Gregory: Dick Cheney says John Kerry
would weaken America

Gillespie: yes but that doesn’t count

America and under Romney our
nation will be stronger

Gregory: why is Mitt obsessed
with the Soviet Union?

Gillespie: President Obama caused
the recession 2007

the Bush economy was totally awesome

primary fights do to Mitt?

Gillespie: Romney was strengthened by
taking on tough opponents like

or to the left of Ted Kennedy?

Gregory: anything else?

Gillespie: electricity! Eee-lectriii-cityyyy!

Gregory: ok

Gillespie: if people vote for Mitt Romney
our long national nightmare of
adding jobs and killing terrorists will be over

Gregory: should women have
personal freedom or not?

Gillespie: since Obama was sworn in
women have lost jobs

- whose fault is that?!?

Gregory: um the guy who took office in 2009?

Gillespie: exactly!

Gregory: thanks for coming Ed

[ break ]

Gregory: Bob you guys are politicizing
the killing of Osama bin Laden

Gibbs: in 2008 Obama said he would go
into Pakistan and McCain and Romney
said he wouldn’t

Gregory: did he?

Gibbs: he said it would be foolish

Gregory: does Obama really believe
Romney wouldn’t go into Pakistan
to kill bin Laden?

Gibbs: he said he wouldn’t!

Gregory: but bin laden is a bad guy

Gibbs: well then maybe Mitt is
flip-flopping on that too

Gregory: ha ha

Gibbs: also Romney would have
killed General Motors

Gregory: your campaign is indecorous

Gibbs: get used to it Fluffy

Gregory: how do you fix the recovery?

Gibbs: Bush lost 6 million jobs

Gregory: if you go by the numbers maybe

Gibbs: Romney doesn’t create jobs
- he loots companies

Gregory: they’re lootable

Gibbs: Obama has added 4 million jobs

Gregory: only four million?

Gibbs: we need a vibrant economy built to last!

Gregory: Mitt Romney says women will vote
for the GOP because gas prices are high

Gibbs: the GOP message is ‘why didn’t you
clean up the mess we made fast enough!’

Gregory: what about gyno-Americans?

Gibbs: they don’t trust women to
make their own decision!

Gregory: why should anyone vote for Obama
when Jimmy Kimmel made a joke about him?

Gibbs: we inherited the worst crisis in
50 years and now we are finally
recovering from it

Gregory: I see

Gibbs: should we elect a guy who buys
companies and fires everyone?

Gregory: maybe

Gregory: no Fluffy!

Gibbs: thanks for coming Gibber

Gregory: Hillary Rosen you said Ann Romney
worked a day in her life and those
remarks destroyed America

Rosen: how about talking about policies?

Gregory: do you think America can ever
recover from what you said?

Rosen: I do think so Fluffy

Gregory: do you hate motherhood?

Rosen: Romney wants poor working mothers
to pay more taxes while he gives his
rich friends a tax cut

Rogers: women don’t care about their bodies
- they care about the national debt

Gregory: what do women want?

Maddow: women makes 77 cents for
every dollar than women make

Castellanos: that isn’t true

Maddow: no?

Castellanos: well maybe they are
but there are reasons for it

Maddow: so it is true

Castellanos: yes but men are
valuable scientists so the should make more

Maddow: let’s talk policy - like the Fair Pay Act

Castellanos: I wish you were smart
Rachel because you are adorable

Maddow: you are a condescending jerk

Castellanos: who cares about abortion
or fair pay - the real problem is that
Obama caused the recession

Rosen: abortion fights are real!

Rogers: who cares! Gas prices are high!

Maddow: why are the GOP cracking
down on rape victims rights?

Rogers: Democrats are the ones who
are obsessed with abortion!

Castellanos: who cares about the law in Iowa??

Maddow: people in Iowa you idiot

Castellanos: What is this place called Iowa?
Is that even a state? Is that a city in
Game of Thrones?

Rosen: Mitt Romney endorsed the Paul Ryan
plan and that would cut day care which
would actually hurt women

Rogers: Paul Ryan? Iowa?? What are these
people and places you are talking about??
I’ve never heard of them!

Gregory: tell me about how you killed bin Laden

Williams: the White House photographer
helped us re-construct the moment when
bin Laden bought it

Gregory: is getting Osama political?

Williams: sure but it’s totally awesome

Gregory: that's cool B-Dub

Williams: hey if the mission had failed
don’t you think that would be political too?

