Wasn't sure whether he was a budding comedian punking them by purposing shifting his eyes back and forth and back and forth between the chortling deer-in-the-headlights moments to mimic being "nervous" or whether he was paid and trying to read cue cards (badly) held up by too many staff off camera or whether he was on some sort of drug... And then he went on to say that he first met Obama when he was in 3rd grade... ? Guess they needed to fill a couple minutes of airtime? |

47. Just a goofy college kid trying to be funny
|
1. He is not a college graduate - he is only a sophomore.
2. He didn't vote for Obama in 2008 - he was only 16 at the time. 3. He is president of a stand up comedy club at his university. The comments about losing the basketball game and therefore having to vote for Romney and meeting Obama when he was a kid both appear to be true. He also claims they just put him on the air without asking too many questions (or looking at his DL to see how old he was). |

I think that kid was serious. I don't think that was a prank. And, yeah, it backfired royally.
It will be interesting if they give him another chance, because you know, they'll have coached him. |

He's only a sophomore in college and so the entire set-up was BS.
No one even bothered to check his DL he has said. |

math never has been a strong point for Fox - where percentages often add up to more than 100%

handled him nicely. She was on to him early, never lost her cool, remained polite, and shuffled an incoherent guest off the air quickly. HE was the idiot. He wasn't funny or witty, just juvenile. He blew a great opportunity. What I saw was a jackass, and an adept tv personality pointing out his jackassery.

Last edited Mon Sep 17, 2012, 02:18 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1) is a professional journalist or not. One would hope she is, for christ's sake.
In her high-profile media position, she ought to be able to field any curve balls thrown her way. The irony is this "parody within a parody". FOX sets up what they expect will be a staged moment to "get" Obama and they "get taken" for fools instead. Their blatant propaganda operation was revealed in all its splendor. Bad vetting, bad production = major embarrassment. ETA: They didn't even bother to check how old the kid is. He's only 20 and has never voted for Obama. He was 16 in 2008. Anything to get an anti-Obama rant on air! |
