Dean and Ted's Excellent Surprise

Dean Reynolds here for ABC News, here outside the Astrodome, where I'll be getting reaction to the President's speech from some of the evacuees who are still here.

 

 

 

Excuse me, ma'am, what part of the President's speech made you the most angry?

 

 

 

What kind of question is that?

 

 

 

It's what we journalists call an "impartial" question. That means...

 

 

 

I know what impartial means, the question you just asked me was what we non-jounalists call a "leading" question.

 

 

 

Leading?

 

 

 

You know, a question so framed as to guide the person questioned in making his reply.

 

 

 

Right, right. So, which part made you the angriest?

 

 

 

Are you on some kind of medication?

 

 

 

How about you, miss - I'm sure you agree that the "promises" the President made are just too little, too late, but...

 

 

 

I don't agree with that at all.

 

 

 

All right, it sounds like you're willing to give him another chance after he botched the evacuation...

 

 

 

Why would you say he botched the evacuation? Louisiana's emergency preparedness plan says the state and various parishes are responsible for evacuating citizens in the early stages of a hurricane.

 

 

 

Well, there's plenty of blame to go around, maybe this isn't the time to...

 

 

 

Well, if there's plenty to go around, maybe you could assign some to Mayor Nagin, since he let those buses sit idle and flood. That wasn't Bush, you know.

 

 

 

That may be true, but the President could have sent troops in...

 

 

 

So you think he should have invoked the Insurrection Act for the first time since the Civil War?

 

 

 

The what?

 

 

 

Are you familiar with the Posse Comitatus Act?

 

 

 

Well, I mean, I, uh...

 

 

 

You don't know your a** from a hole in the ground!

 

 

 

Who gave you a job as a reporter?

 

 

 

I work for ABC!

 

 

 

That explains the leading questions.

 

 

 

Why aren't you trying to find out why there was no food and water at the evacuation centers they sent us to?

 

 

 

Maybe you could poke around and see if you can find the governor while you're at it.

 

 

 

Yeah, ask her some of those "impartial" questions.

 

 

 

You think you can get us to bash the president just because we're black?

 

 

 

He thinks we're stupid!

 

 

 

No, not at all, I didn't even notice you were stupid - I mean I didn't notice you were black! I mean, I just wanted to get a reaction to Bush's speech from the perspective of poor people.

 

 

 

So you just assume we're poor because we're black?

 

 

 

I, I, I...

 

 

 

I may not be pulling down six figures, but I know the difference between a reporter and an idiot.

 

 

 

Guess which one you are.

 

 

 

Yes, well...I...back to you, Ted.

First visit to this fabulous blog! What a knockout interview with the ABC guy! Keep up the good work.
These gals from the Mad Black Woman gig are right on!
Conservatives just know how make politics humorous!

[Zelda]

Excellent and hillarious as always John!

"Free your mind and the rest will follow"......

[Shamalama]

Absolutely wonderful. Biting and to the point, while showing the bias embedded in the "impartial" media. Thank you, and please keep up the good work!

[Bullshark]

Aaron Broussard was carried live on WWL 870 AM, critiquing the President's speech. Aaron found that W was 'well coached' on what to say and finally saying 'something usefull.' What a tool! President of Jefferson Parish since 1974!

[OC Chuck]

I thought this was a satire blog. This was too close to the real thing. Can't you be original?

[John from WuzzaDem]

OC - your comment implies that I've produced something original in the past. You must be new here.

[beaupeep]

I saw the real interview. Your recreation isn't far from the truth.

[Jeff H]

I want me some of the second evacuee...

Mmmmm...refugeelicious...

[bird of paridise]

What a disapointment it was for the liberal left-wing news media they dont want to blame bush

[Jeff H]

But you see--it's Bush's fault that the mindless drones who were victimized by Rove dynamiting the levee won't blame Bush. Must be something in the water FEMA distributed...

[SeanS]

I just love the way the girl in the video slams the reporters comments in his face. She must not watch much TV or else she would have discovered that it was all Bush's fault. Shame on her for having a brain!

[Rosenberg]

Great post! I salute you!