Gregory: oh noe

Gregory: why is politics comedy fodder?

Sudekis: because we all look at these guys
and say oh man we’re doomed

Gregory: what’s it like playing Mitt Romney

Sudekis: he is boring like an uncrusted
butter sandwich

Gregory: You are dorky white guy playing
Barack Obama

alive if Mitt Romney were President?

because this was a big freaking deal

he really hates bin Laden!

about the raid

compound - what if it was rigged with bombs?

only Obama would have made such
a reckless decision

creating many jobs not in America

businesses online so Google can
steal their personal information

handing our government over to lunatics

because of government intervention there

or raise taxes now but we should do it
later when our problems are solved

taxes always do better

 - Obama said he wasn’t born with a
silver spoon in his mouth like Ricky Schroeder

Audience: ooh

Gregory: holy crap 11 members of the military
have been implicated in the Secret Service
prostitution scandal

King: I am shocked that agents went
to prostitutes - they should be fired and
elected to Congress

Gregory: wow

King: my staff is going to get the bottom
of these prostitutes

Gregory: good luck

King: we need to make sure these women
didn’t find out anything secret like
why we're in Afghanistan

Gregory: why should they have access
to information we don’t?

Issa: we are totally going to observe this investigation

Gregory: you’re a good man

Issa: I am told many of these
Columbians were foreigners

Gregory: shouldn’t we just fire
everybody in the Secret Service

Issa: Calm down Fluffy

Gregory: these weren’t rookies -
what the hell were they thinking?

King: we must have a zero tolerance
policy for contact with foreigners

Gregory: what do you demand
of the President?

Issa: be hands-off and also personally
conduct the investigation

Gregory: should the Director of the
Secret Service be fired?

King: oh no - he has too many secrets

Gregory: you disappoint me

King: you should see that guy’s files

Gregory: maybe Congress should do
more oversight on the Secret Service

King: oh everyone watches porn at work

Gregory: a Secret Service agent posted on
Facebook that he was checking Sarah Palin out

Issa: woot

Gregory: and then this moron at the GSA
posted pics of him with champagne -
don’t they know people read Facebook??

Issa: we should encourage more of this
- that’s how we catch ‘em!

King: he should have posted them on Google Plus
then no one would ever know

Gregory: why the hell is Newt Gingrich
still getting Secret Service protection?

King: he is being threatened by
Tiffany collection services
[ break ]

Gregory: Is Obama hopping mad?

Axelrod: he was apoplectic about the GSA scandal
- but he loves the Secret Service

Gregory: Senator Sessions says Obama
should be protecting the Secret Service

Axelrod: that shocking because he’s usually
so supportive of the President

Gregory: was that sarcasm?

Gregory: I bet Comcast has problem employees too

Gregory: not me -  I never rock the boat

Gregory: Obama leads in nearly every poll
but if you go inside the numbers he only
leads in 11 out of 15 categories

Axelrod: Romney wants to bring back
the Bush years - it didn’t fucking
the last time work

Gregory: so you won’t defend Obama?

Axelrod: he’s created millions of jobs Fluffs

Gregory: but not enough

Axelrod: the last quarter was the
best jobs quarter in six years

Gregory: this campaign is going to be
very mean - you called Mitt Romney out of touch!

Axelrod: He has an elevator for his cars Fluffy!

Gregory: who among us doesn’t have a
Carvelator™?

Axelrod: he wants to cut taxes for richest
Americans but double rates on student loans

Gregory: Karl Rove said Bush brought us
the war on terror so vote for him -
what’s your meaningless soundbite?

Gregory: the President is fighting for
the middle class

Gregory: But I don’t like Obama

Axelrod: well you’re not middle class
are you Greggers?

Gregory: I’m lower upper class

Gregory: when is Obama going cut Social Security?

Axelrod: he’s not

Gregory: but people are voting for
Mitt Romney because they hate Medicare

Axelrod: which people?

Gregory: the people I hang out with

Axelrod: there is a Reign of Terror on Capitol Hill!

Axelrod: that makes sense

Gregory: can you do big things?

blocking everything

Gregory: thanks for coming

[ break ]

Gregory: hey panel what about the Secret Service?

Brooks: I hate ego-centric people who think writing
for the New York Times makes them important

Cooper: Presidents are reluctant to go
after the Secret Service because they will
take a bullet for you

Todd: the media loves prostitutes

Gregory: prostitutes should be paid dammit!

