I was enjoying this more and more as I read on til the end. I was highly disappointed by using my beloved Tulsi for a cameo. She s either to be used as the star of the piece or not at all or I get sad and frustrated.
But today's laff-riot triggers a thought experiment: What kind of putatively democratic nation willingly elects a cohort of leaders so shitty as to make Putin look both good in comparison as well as somewhat exceptional when he's actually just apparently better.
Up until this very moment, the question "Would you like Steven Seagal to beat the shit out of Tucker Carlson?" had never entered my mind, but now I realize, why yes. Yes I would.
Brilliant as always. The Seagal bit is tragically accurate. He's got a well-earned reputation for being a complete dick on set and absolutely refusing to rehearse or even discuss scenes in advance. The story is told of him refusing to walk-through an action scene on a boat in the Seine River, and subsequently tumbling overboard when he managed to fall into and break through the wrong door.

I found the denouement particularly satisfying. And, though I doubt I will be able to work it into a conversation, "confidently waddles" is my new favorite phrase.
I'd love to see this. Carlson is pure evil at this point. What's particularly lovely is that cable subscribers pay Fox close to $2 billion -- whether they watch Fox or not -- so this piece of shit doesn't even need advertisers. There's a campaign to fix this (https://unfoxmycablebox.com/) but last I looked it still hasn't gotten traction.
Struggling to understand why Fox can't just go with "Vladimir Putin is totally evil AND WE HAVE ALWAYS SAID SO." They're worried Aaron Rupar will call them out for their inconsistency?

And the pratfalls are wonderful.

It's an alternate, now lost, version of the "Brawndo" scene from Idiocracy.
The implicit comparison of your Segal with the real statement of Schwarznegger makes this all the sharper.
No fan (ok, I liked Predator and laughed at Kindergarten Cop..) but dang…

All in all, a great day here at BID.
Like always.
oh no DON’T END IT THERE!

"TUCKER CARLSON, wearing surprisingly roomy dark grey gabardine slacks"
OOF.
And the shirt? I looked it up. Man.
But this:
"CARLSON: [That creepy laugh of his]"
makes me glad I have not ever seen or heard this dude, so 2marks!
My biggest smile of the day (no doubt it's early, but no way anything outperforms this):
"One of the cue-card holders, confused, checks her cards."
Whatever you do, always check yer cards first!
"surprisingly roomy dark grey gabardine slacks" Gold! Pure gold!
Who came first, Power Girl or Tawny Madison?
Wouldn’t this be an awesome cold open to something longer that concluded with helium and a Boots Randolph soundtrack
