Faux to do a rip-off of The Daily Show
Fox's "Daily Show" knockoff? Fox is reportedly making a pilot for what a source tells TVNewswer is "an absolutely terrible rip-off of 'The Daily Show.'" To be called "Watch This Right Now," the news spoof show is going to be hosted by conservative talk show pundit Laura Ingraham. (TVNewser)

2. Why do repukes even try to be funny?
"Satirists" ann coulter should be a clue. The world ain't laughing to the punchline "9/11 widows enjoy their husband's death."
:rofl: :rofl: :puke:

8. They couldn't possibly be trying; not with Laura Ingraham.
She's devoid of funny ... along with other sensibilities.

11. Yeah, really. With punchlines like "we should kill their families! Ha!"

It's sort of hard to really get those belly laughs.

7. Faux is shameless...
Laura Ingraham has neither intelligence nor wit. This one's going to go over like a lead balloon.

10. To steal a word Laura likes to use...
PATHETIC!

Laura Ingraham isn't even funny.

Neocons can't even BE funny. They can only be mean-spirited.

Sure, let 'em make a show about how funny they think it is to be mean to people.

Did anyone ever watch the Dennis Miller show? It was HORRIBLE. Watching him trying to be funny AND a rightwing hack at the SAME TIME was so, so sad.

There MAY be a handful of right-leaning personalities that might be remotely entertaining (like maybe Ben Stein) but they would never do this show. -JJ

13. I knew it was just a matter of time. Obviously, comedy is more powerful
than we thought--if they're trying it. I don't expect much.

14. See, that's what they are telling the Print News, but what it ACTUALLY is
...is that they are the guy who runs Fox "news" is REALLY pissed off about their falling rating (this is true), so what they are actually doing is....(and you have to promise not to tell anyone, this is secret), they are going to do ACTUAL NEWS! But they are going to pretend that it's "fake news" so they don't anger the WH and the Fox "news" Lemmings.

It's going to be a great "fake news" show! *wink* *wink* ;-) :evilgrin:

BTW...:sarcasm:
