Ferguson is the best thing on CBS – BY A MILE!!
Sugar Land on April 27, 2008 at 10:04 PM
We need more immigrants like him.
Kini on April 27, 2008 at 10:04 PM
That was…AWESOME!!!!
Craig Ferguson is the best

Oh that was superb,in case they didn’t get it the first

the New York Times,nicely said! ha ha.
canopfor on April 27, 2008 at 10:11 PM
I was invited to that dinner, but I refused to go.
Can you believe this? They don’t serve my favorite food:
Chinese Buffet.
By the way, I told those who will bury me, after 200 years, to spread Chinese Food on my casket in the Church and in the Cemetery.
I just wanna make sure I have enough food on my way to Heaven.

ninjapirate on April 27, 2008 at 10:05 PM
Furguson, commented about the NYSlimes commenting on the Press dinner demeans journalism, Ferguson torted Jason Blair and Judy Miller took care of that.
I thought… Well played Craig, well played…. and Welcome to America!
Oh and “Shut the hell up (NYT), you sanctimoniuos hypocritical depleted whore”
The Money quote.
Kini on April 27, 2008 at 10:13 PM
Priceless……………..
Seven Percent Solution on April 27, 2008 at 10:13 PM
When it OK to diss the NY Times among the elite, it’s curtains. Notice how uncomfortably it appeared to go over.
Too funny. These guys take themselves so seriously and forget that the rest of America is losing the “love”.
thatcher on April 27, 2008 at 10:17 PM
Maybe the reason the New York times didn’t get a table
at the correspondent’s dinner,was that Jason Blair and
Judy Miller were busy using the table…to a hum…
besmirch somebody else!!
She was an active on-duty CIA super spy dontcha ya know!!
canopfor on April 27, 2008 at 10:20 PM
The New York Times – once the standard for American journalism.
Now the brunt of immigrant comedian jokes.
Oh how the mighty (NYT) have had an erection for more than 4 hours.
All the blood rushed to the wrong head.
Kini on April 27, 2008 at 10:22 PM
Yes, well put. Many were nervously, (or indignantly…) looking around to see if it was ok to laugh…….my, my, my…..
Starlink on April 27, 2008 at 10:24 PM
I LOLed so hard, my eyes hurt.
spmat on April 27, 2008 at 10:25 PM
Craig Ferguson is now officially part of the true “cream of the crop”.
Telling the NYT to shut up? Ripping on Maureen Dowd? Telling self-loathing Americans their America bashing needs to stop? Openly talking about his love for this country?
Gutsy. I know it shouldn’t be gutsy, but it is.
MadisonConservative on April 27, 2008 at 10:25 PM
But, thankfully, we have you Kini :)
You’re going where I go, and it ain’t going to be Heaven, because that would be way too boring.
Entelechy on April 27, 2008 at 10:28 PM
I wonder how MR. Ferguson is viewed in Europe?
Entelechy on April 27, 2008 at 10:29 PM
…plus, there’s no hot air in Heaven.
Entelechy on April 27, 2008 at 10:31 PM
We watched his whole thing last night, really funny stuff. You ought to try to get video of the Mexico joke he told. It was part of a long riff on why he didn’t go to Canada instead of the US….ended with saying the US is like the party and the Canadians are the cranky neighbors upstairs banging on the floor and yelling “Quiet down!”
He said, “hey, why not come to the party?” The Canadian response? “We weren’t invited.” He says “So what, Mexico wan’t invited, and they all came anyway.”
My husband and I were laughing, and started howling when CSPAN moved the camera over to show somebody up on the front row who looked very, very unhappy.
funky chicken on April 27, 2008 at 10:32 PM
He gored lots of oxen in his routine last night, but all his jokes were good, and right on the money.
funky chicken on April 27, 2008 at 10:34 PM
Like the New York Times could even
a table!
Kasper Hauser on April 27, 2008 at 10:34 PM
Lucky, I would imagine by the common person.
And envious by others in the liberal elite.
Kini on April 27, 2008 at 10:34 PM
Well that wasn’t formatted right. Let’s try it again…
Like the NYT’s could even afford a table!
Kasper Hauser on April 27, 2008 at 10:35 PM
Look at the faces in the crowd, they didn’t know whether to laugh or wind their watch (you never know who’s watching).
easy on April 27, 2008 at 10:36 PM
I would love to raise a pint with this wee bastard!
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on April 27, 2008 at 10:38 PM
Oh Craig, welcome to the club of the American citizen. It’s not easy to get in (although others would think otherwise). Enjoy your stay. We’re glad to have you here. God Bless You and Your Family!
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on April 27, 2008 at 10:39 PM
Okay, I besmirched Jason Blair and Judy Miller
as CIA super spys,with Valerie Plame the real CIA
super spy,I apologize and how Liberal* of me!
(*canopfor regrets the reference of Liberal,he has
never been a Liberal,and never will be a Liberal).