Todd: The American people don’t trust
large institutions anymore

Dionne: the Secret Service scandal is
bad for progressives

Gregory: Barack Obama is going to divide
America by attacking Romney

Todd: people don’t like Romney but
they really dislike Republicans

Cooper: Is Mitt Romney a flip-flopper
or a right-wing extremist?

Brooks: I think both guys can lose the election

Gregory: at my cocktail parties we all
wonder why these guys won’t do big
things like cut Social Security!

Dionne: If Obama turns out young people,
women and blacks he’s got this

Todd: if Obama wins Hispanics he can win the West

Gregory: who will be the Vice President?

Brooks: someone really decent like Rob Portman

Cooper: McDonnell maybe boring too
but he can help with another swing state

Gregory: If Romney was serious about
the budget he would pick Paul Ryan

Dionne: Fluffy you are a moron

Todd: Senator Kelly Ayotte from New Hampshire
would be a real game-changer

Dionne: oh god

Gregory: I talked about Jay Leno

Leno: Al Gore is funny in person but
stiff on camera

Gregory: what about John Kerry?

and announced he was a regular person

Gregory: what about Mitt Romney

Leno: he exhibited many human-like qualities

Gregory: awesome

Gregory: speaking of inanimate objects
- welcome Stanley Cup!

Stanley Cup: hi Fluffy

Gregory: you are a very shiny object

Stanley Cup: I know what it takes
to get your attention

Gregory: you travel the world constantly,
are fondled by men and women, and
can hold 14 cans of beer

have happened

Maloney: ya think!?

Stephanopoulos: were any underage

*********************

Gregory: OMG President Hilary Rosen
attacked Ann Romney!

Audience: oh noe

Gregory: The Secret Service
went to prostitutes!

Audience: oh dear I hope President
Rosen is all right

Gregory: good morning Timmy -
let’s talk about only things
Mitt Romney wants to talk about

Geithner: ok

Gregory: Why is the recovery so slow?

Geithner: the business of America is
business and business is doing great

Gregory: I see

Geithner: the Bush recession was bad
and the crisis in Europe didn’t help

Gregory: why did my stocks go
down in last two weeks?

Geithner: don’t be so selfish Fluffy

Gregory: what about your own money?

Geithner: I invest all my money
in beanie babies

Gregory: Mitt Romney said Obama
fired 92% of women

Geithner: that’s utterly ridiculous

Gregory: is it?

Geithner: George W. Bush caused
a massive recession and men lost
their jobs in construction

Gregory: aha

Geithner: then Republicans got elected
and fired teachers which is ladies work

Gregory: we all feel that gas prices are
the most important thing ever

Geithner: gas prices go up when
the economy improves

Gregory: they do?

Geithner: also Iran saber-rattling
raises prices

Gregory: but Mr. Secretary that
it is uncertain!

Geithner: grow up Fluffy

Gregory: Obama raised the debt!

Geithner: Bush borrowed to pay for two wars,
tax cuts and a prescription drug giveaway

Gregory: but Tom Coburn says
we will be Greece in 24 months

Geithner: are you fucking serious Fluffy?

Gregory: you don’t see a debt crisis?

Geithner: not particularly

Gregory: but the debt!!

Geithner: hey if we followed Obama
proposals the debt would go down

Gregory: should we raise the debt ceiling?

Geithner: no if you want to wreck the economy

Gregory: income tax forms are too
long and complicated!

Geithner: believe me I know that

Gregory: why doesn’t the President reform
taxes instead of taxing poor rich people

Geithner: I’m sure you know we
have all kinds of proposals to
improve the tax code

Gregory: no one tells me anything

Gregory: the Buffet Rule would only
raise $5 billion a year

Geithner: just because Republicans oppose
something doesn’t make it a bad idea

Gregory: that never occurred to me

Gregory: Republicans says we should
cut taxes on rich people because
they are job creators

Geithner: we tried that - how did it work out?

Gregory: my taxes went down and
I bought a house on Martha’s Vineyard

Geithner: so we should raise taxes
on poor people?

Gregory: maybe

Gregory: Obama created an economic
recovery but it wasn’t big enough

Geithner: his policies got us out a worse
economic shock than the Great Depression

Gregory: so it’s s a success story?

Geithner: yes!

Gregory: really??

Geithner: yes really Fluffy!

[ break ]

Gregory: OMG Vice President
Hilary Rosen attacked stay at home mothers!

