Cable "News" Newsmodels have a new nickname!

[johnfunk]

... and we have Samantha Bee to thank for it. Watch The Daily Show's remake of Al Jazeera...

Watch the segment...

...and next time Heidi Collins or Norah O'Donnell has one of those "episodes," you'll know what I'm talking about...

1. Thanks. Really funny. nt

[Lost4words]

2. That was funny piece!

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

3. What a hoot!

And what good sports the Al Jazeerah news team were to go along with it. Personally, I'd like more hard news told in an unbiased manner...or the opportunity to view news from around the world on my TV. Guess I'll have to stick to my computer, though, to do that.

4. that was an amazing piece -- not JUST humor -- S Bee did something REAL

with it.

i loved seeing the AJ anchors "getting it" and enjoying the darts thrown at fluffer news!

[maddezmom]

5. agree, it was well done

I actually like watching them, glad I'm able to get it here in the UK. Anyhooo. :D

6. Soleded O'Brien immediately came to mind.

she has a great bob

[Crankie Avalon]

7. So, she pretty much turned Al-Jezeera into FOX and Friends, then?

That banter about "mama teaching him a thing or two" seemed straight out of Brian Kilmeade and that blonde woman who's name I can't remember now.

[johnfunk]

8. You're thinking of E.D. "Peppermint Gomez" Hill...

... who was known as E.D. "Peppermint Gomez" Donahoe before her marriage.

[Crankie Avalon]

11. I probably was...they all blend in together to me, after a while. n/t

[FrenchieCat]

20. Its Probably the lip Gloss... n/t

[blogslut]

9. That was a genius bit

I love Ms. Bee. :)

[underpants]

10. I don't know who the English AlJazeera anchor was...

but she was GORGEOUS!

:wow:

My wife even comment "Wow she is very pretty"

[johnfunk]

12. Maybe Norah O'Donnell should get a legal name-change...

[maddezmom]

13. I wish I could photoshop

I'd make her a bit balding with Rove's chin. :D

[DainBramaged]

14. She is a right wing hack

married to Dan Senor, you remember him:

Dan Senor was the spokesperson for Paul Bremer and the CPA during Bremer's tenure in Iraq.

[johnfunk]

16. Senor's married to Campbell Brown, and Norah's still a right wing shill

Norah "Peppermint Gomez" O'Donnell is married to TIME Magazine deputy DC Bureau chief Jay Carney.

[DainBramaged]

19. They all look the same to me, Peppermint Gomezes. Sorry

Dan "Frankinstein" Senor. Jesus, the only Liberal on MSNBC IS Olbermann.

[johnfunk]

15. Kick! Mmmmmm... Peppermint....

[johnfunk]

18. FOXy Peppermint... Mmmm...

[eppur_se_muova]

17. Wow, I'm behind ... I hadn't even heard "newsmodels".

and speaking of behind ...

"I want you to put your pinky up America's behind and massage the prostate" :rofl:

That's up there with Andy Dick as Bu**sh**'s speech/debate coach.

[johnfunk]

21. I only heard the term a few months ago, in reference to the leggy, vapid FOX hostesses

I like the term -- and "Peppermint Gomez" is the perfect newsmodel name. Gotta hand it to Samantha Bee and her TDS cohorts -- she is an al-Jahero!.

[lies and propaganda]

22. when she announced herself as Peppermint Gomez

i screamed, hen punched myself for having not came up with it first!
