Video: Pundits of the future?

Ever think of how that instant-polling technology we saw in use during some of the presidential campaign debates could be used to, er, improve things? Via Allahpundit on his vacation, The Onion brings us this palate-cleanser — of sorts — by imagining what an interactive punditocracy might deliver. Unhappy with the analysis of Keith Olbermann or Sean Hannity? Simply click the thumbs-down button on your end and watch them respond:
New Live Poll Allows Pundits To Pander To Viewers In Real Time
Maybe we should demand that C-SPAN install this technology in the House and Senate instead …

Hmmm…
I thought AP was the Onion addict of HA.

They’re to good at this.

smoke and mirrors.

Allah gets a vacation…?
It’s about time. I was beginning to think he was an indentured servant.
Is he really on ” vacation ” or did he just escape…?

Art imitates reality…
…that was hilarious.

Home detention.

AP is still busy looking up as much faux dirt on Palin. Thankfully, Ed is not posting it. Yeah, Ed!!
AP’s faux girlfriend has attacked another republican and has made false accusations of racism. She has really crossed the line with this one. AP of course, is promoting her slander.
Have you no decency, allahpundit?

Ah ha ha! I posted the link to this video in a thread yesterday. Yes, it is indeed hilarious. An even funnier one is this one:

I could totally see the Obama Admin doing this for real.
LiquidH2O on July 10, 2009 at 9:01 PM
We never protect our own. Here’s a case where the leftards are attacking this woman and falsely accusing her of racism and that pig McCain is leading the charge. Yet, no one is blogging on it…
Come on, AP! Defend your fat faux girlfriend’s false charges of racism. You can’t.
Blake on July 10, 2009 at 9:02 PM
So funny… Still laughing.
RalphyBoy on July 10, 2009 at 9:04 PM
Come on…I brought ONN in here yesterday…LOL
Jeff from WI on July 10, 2009 at 9:08 PM
Next you’ll start a thread using Tombstone movie dialog like lady & I did last night, when I brought ONN in here
LOLOL
Jeff from WI on July 10, 2009 at 9:10 PM
Yes, but is it fair to call McCain “one of our own”? McCain is no more a ‘Republican’ than Sarah Palin is a New York Ranger (because she wore Gomez’s jersey).
LiquidH2O on July 10, 2009 at 9:13 PM
“The poor,poor children”!
Da horror!
canopfor on July 10, 2009 at 9:16 PM
What? When did he find the time in between bashing Palin and promoting his sleazebag girlfriend who is falsely calling rivals racist? Her and the leftards attack on his woman is one of the nastiest I’ve seen and he’s linking her slander and telling everyone what a nice girl she is. Sure. Nice like a poisonousness snake.
But, I’m seeing a pattern here. McCain’s daughter and Allahpundit only bash fellow republicans and tell lies about them. You two are a perfect match for each other. Spit.
Blake on July 10, 2009 at 9:19 PM
Who gives a crap? She is perceived as being a republican and she is viciously slandering another republican with AP’s help. Why doesn’t someone stand up for this other woman?
Blake on July 10, 2009 at 9:23 PM
What did I miss???? I am lost on this thread
It was all just a dream, Ogabi never really got elected you know…..*sigh*
clinker46 on July 10, 2009 at 9:29 PM
OK, Blake, we get it! Snap out of it and provide a link. I’m anxious to know what diabolical designs that evil, dangerous Allahpundit has in store for those whose adoration for Palin can only be matched by that of The One himself.
JimRich on July 10, 2009 at 9:38 PM
Who is this “other woman”? You keep talking in generalities man!! Put NAMES to the people so I know who/what you’re talking about (I don’t read Ms. McCain’s Tweets and could care less what AP has to say on his Tweets (or even HERE).
Anyways, don’t get so worked up about AP. That man has NOTHING of value to add to ANY conversation and your getting worked up about it only gives credence to him and his childishness. AP is nothing but a sensationalist who gets a kick out of saying/doing things to upset other people. A juvenile with little boy fantasies about a woman who outright called him a loser (i.e. ‘Beta-Male’). That guy isn’t worth the energy you’re putting into him. If he’s talking about Palin (I’m assuming, because as I said, I’m not sure WHO you’re talking about)…Palin herself will shut him up when she comes out swinging and behaving like the person the majority of us KNOW she can be. Let him talk all the shit he wants now. It’s be even sweeter to watch him EAT it later.

Nnnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooo nononono.
Worms are one of the most ridiculous political devices ever invented.

Wah.

How about C-SPAN installing polygraph equipment on our “representatives”
phreshone on July 10, 2009 at 10:11 PM
I wanna see this at the next YouTube debate. Someone call Frank Luntz stat.

I started the ‘Tombstone’ bit Huckleberry.

Very funny.

Nice! >_<

I’d have to link “it” in order for people to understand. Dear lord, forgive me.
Spawn of McCain’s Latest Hit Piece.
Read the first article. This woman Shay is seen as a rival by the fat dumb one. Someone posted a comment on her facebook attacking Obama. Nothing we don’t say every day but of course they think it’s outrageous. Then the same guy posted a racist comment. Shay comes back with a right on after the racist remark. She explained that she did not see the second comment. Nothing unusual about that. Refresh or die. Anyway, the little shits are working it as hard as they can.

Blake on July 10, 2009 at 10:47 PM
I really don’t give a crap about his opinion which is mostly based on his passive aggressive issues. What I care about is that he has a soapbox and forum in which to spew his opinions. That’s where the damage is done. He’s going nuts defending her now because he knows the $hit is yet to hit the fan.
Blake on July 10, 2009 at 10:49 PM
Funny… if it wasn’t true.
Hog Wild on July 10, 2009 at 10:57 PM
hahaha, poor duncan :D
As for Allahpundit, I think the only way he can appease us is with a formal apology AND a humpbot. Those are my terms.
FontanaConservative on July 10, 2009 at 11:08 PM
Well, I’m going to go watch Thunderball again. I love those opening credits with the girls swimming and all psychedelic like. Lots of nice underwater scenes which were done by Connery and Claudine Auger and not stunt doubles. I prefer the Bond girls from that era because they have some meat on their bones.
Blake on July 10, 2009 at 11:27 PM
Excellent point about the women back then. My favorite of all women in the Bond Films is in that movie and not the innocent one, but the red headed “Spectre”one. She’s an Italian actrss.
Jeff from WI on July 11, 2009 at 12:19 AM
Oh, definitely the redhead: Luciana Paluzzi. I looked up her name earlier. She is always dressed in blue or deep lavender. With that red hair and cleavage – spectacular.
Blake on July 11, 2009 at 1:12 AM
Yes, that’s her. Now THAT is what a woman should loomk like, not a twig
Jeff from WI on July 11, 2009 at 7:35 AM
You are full of all kind of crazy. If Hot Air is such a Palin bashing site in your opinion, I’d suggest you dig around for a nice safe echo chamber somewhere else.
Just because your opponents on the Left are thin-skinned lunatics with no sense of proportion or political reality doesn’t mean you have to copy them.
Asher on July 11, 2009 at 9:21 AM
Don’t throw a tantrum. If you don’t like my posts, don’t read them. Then maybe HotAir will be the nice safe echo chamber that you are looking for. And just because the left make dishonest attacks against republicans, doesn’t mean that you, AP, and the Spawn have to copy them. And labeling republicans racists is damn disproportionate in my book. The political reality is that if one hates the GOP and republicans so much that all you do is lie and bash them, one should join another party.
Blake on July 11, 2009 at 10:19 AM
And for the record because it can’t be stated too many times: Spawn of McCain is acting like a complete dirtbag.
Blake on July 11, 2009 at 11:25 AM
That’s sort of a microcosm of the entire bho campaign.
Mojave Mark on July 11, 2009 at 11:41 AM
My Congresswoman could use one of these Insta Polls as it is obvious her phones and email weren’t enough for her during the madcapper and traitor bill vote.

How many PO Boxes does one have to have when they tell the truth?
Watch the eyes and body language when they cross the line.