Bachmann: I was shocked and insulted!

Gregory: of course

Bachmann: Ann Romney knows all
about suffering under high gas prices

Gregory: I see

Bachmann: women are paying thousands
of dollars in gas because of Obama

Gregory: wow

Bachmann: Obama attacked women!

Gillibrand: why are we talking about
Hilary Rosen when the Governor
of Wisconsin repealed an equal pay law
and Obama’s health insurance favors women

Bachmann: Romney is very smart
unlike Barack Obama

Gregory: ok

Bachmann: Dodd-Frank is costing
women jobs!

Gregory: fascinating

Bachmann: Obama has caused
high grocery prices!

Gregory: wow this is a such an
important conversation

Audience: oh absolutely

Gregory: but I would like to see
you two in a pillow fight

Gillibrand: I’m sure

Gregory: remember when Hilary Clinton
attacked women who bake cookies -
that was awesome

Gillibrand: if half the people in Congress
were women we sure as hell wouldn’t
be debating the evils of contraception

Bachmann: I was shocked and insulted
when Hilary Clinton attacked women

Gregory: uh-huh

Bachmann: Obama raised gas
prices on women!!

Gregory: yes I think we got it

Bachmann: 15 years from now America
will cease to exist if Obama is reelected

Gregory: is that so?

Bachmann: also Obama will throw old
women out in the streets

Gillibrand: I would like to respond to that

Gregory: no

Gillibrand: this a very weird tv show

Gregory: do you think of Ann Romney
is a bad person?

Gillibrand: the GOP want employers to
take health care away

Bachmann: no we want women to make
their own choices

Gillibrand: that’s absurd

Gregory: should the Secret Service
be going to prostitutes?

Bachmann: the White House made
David Vitter go to prostitutes!

Gregory: thanks for coming ladies

[ break ]

Gregory: what about the gender gap?

Murphy: idiot talk show hosts love
this stupid issue but no one else cares

Gregory: Queen Hilary Rosen shocked America!

Guthrie: I’m not sure the nation can
ever recover from Rosen’s remarks

Gregory: Romney wants to get rid
of Planned Parenthood

Todd: Romney wants to close the gender
gap by manufacturing a controversy

Gregory: but I love a good fake controversy

Murphy: Obama doesn’t want to talk about jobs

Gregory: Bachmann makes a good point
that the most important thing in America
is the price of gas

Ford: exactly - Michele Bachmann made
some really good points

Gregory: so true

Ford: also women were very insulted
by Emperor Rosen

Gregory: I love you Harold

Ford: Mitt Romney is poised
to make big gains!

Murphy: Obama is a failure because
the Supreme Court is reviewing
his heath care law

Todd: this will be a very negative campaign

Ford: Mitt Romney will probably
win if he talks about big issues

Gregory: Romney can seem almost
human on Saturday Night Live!

Murphy: it might be good idea but
remember Mitt Romney is not funny

Gregory: Is the George Zimmerman
case about race?

Cosby: it’s about guns!

Gregory: ah

Cosby: when you have a gun you
mean to kill somebody

Gregory: what about Barack Obama?

Cosby: Obama is Sisyphus!

Gregory: was Sisyphus Muslim or Kenyan?

Cosby: he inherited a massive recession
and people pretend it never happened!

Gregory: ok

Cosby: critics act like he had a surplus --
our political discourse is just pathetic and sad

we’re still in a recession

Geithner: true but the Bush recession
was really really bad

Stephanopoulos: every spring we slide
back into recession

Geithner: yeah but that was back when
Europe was in trouble

Stephanopoulos: Europe is still in big trouble

Geithner: we’re fucked

Stephanopoulos: you’re a real
ray of sunshine

Geithner: we’re all going to die someday

Stephanopoulos: Nouriel Roubini says

Stephanopoulos: the recession is all
Obama’s fault

Geithner: that’s crap

Stephanopoulos: that could be true

Geithner: America is making more
energy than ever

Stephanopoulos: we’re not making jobs

Geithner: yes we are

Stephanopoulos: but not enough

Geithner: hey maybe you want
the recession back!

Stephanopoulos: Romney says
women lost 92% of jobs under Obama

Geithner: that’s incredibly stupid

Stephanopoulos: is it?

Geithner: Bush fired men and then
the GOP fired teachers

Stephanopoulos: but the number is accurate

Geithner: Republicans caused the
recession in 2008

Stephanopoulos: No!