What’s up with you?
You’re not dragging me to Hell. I already booked my spot in Heaven.
Too late now baby!
And by the way, I don’t like hot air.
I love Air Conditioning. And that’s where I’m going.
By the way, bring your own food if you wanna join me, it’s a cover dish area.
Indy Conservative on April 27, 2008 at 10:43 PM
You don’t get to decide :)
I’ll just keep on cooking. No need to bring food.
Indy Conservative on April 27, 2008 at 10:43 PM
In the meanwhile, all, enjoy life here, because in spite of everything, it’s a good one.
Entelechy on April 27, 2008 at 10:47 PM
I like that guy. :)

“You have to understand, that during these hard economic times, the NYT is bitter. And when they turn bitter, they cling to their keyboards, plagarists, and atheism to get through these troubled times.” – paraphrased in the voice of Obama.
c3ichief on April 27, 2008 at 10:52 PM
plus there’s no Hot Air in Heaven.
Entelechy on April 27,2008 at 10:31PM.
Entelechy: Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat,say it ain’t
so!
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Hot Air in
Heaven,thats,thats,—–BLASPHEMOUS TALK!
Ha ha ha ha!
canopfor on April 27, 2008 at 10:53 PM
Sure I decide where I’ll go.
Setting aside my desire to make hamburgers out of Muslim terrorists, I’m a good guy who loves Chinese food.
Do you think God loves Chinese food too?
And why you’ll keep on cooking? Well, cook Chinese if you insist. I also don’t mind chicken, steak and shrimps.
Life on Earth is good only if we make it good.
There, you got your Indy Conservative “Today’s Word of Wisdom.”
Indy Conservative on April 27, 2008 at 10:56 PM
Now I find out that I’m actually a bitter cranky Canadian
that I cling to the bible and my bird gun,who knew! ha ha.
canopfor on April 27, 2008 at 10:59 PM
Craig you are what is great about America. An appreciation of what this country stands for and an unflinching eye to the snobbery and lies of NY Slimes. Love him and he has garnered a new viewer to his show. If only more Americans/immigrants were like him, how different will this country be.
jencab on April 27, 2008 at 11:00 PM
Legal immigration works… wonders.
profitsbeard on April 27, 2008 at 11:02 PM
Your love affair will be short lived.
lorien1973 on April 27, 2008 at 11:03 PM
welcome to America Mr. Ferguson… proud to have you as a citizen… not just for this comment of course, but because you respected the process and respected the flag… welcome
Kaptain Amerika on April 27, 2008 at 11:04 PM
I watch Ferguson pretty regularly. He basically put it this way…’In America you are allowed to be odd’.
He picks on GW about like Leno but nothing like Letterman does. He usually has a zinger for both sides of the aisle.
Limerick on April 27, 2008 at 11:04 PM
Wow! Holy cow that was good!
4shoes on April 27, 2008 at 11:05 PM
Limerick, my rhetorical question was strictly how Europe views him on his “love for America”, which they can’t stand. The anti-Americanism is so common now that in school, a cousin, who’s a professor there, told me today, they don’t even display or mention the U.S. natural wonders/attractions any more (they used to be awsome at some point in time not so long ago). Of course, they blame it all on Bush. If Barry or Hillary won’t become the next president, they’ll all need a huge couch, and lots of pills and counseling.
Entelechy on April 27, 2008 at 11:09 PM
I would love to see Mark Steyn a US Citizen next. Imagine a Mark Ferguson / Mark Steyn tag team interview. Wow!
Egfrow on April 27, 2008 at 11:11 PM
Lots of pills? Do they have lots of pills in Europe? (just kidding).
I took Craig’s ‘odd’ remark as saying he didn’t fit into the someones group. From watching his show he is no fan of England (being a Scot that makes sense, I guess).
Limerick on April 27, 2008 at 11:13 PM
?How come someone has to come to America to tell the truth about us, Where befor we Americans were the marvel of the world!
AMartinez on April 27, 2008 at 11:15 PM
… sometimes the first to comment says it all.
The best thing Letterman’s done in years was to get that guy back on tv.
yo on April 27, 2008 at 11:19 PM
Entelechy on April 27, 2008 at 11:26 PM
TOTALLY SWEET.
blatantblue on April 27, 2008 at 11:34 PM
Wow, nice. There are some people in that crowd who look like somebody peed in their soup! They had these looks on their faces like gangsters doing a slow burn–laugh now, cry later, Craig. Talk about tugging on Superman’s cape! Speaking truth to power, that’s supposed to mean peeing in GW’s soup–but our soup? You’ll never eat lunch in this town again.
smellthecoffee on April 27, 2008 at 11:48 PM
Heh! A cauldron deep in obsession. ;-)
Kini on April 27, 2008 at 11:51 PM
And, with that, a couple thousand conservative DVRs were set to tape the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. It’ll never get him the recognition a little bit of lame clapper humor would have, and good on ‘im for not succumbing to the urge. He really is pretty funny.
marykatharine on April 27, 2008 at 11:55 PM
Don’t you mean CDDDDRRRAP.
91Veteran on April 28, 2008 at 12:01 AM
This zinger at the Times kind of fits in with that, since the most vicious attacks on the Times about Judith Miller were from the left, over their belief that she was in the tank for Bush over the Iraqi WMD allegations (to the point the left was happy to see her rot in jail during the Valerie Plaime kerfuffle). So Ferguson threw a bit of a bone to both sides by including Blair and Miller, though his added shots at the paper itself were bound to go over better on the right than on the left at the dinner.
jon1979 on April 28, 2008 at 12:22 AM
Aye, that braengs a teer to me eye.
shooten on April 28, 2008 at 12:22 AM
That was awesome. I just watched the whole thing on that other video site, and he was very funny. I loved when the camera showed the rather, indignant faces. Just classic. The NYT joke was the best though.
DakRoland on April 28, 2008 at 12:54 AM
Especially the scream machine and cat noises.
Kini on April 28, 2008 at 12:58 AM
Forget “brass balls.” These were steel-reinforced and diamond-plated.
loganthompson on April 28, 2008 at 1:00 AM
The best bit is their colleagues’ response.
Tzetzes on April 28, 2008 at 1:13 AM
The truth still hurts.
Travis1 on April 28, 2008 at 1:29 AM
Craig Ferguson’s whole speech is available on YouTube, and it’s quite funny, even the swipes at President Bush and Vice President Cheney. But perhaps we’ll live to see Mark Steyn take the podium, insh’allah.
Kralizec on April 28, 2008 at 1:30 AM
A good antidote to Jon Stewart. I hope the libs in the media don’t make Ferguson pay for it.
WasatchMan on April 28, 2008 at 1:37 AM

