Bernie on Colbert Report last night

by: JDRyan

Tue Apr 22, 2008 at 10:53:56 AM EDT


According to Colbert, he's got "huevos rancheros". Colbert was quite funny, going on about "dribble-down" economics and "the market will take care of poverty". Bernie was... Bernie. All in all, it was a great forum for Bernie to get his message out there.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get the embed to work, but you can watch it here.

UPDATE: kestrel has it working, it's in the comments.

Dribble Down Theory -- Nice! (0.00 / 0)
In case you didn't follow the link, you might want to do so, just to hear Colbert's "Dribble Down" economic theory!

Nice, JD!  Thanks for the link.  I tried posting an image just now and couldn't get it to stick, either.  Maybe something on the backend of SoapBlox?

I tried embedding it and it didn't like the "always" part of the Javascript.

You can read JD's latest at five before chaos. Politics. Godlessness. Music. Films of questionable quality. It's all there, folks.

No (4.00 / 1)

it just doesn't like YOU. You just watch yourself. We're wanted men. I have the death sentence on me in twelve systems.

Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change.

I read a blurb that he was going to be on (0.00 / 0)
maybe in Sunday's times-argus? Bernie said he was a big fan of the show, but conceded that he himself isn't particularly funny (which the clip from the show pretty much confirms).  you're right tho- great forum for Bernie to get him message out.

"GMD's once proud libertarian-socialist"

But... (0.00 / 0)
you missed that Obama was on "The Daily Show" too last nite!

He was there answering all the important, burning questions...like "after you become President, are you planning to enslave the white race?"   ;)

Bernie kicked ass on Colbert BTW.

Be excellent to each other and party on dudes!


Bernie gets a credit ... (3.50 / 2)
from me for his change in attitude over the years vis-a-vis talking with people in interactive forums. I've watched him go from a control freak when it came to forums to being very open.

He has been a Friday noontime staple on the Thom Hartmann radio show (Air America right now), and Thom takes unscreened calls and passes them on for Sanders to respond to.

I thought Sander's appearance on the Cobert Report was well done and with well done with humor from Sanders too.

It's over at http://ramabahama.net ... only it's still under construction (but so is the rest of my life)