Geithner: it’s true

Stephanopoulos: that’s not what I heard

Geithner: well it’s true and if we put
the GOPin charge it will happen again

Stephanopoulos: the Buffet Rule is bad
because it would only raise $5 billion

Geithner: that doesn’t make it a bad idea

Stephanopoulos: sure but why bother

Geithner: they can afford it

Stephanopoulos: won’t raising taxes
2% on billionaires wreck the U.S. economy

Geithner: no

Stephanopoulos: but they rich do so
much for us and ask so little return

Geithner: hey we still have a deficit

Stephanopoulos: I think I heard about that

Geithner: the rich pay less taxes than they
have in decades

Stephanopoulos: sweet

Geithner: should we raise taxes
on poor people?

Stephanopoulos: maybe

Stephanopoulos: in 2013 we face Taxmageddon!!!

Geithner: hey Obama wants to cut
taxes for the middle class right now!

Stephanopoulos: can you keep
gas prices down?

Geithner: no

Stephanopoulos: what’s the most
important quality in a Treasury Secretary?

Geithner: a total lack of charisma
and personal charm

[ break ]

Stephanopoulos: Timmy is worried
about the economy

Gigot: we’re growing but it’s really fragile

Roberts: a President benefits from
a strong economy!

Vanden Heuvel: expose the GOP
as roadblocks to adding jobs

Madden: Obama caused the recession

Barnes: lol you idiot

Vanden Heuvel: the economy will never
recover until homes prices are back

Gigot: Obama has failed the middle class!

Stephanopoulos: Obama challenged
Mitt Romney to release his tax returns

Madden: like most Americans he
needs until October to figure out
whether to hide his money in Switzerland,
Luxembourg or the Cayman Islands

Stephanopoulos: It’s a big decision

Roberts: he needs to tell a story where he
isn’t a out of touch rich guy

Vanden Heuvel: Romney looks like
the guy who fired you because
he probably fired you

Madden: Mitt is very worried about
the price people are paying for food

Barnes: lol no one thinks that

Madden: the Buffet Rule will not end the
deficit therefore we should not have it

Barnes: lol like cutting foreign aid you dweeb

Vanden Heuvel: 90% of income growth
has gone to the top 1%

Gigot: if you want the rich to pay more
taxes cut tax rates for the rich

Stephanopoulos: that is so brilliant

120,000 jobs last month

Durbin: yes but at least we’re adding
jobs which is more than I can say for
the last Republican President

Gregory: Obama says he created four
million jobs and Ohio has a low

Kasich: I am the best job creator

economics is all wet

Kasich: we don’t play politics in Ohio -
we just cut taxes and we’re exploding!

Durbin: we must follow Saint Alan Simpson
and not Paul Ryan who we know is evil
because he didn’t support the
hallowed Simpson-Bowles plan

Kasich: just cut taxes

Gregory: I like it

Kasich: cutting taxes is a moral issue
because it keeps marriages together

Gregory: cool

Kasich: these are cold hard facts

Gregory: Mitt Romney says Obama
believes in a government-centered society

Durbin: well he’s says a lot of stupid things

Gregory: but Mitt Romney is on to something!

Durbin: hey Fluffy we cut taxes and it
caused a fucking depression

Gregory: so we should cut taxes more!

Durbin: I heard you were a moron

Gregory: but poor people are so greedy

Kasich: let’s modernize entitlement programs

Gregory: oh noe!

Kasich: look government has a
role to play in health care

Gregory: what!? [ swoons ]

Kasich: Greece invented democracy and
in Ohio we are determined to avoid that trap

Gregory: the GSA wastes a lot of money

Durbin: it’s outrageous and therefore we
will hold probably hearings at some point

Gregory: Jon you won’t endorse
any Republican for President

Kasich: I’m not stupid to tie
myself to any of these clowns

Gregory: will Romney ruin the GOP?

Kasich: probably but it’s good because
then I can run for President in 2016

Gregory: good luck

[ break ]

Gregory: Republicans say Barack Obama
is engaging in an unprecendented
war on religion

Meacham: that may be overstating the case

Lori: the contraception mandate is
an attack on religious liberty

Gregory: expand on that

Lori: We should not have to follow the
law if it conflicts with our religion

Cleaver: there’s not war on religion - good god!

Gregory: what’s wrong with requiring
insurers to follow the law?

