Anyone Watch "Colbert Report"?

[Urse]

An Orthodox Jewish Gun dealer in Nashville TN where they let rednecks carry guns into bars? That could be some classic comedy right there.

+ Colbert ...definately a comedy cocktail

I think you should do it, but be prepared to have it edited. Its following is only around 1M viewers/day last I heard, so not as wide spread as you'd imagine, but its a good show. It's also schtick.

Take some of the advice and don't do the "one word answers," they will get you with that.

I would also see about having them only refer to you as your screen name. Having TCR report call you "The Rabbi" would, I believe, cater to the audience and possibly bring a little more respect.

Try watching a few clips of the interviewers to see how they play things. Its not your typical interview by any means. I'd watch a full episode or two to get the feel of it before you reply to them. It is a fun show, though.

Well, I forwarded this thread to the producer and her response was "I totally understand and thanks for your time."

So I guess I'm not ready for prime time after all.

Probably a good thing.

Well its probably a good thing you didn't go on it:

Anyone know any of these people?

[Fallguy]

Have to say I think the gut shooting pull with the shotgun was a plant, but who knows.

[strickj]

Well,atleast they interviewed shady folks like the bald crack head.Hopefully people will understand these are not the law abiding citizens that have hcp's

[shaftbass]

It's a satire show. You will be laughed at and made fun of by millions. Come on man, it's on Comedy Central. Don't do it.

[Mr. Brooks]

Well I don't know any of those people but I do live very close to the Nashville Palace. After seeing that I won't be giving that place any of my business, not that I go to that type of tourist trap anyway.

[Guest 2HOW]

That commie from CANADA, pretty funny guy.

[Guest Steelharp]

Steve Smith (Nashville Palace) has NFC how many guns are in his place anyway... it would be nice if legal carriers could pack them...

[The Rabbi]

Well, thanks to the members of the board. I would have been pretty upset to be portrayed as a gap toothed bubba. I might just shoot the assistant producer a little "love note" about this.

[The Rabbi]

OK, so I did. I am particularly incensed about it. Sen Jackson is truly a good man. I am told he initially opposed concealed carry but after it passed and had been in effect he came back and admitted he was wrong.

Here is my email to Liz Levin of Colbert. Lets see if the Ftard manages a response.

Hi,

Someone posted the resulting episode on Youtube and I got a chance to watch it.

I am glad my instinct was good and I avoided this particular gig. You might think it is amusing to caricature us Tennesseans as ignorant Bubbas who shoot pool with shotguns and can't wait to get into bar shootouts. I do not.

The people in this state are among the finest in this country. They are serious about their rights under the Constitution, all of them. They represent values and commitment to the American ideal and will endure long after the collapse of order in the socialist cesspools of the allegedly enlightened northeast.

Thanks

Nice Bill, very nice!

[Guest jackdog]

Nice note Bill, glad you did not do the show.

[The Rabbi]

That;s the thing. Since you have no control over their editing, they can do anything. Notice the scenes of Sen Jackson skeet shooting and how they interposed them with hotdogs, etc getting blowed up real good. I'm sure he had no idea they were going to do that.

And of course the editor never responded to my email. I'm sure it wasnt the first one like that they've seen.

[Guest Len]

That was pretty funny.

I'm betting Sen. Jackson knew what he was in for. Kudos to him for doing it anyway. You've got to have some guts going into a situation like that. Sen. Jackson is an interesting guy. He's a Democrat in basic political philosophy, but is, in the end, a pragmatist and tries to do what is right and attempt to serve his constituents. Should be more like him, regardless of party.

I'm not sure if this video has been posted, so I didn;t want to make another thread about it.

Here's the video with Mr. Jackson talking about Guns In Bars.
