As usual, the low point is Stewart’s moronic audience hooting on cue. Followed closely by Chafee’s puzzlement that Republican primaries tend to run conservative and Democratic primaries liberal.

Stamp him as a democrat, mark him down and put him on an end aisle. He is damaged product.

He gives clueless twits a bad rap.

What an abject twit…
[must...resist...urge..to use...different...vowel...]
urbancenturion on December 12, 2006 at 12:20 PM
sort of an airhead.
jummy on December 12, 2006 at 12:21 PM
Sort of? Nope, I do believe it’s full blown.
KelliD on December 12, 2006 at 12:25 PM
Chaffee? 1960’s Democrat.
Too close to sane to run as a Democrat today … unless he is a blue-dog mercenary running in the South.

The Stewart show is predictable agitprop twaddle. It’s not even funny anymore. Sort of a SNL with more pretense at insight.
spmat on December 12, 2006 at 12:48 PM
I’m glad he lost. He is a twit, and a mushy one at that.
CP on December 12, 2006 at 12:50 PM
Chaffee got kicked so often while shoeing horses he hasn’t a clue if he is coming or going. He can’t even see how he is being ridiculd and not even understanding what Stewart was talking about. Talk about a total loser, I am glad the RNC laid so much money down on his campaign and though they had a chance to take RI. Talk about boneheads. I sure hope they learn something in the next six months or year coming up. I won’t hold my breath.

yawn
He claims that the worst error made by the Democrats post-9/11 was “rushing to war”, “falling in line”. The patient is terminal, pull the plug.

Some good questions to ask Lincoln “Log Cabin” Chafee:
1) Why are you a Republican?
2) What does it mean to be a Repulican?
3) What are the 5 most important issues facing our country right now and where do you stand on those 5 issues?
4) What is the Republican party’s stance on those 5 issues?
5) Why are you a Republican?

Wow, that guy really wants approval. I like how he confused Stewart with his awkward vaccinations line.
Stewart’s question about the parties (in this case voters) being so picky about their politicians believing the same things they do is really dumb too, if not disingenuous (ie, he really means why do the Republicans have to be so doctrinaire).

At first I blocked Comedy Channel because of its commercials for videos of girls taking their shirts off (even with parental controls on programming, the advertisements that run even on PG comedy shows on Comedy Central are unacceptable for homes with children).
Now I block it because of the live AUDIENCES. I could almost watch the shows if it weren’t for the braying of the audiences.
It’s a shame, too. Jon Stewart could be funny. But, he has turned into another Lance Ito – unwilling to wrest control of his own venue.

Zetterson, I’ll speak for Linc on this,
Because my father was a Republican.
It means I have an R after my name, and that George Bush cost me my Senate seat.
War: bad
Taxes: Too low
Pollution: bad
George Bush: bad
Oh look, a birdie!
WRONG!!!
Because my father was a Republican, which put the RI Republican apparatus, such as it is, at my disposal.

Perhaps you meant his “own domain”?
Attila (Pillage Idiot) on December 12, 2006 at 1:34 PM
What…a….tool. Good riddance to bad maintenance equipment.

I beg to disagree. The low point was when Lincoln Chafee opened his mouth.
Actually, I agree with Chafee on this issue about the primary system in America (and I don’t think Chafee was puzzled about it). It forces Democrats to go hard left and Republicans to go hard right. Then both Democrat and Republican nominees move toward the center in the general election.
I’m not a Californian, but if I remember correctly, Schwarzenegger would have had no chance of being Governor if he had to win a Republican primary. But since it was thrown open to everyone with the Gray Davis recall, Arnold ran and was far and away the winner.
I’m not sure what the solution is to the primary system. Open primaries sound good on paper, but there would seem to be a great opportunity for mischief, with Democrats voting for the Republican they think is least electable in the primary, and vice versa for Republicans and Democrats.

Linc’s full of crap. Good riddance to bad rubish.
georgej on December 12, 2006 at 2:41 PM
Good call, Pablo. Pure opportunism in a vacuous package. “I knew I couldn’t keep shoeing horses, cause they always kick me in the head. Didn’t know how to do anything else, so I ran for Senate.”
But what an idiotic observation about the primaries. The guy is inarguably the single most out-of-step Republican, so the question isn’t “why don’t the parties accept dissenting views?”, but “why on earth do you run as a Republican?” The other 53 at least had some sense of purpose and ideology, and they had widely divergent opinions on lots of issues.
R-RI made less sense than Zell Miller, Democrat.
The funny part is Linc demonstrating that he was further left on national defense than almost all the Democrats. Heh.

I am in Rogue Island and good riddance to the RINO. He is such a dumbass. The other day I saw him scratching his head…his balls were happy to get a vacation. Opps…wrong, he does not have any.

Another politician willing to say anything, anywhere, just to get some attention. And, where do they find these dolts for the audience?
Stewart blames politicians for ruining America. I blame Stewart for ruining the minds of the already commonsense deprived college students.
When I was an art student in college, I had a professor that loved to push the notion of “critical thinking”, everything could be figured out if we applied “critical thinking”. She used John Stewart as an example of someone that used “critical thinking” to come to the right conclusions.
Now, I liked this professor, she was very nice, and didn’t mind my constant challenging of her typical liberal assertions. But one time, working on a project, I let “too much of my personal feelings show through my work”. I was told, to go do some “critical thinking” about how to “fix” it. I left it alone.
The following class, when pressed about why I decided to leave it, I told her: “I decided to do some critical thinking, and when I critically thought, I only thing I could think, is you’re an ass.
I got an A.

He’s perpetually puzzled and in need for approval, like one of those rich, spoiled, psycho and kept women in Hollywood, Rancho Santa Fe/CA, or Santa Fe/NM, etc.
Killer laugh for the day. Thanks Pablo!
Twits feel indignant.
Entelechy on December 12, 2006 at 4:29 PM
I’m so happy that this piece of crap lost that I could throw a party. He stood for and stands for nothing. He is a RHINO in every sense of the word and I honestly hope that America never hears from him again.
NEMETI IN SYRACUSE on December 12, 2006 at 9:02 PM
Linc Chaffee, living proof that Indians f@#&ed buffalo…
Sometimes you do win when you lose, Bye Bye Linky-boy…
ritethinker on December 12, 2006 at 10:18 PM
Dad used to say: “Life is tough, son. However it’s much tougher when you’re stupid”.
Chaffee is a tool. Stewart is a nipple and the audience are sheep.