Lotz: I don’t know any facts about this but
I assume Obama is attacking all religion

Gregory: you are uninformed
but opinionated - I like it

Lotz: anyone can know facts through
Google but I want our President to
be terrified of a vengeful God

Labrador: no law can ever conflict
with a religious belief ever

Gregory: well of course

Labrador: Obama is attacking religion
but also the media has a liberal bias
for bringing it up

Gregory: that makes sense

Labrador: MSNBC is mocking the
Mormon faith just because its origin
story is utterly ridiculous

Gregory: so sad

Labrador: the fact is any religion can
seem really peculiar which is why they
all must be respected

Gregory: of course

Meacham: I would just like to say that
like all Americans I love Billy Graham

Gregory: we all do

Lori: I must repeat my contention
that religious organizations should
not have to obey the law

Gregory: why doesn’t Mitt Romney
talk about his religion more?

Cleaver: who the hell cares - there is
no religious test for office

Gregory: I know that but let's face it
Mormons are fucking weird

Lotz: I know nothing about religion
or politics - the real issue is that Romney
cut taxes and Obama is a socialist

Meacham: Presidents are busy enough
without worry about without legislating
your father figure in the sky

Labrador: we must beat Obama!

Greg: preach it Labby

Labrador: it would be nice if Romney
would admit he was a Bishop in my
church instead of running away from it

Gregory: how can we get more people
to follow a narrow and intolerant
form of christianity?

Lotz: my daddy used radio and television

Gregory: I don’t trust any religion not on tv

Lotz: religion is not important we must
look at the policies of the candidate

Gregory: you make a good point

Lotz: but I would never vote for an
atheist because they would be not scared
of being ordered to kill their child by Yahweh

Lori: religion makes you moral except
for the occasional child molesting

Meacham: religion is very nice but
let’s not go overboard

Cleaver: all religions are inherently
arrogant and divisive

Gregory: why do people think Obama
is a Muslim and why would that be bad?

Labrador: I don’t think he is a Muslim
- I think he’s a socialist

Gregory: as a Jew I am reminded
we are all slaves

Lori: the true test for religious liberty
is whether a person can use their
superstition to avoid the law

Meacham: religious people won the
Civil war and led the civil rights movement

Lori: Fluffy your being Jewish reminds
me of how awesome Jesus is

Gregory: and that’s another episode
of Meet The Press

This Week With George Stephanopoulos - April 8, 2012

Guests: Rick Warren
George Will
Peggy Noonan
Chrystia Freelan
Michael Eric Dyson
David Chalian
*********************************
Tapper: wow Rick Warren has sold
30 million books - that’s almost as
many as The DaVinci Code

Warren: thanks Jake

Tapper: what’s the deal with God?

Warren: he’s all kinds of awesome

Tapper: why do horrible things happen
like the Black Death, the Holocaust
and Toddlers & Tiaras?

Warren: because people basically suck

Tapper: what’s wrong with America?

Warren: we’re selfish and short-sighted
which is why we need to cut spending

Tapper: what about ‘love thy neighbor’?

Warren: the Bible yammers on and
on about the poor but the best thing
to help the poor is to cut taxes for the
rich and build nuclear weapons

Tapper: the Bible does mentions
the poor quite a lot

Warren: I’m fundamentally about the
freedom to be poor if that’s your choice

Tapper: you hate contraception

Warren: no government should tell
people do things if it is against their religion

Tapper: you said every single American
is not better off than they were 4 years ago

Warren: that isn’t true but it could be

Tapper: who’s to blame?

Warren: everyone and by everyone
I mean Barack Obama

Tapper: noted theologian Andrew Sullivan
says Jesus was a gay man who
looked like Brad Pitt

Warren: Newsweek hates the church
just because religion is responsible
for numerous atrocities

Tapper: so unfair

Warren: there is a terrible trend of not
trusting large corrupt institutions in America

Tapper: on noe

Warren: it’s not news that churches
are arrogant and corrupt so stop talking about it

Tapper: Is Mitt Romney a Christian?

Warren: no because Mormons don’t
believe in the holy trinity

Tapper: what is the State of Union spiritually?

Warren: people are just too mean

Tapper: I’ve noticed that

Warren: I blame people for blaming people!

Tapper: polls show people don’t
want religion in government

Warren: we should not ban religious
people from public life

Tapper: how brave of you to say

Warren: you don’t think gay people
should have the same rights as everyone else

Warren: I don’t have the right to
change the word of God I just interpret
it whether it's shellfish, slavery or the gays

Tapper: got it

Warren: I also think premarital sex is wrong

Tapper: um I think your members
have had premarital sex

Warren: I’m aware of that

Tapper: so why not permit gay marriage?