Tony737 on April 28, 2008 at 3:13 AM
It bears repeating:
leftnomore on April 28, 2008 at 3:14 AM
Here is a paraphrase of his remarks:
The New York Times unfortunately did not buy a table.
They felt this event undercut the credibility of the press.
It’s funny, you see I thought Jayson Blair and Judy Miller took care of that.
What, what did I say? Did I go too far? Well let me say this: shut the hell up New York Times you sanctimonious, whining jerks
—
I agree with him 100%. The NYT doesn’t like the event solely because they don’t like the current president. Put BHO in office, and they couldn’t attend fast enough.
daryl_herbert on April 28, 2008 at 3:38 AM
Well, it took a long time, but I am finally going to bookmark an individual blog post.
Just the sort of pick me up a guy needs every now and then.
Jim708 on April 28, 2008 at 5:22 AM
There was one face that had no problem laughing. Did ya notice the Marine general?
Priceless!!
Jim708 on April 28, 2008 at 5:28 AM
Bravo, Ferguson!
GWBush gave a great encore comedic performance, himself.
The Press will miss GW more than they’ll ever admit. There hasn’t been another POTUS ever so willing to poke such good fun of himself. When the joke’s not on us, GWB is great!
maverick muse on April 28, 2008 at 7:26 AM
This is why immigration (controlled) is so important to maintain.

I smile thinking about them viewing/reading this post and these comments.

“It could happen. A First Lady- a fomer First Lady could become President. It not gonna happen this year. But it could happen at some point.”
This is the first time I think I’ve ever enjoyed listening to this guy.
Browncoatone on April 28, 2008 at 11:00 AM
HAHA love it. To bad CBS has that other guy in the better time slot.
crabtree on April 28, 2008 at 11:12 AM
Ah, yes. Perhaps I can be of some assistance. As a native and continuing resident of Scotland (hence time delay in contributing to these messageboards)I can honestly say that I think most Scots would struggle to remember who Craig Ferguson was. If indeed they ever knew. (I’ll test this hypothesis at work tomorrow and get back to you). I have a vague recollection of him having been on the TV in Scotland some time ago but for the life of me I couldn’t tell you the name of any programme he appeared in or whether indeed it was a sitcom, chatshow or children’s show (or all or none of the above). I can’t remember ever being struck by how funny he was. Billy Connolly he was not.
That he has gone on to great things in the US is a source of bemusement to me (and, I suspect, to most other Scots). Without wishing to appear condescending to you Yanks (being as how you’re so bitter and attached to your guns and religion ‘n’ all) I have a feeling that Mr Ferguson’s success owes a little to the “Gee, I love your accent” factor.
(Tracy Ullman’s success in the States also leaves me bemused, by the way. She was significantly better known in Britain than Craig Ferguson, however.)
schiehallion on April 28, 2008 at 11:42 AM
I’ve loved Craig Ferguson ever since I saw him as Drew Carey’s boss.
Best WHPCdinner speach in years.
opusrex on April 28, 2008 at 11:52 AM
Obama would say I’m just “bitter” about how the NYT has treated Conservatives in general and our God-fearing President in particular.
