John McCain hates me
By
“Now we’ve got the cables. We’ve got talk radio. We’ve got the bloggers. I hate the bloggers. We’ve got all kinds of sources of information …”
– John McCain
But that’s okay, Ted Hitler likes us just fine.
“The vast majority of bloggers out there are responsible correspondents doing fine work in niche reporting fields like Gilmore Girl fan fiction, or cute things their cats do, or photoshopped images of the Gilmore Girls as cats. That’s great. Where I draw the line is with these attack-bloggers. Just someone with a computer who gathers, collates and publishes accurate information that is then read by the general public. They have no credibility. All they have is facts. Spare me.”
– Stephen Colbert

Man, this proves he’s out of touch. You don’t say you hate the bloggers. Hate on the bloggers, get blogged about in baaaaaaaad ways.

I’d love to see more of this. And I love how we have “the cables”. That’s better than having “the internets.”

I agree. Saying he hates bloggers is not a good idea. It definitely shows how out of touch McCain is. He did just become a tiny bit more interesting though.
“The cables” made me laugh. I hope “Stephen” starts using that term on the show.
DB, thanks for including the Ted Hitler video. I can never get enough of that one.

When McCain said he hated the bloggers, it sounded to me (and maybe I heard it wrong) like he was trying to make a joke. But still, “cables” is hilarious, a close second to the internet being “a series of tubes.” :)
Thanks for the Ted Hitler clip, that’s one of my favorites!

Yeah, I think he was joking when he said he hated bloggers, but he definitely is out of touch based on “the cables” line. Haha. Sounds like someone who can’t handle all these new-fangled inventions:)

“The cables” needs to go down in history. Let’s make that happen, shall we?

I’d love to see his response if he did. Cables will go down in history.

I love it how (and I’m guessing here, but knowing how much Stephen loves to make Jon laugh for the hell of it, I bet you I’m right) Stephen said “Ted Hitler” again, just to make Jon laugh. I can’t get enough of them doing sketches together. It’s like The Joy Machine times two!

I just love that Ted Hitler piece. And it always made me laugh an extra amount because I used to write Gilmore Girls fanfiction in middle school. How special it feels to be directly mocked by Stephen!

One of my all time favorites! “Ever since you told me that I can barely look at you” kills me every time. Well, that and the panda thing, and the Colombian drug mule part, and best of all, Ted Hitler. When Stephen says to Jon, “There’s a reason I changed it”, and Jon says “Yes”, you know they must have had some other fake name originally, then Stephen changed it to Ted Hitler. Heeee