Warren: because gays sap our bodily fluids

Tapper: what about Tim Tebow?

Warren: America was great 300 years
ago when people like Tim Tebow could
pray before a good witch burning

Tapper: Can Jews go to heaven

Warren: no - but I don’t judge I just
follow Jesus’ cruel arbitrary orders

Tapper: Why is your God so mean?

Warren: because all people are evil but a
few people are saved from eternal torture
if they sign the right loyalty oath

Tapper: got it

Warren: God doesn’t grade on a curve -
all you have to do is swear fealty to Jesus

Tapper: do dogs go to heaven?

Warren: oh sure all dogs go to heaven

Tapper: cats?

Warren: some of them

Tapper: what do you mean?

Warren: American shorthairs but not Persians

Tapper: so in heaven dogs yes, cats maybe, Jews and Muslims, no

Warren: that’s right Tappy

Tapper: you lost weight

Warren: I baptized 500 people in one day and
I realized ‘good god Saddleback is full of fat people’

Tapper: have you thought about
baptizing them posthumously

Warren: I was a Purpose-Driven Eater!

Tapper: how did you get thin

Warren: I went on the Daniel Plan

Tapper: what’s that

Warren: lock yourself in a lion’s den

Tapper: Happy Easter dude

[ break ]

Tapper: Can Obama tie the Ryan Plan
as an albatross around Mitt Romney’s neck?

Will: that loser Romney already did it for him

Freeland: it will be good to have national
debate over social darwinism vs the
Heritage foundation’s health care plan

Chalian: sadly it will be a negative campaign

Noonan: In the green room we were drinking
and talking about how Obama is campaigning
harder than Mitt Romney and he has a job

Dyson: Romney is sending his wife
out do anthropological studies and
report back on what women want

Tapper: we only added 120,000 jobs in March

Will: Obama caused the recession 2007

Chalian: blah blah Obama blah jobs blah

Freeland: um what

Noonan: this all so sad

Dyson: at least we’re adding jobs -
if you want to lose jobs please elect
another Republican

Noonan: sigh

**************************************

Guthrie: OMG Wisconsin may finally
push Rich Santorum out of the race

Guthrie: welcome Frothy

Santorum: thanks Savannah

Guthrie: why should people vote for you?

Santorum: I’m a blue collar guy who happens
to earn a million dollars a year as a lobbyist
in Washington D.C.

Guthrie: I see

Santorum: it’s amazing that I have not
dropped out considering everyone hates me

Guthrie: will you drop out when you lose Wisconsin?

Santorum: This primary is like David vs Goliath
if Goliath was a rich unprincipled robot and
David was a unpopular repressed weirdo

Guthrie: you’re not even winning in your home state

Santorum: I don’t expect to win the Beltway

Guthrie: I mean the commonwealth
of Pennsylvania

Santorum: Oh that place

Guthrie: you literally can’t win the nomination

Santorum: a lot of the delegates are unbound
which is sounds kinky but is awesome

Guthrie: why are you still running?

Santorum: most Republicans want a conservative
and I’m all they have left

Guthrie: even Marco Rubio thinks you could
wreck the party’s chances in the fall

Santorum: we chose the most electable nominee
in 2008 and John McCain got killed against Obama

Guthrie: so when will you drop out or are just insane

Santorum: Republicans will have more money
in the fall if I stay in the race

Guthrie: really?

Santorum: only one incumbent Democrat has
lost to a GOP challenger and that was Jimmy Carter
and I people thought was Reagan racist and stupid
which is what people say about me too

Guthrie: you make excellent points Frothy

Santorum: Mitt Romney authored a government
takeover of health care!

Guthrie: all the party genius party elders like
Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio have endorsed Romney

Santorum: those guys are idiots

Guthrie: aren’t you a member of the Establishment?

Santorum: no I was a bomb-throwing
U.S. Senator challenging those who opposed
coal and oil companies

Guthrie: I see

Santorum: I fought for the little guy from
my office on K Street

[ break ]

Guthrie: Senator are you going to make
news this morning!?!

Johnson: yes I am endorsing Mitt Romney
because he has great business experience

Guthrie: squeeeee!!

Johnson: Obama knows nothing!

