A war of words, Wolf, heating up between the United States and Iran. U.S.
officials yesterday showing off what they call a growing body of evidence that
Iranian weapons are being used to kill coalition soldiers in Iraq. They say that
Iran is making the violence worse there by providing Shiite groups with
technology, money, and training.... Reminiscent, Wolf, of the war in
Afghanistan, when Russia invaded. It seems to me we were, the United States was
supplying weapons and intelligence and things like that to the Afghan
rebels....So, that was okay but it’s not okay if Iran — I’m, I’m confused,
Wolf."

A Message from Mr. Tolerance |
|
"Look at the little empires that people like James Dobson or Pat Robertson run.
They are despotic, Third World fiefdoms where these guys fly around with
bodyguards and Lear jets and amass hundreds of millions of dollars taken from
people who live on the margins of American society...The image that they present
of Jesus and of the Christian is essentially a warrior cult. I mean, it is that
obsession with violence, it’s that notion that America can use its imperial
power and use its violence to create a Christian society. They condemn...other
religion as satanic, I mean, they’re constantly blasting Islam, nominal
Christians, liberals. It is a message that’s deeply anti-Christian and I think
filled with a lot of bigotry and a lot of intolerance."
-- Former New York Times reporter Chris Hedges, author of the book
American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America, Colbert Report,
Comedy Central, February 8, 2007. |

America, Worst for New Mothers |
|
Reporter Elizabeth Vargas: "Most countries around the world provide paid
maternity leave, but which ones don’t?"
Woman #1: "Maybe India?"
Woman #2: "China?"
Woman #3: "Maybe Russia or Mexico."
Vargas: "In fact, a study out this week from Harvard and McGill
University, shows that of 173 countries surveyed, only five provide no form of
paid maternity leave: Papua New Guinea, Lesotho, Swaziland, Liberia, and the
United States."
Michelle Porter, mother: "I do think American women are not aware of how
bad they have it."