Guthrie: so you really like Romney

Johnson: no I hate him - my endorsement
is just a recognition that Romney has
the most delegates

Guthrie: I see

Johnson: Barack Obama has failed to
cut Social Security!

Guthrie: OMG the Supreme Court is going
to overturn Obamacare!

Schumer: that’s crapola Guthry

Guthrie: is it

Schumer: Justice Scalia said the federal
government can regulate medical marijuana
just because potheads iz bad!

Guthrie: It looks like you might lose Kennedy’s
support for the Administration action

Schumer: it wasn’t just the Administration silly person

Guthrie: but the Commerce Clause prevents
the government from operating

Schumer: guns near schools don’t affect
interstate commerce

Guthrie: but how could a Con Law Professor
President get it so wrong

Schumer: every conservative justice has upheld
the law and by the way the mandate has always
been a conservative idea

Guthrie: Solicitor General Verrilli drank water
during his argument so the entire health care
system must be changed

Schumer: if you don’t buy broccoli you
don’t change the market for food

Guthrie: you said health law would be
popular and you got it wrong

Schumer: no I didn’t

Guthrie: but some people would like
it repealed in part

Schumer: what the holy fuck does that mean

Guthrie: I don’t know

Guthrie: Will Mitt Romney be the nominee?

Schumer: I hope so because he endorsed the
Ryan plan which would destroy the
nation as we know it

Guthrie: thanks for coming you unpopular idiot

Schumer: you’re welcome you stupid bint

[ break ]

Scarborough: Tom I heard you talked
to a taxi driver in New Zealand

Friedman: America has lost the ability
to do big things

Scarborough: so tragic

Friedman: Democracy creates Rube Goldberg
unperfect things

Scarborough: why don’t Americans
love Obamacare?

Friedman: because Obama doesn’t
explain the merits of the law

Brzezinski: people made fun of the
oral arguments ha ha ha

Brooks: the mandate violates fundamental liberty

Ford: the mandate is a Republican idea!

Brooks: I love the mandate and we are all
in this together so towns and villages should
each have their solution to health care

Meacham: we have judicial review because
of the French Revolution

Scarborough: isn’t Obama a loser

Meacham: yes he is

Scarborough: what about Mitt Romney

Ford: he is also a loser

Scarborough: could Obama run against
an activist court?

Ford: why not

Scarborough: 50% of peope dislike Mitt Romney

Friedman: only because people are
getting to know him

Meacham: Obama is another Jimmy Carter!

Scarborough: sing me more of that sweet music Jon

Brzezinski: Mitt Romney seems like an
unprincipled rich out-of-touch jerk which
is not fair because he is not a jerk

Brooks: some of his beach houses
don’t have carelevators

Brooks: Donald Trump and the Kennedys
charmed people even though they were rich

Brooks: Romney just need to hang out with
Sam’s Club Republicans for three months

Meacham: unlike FDR or JFK Mitt Romney
is an impersonal unemotional dork

Meacham: Ronald Reagan said
"the camera never lies”

Ford: but he was lying

Brzezinski: true

Scarborough: Obama went after oil companies

Friedman: the world is getting like Albuquerque
- hot flat and crowded

Scarborough: ha

Friedman: we should raise gas taxes
which make Americans embrace solar energy
and the metric system

Scarborough: Harold you want Obama to work
with energy companies and stop attacking
our adorable algae making oil barons

Brzezinski: are you fucking serious Harold

Ford: we must applaud our wonderful
free market oil companies

Brzezinski: what a joke you are

Scarborough: Tom please tell the aboriginals
in New Zealand we found the only conservative
Democrat in America on Meet The Press

[ painful laughter ]

This Week With George Stephanopoulos - April 1, 2012

Guests:
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)
Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD)
************************************

Stephanopoulos: wow Paul Ryan has endorsed
Mitt Romney - lock this baby down!

Stephanopoulos: Representative Ryan Democrats
say your plan would cripple America

Ryan: the American people want someone who
isn’t campaigning all the time - Mitt Romney

Stephanopoulos: but all Mitt Romney does
is campaign for President

Ryan: only if you could conceive what he has
been doing lately as ‘campaigning’

Van Hollen: the Ryan plan would slash
investment in America and reward
the richest Americans

Stephanopoulos: Paul you called America’s
military Generals big liars

Ryan: oh yeah I like totally misspoke I didn’t
mean to say that out loud

Stephanopoulos: that makes sense

Ryan: Obama is a hypocrite because he
spends more money on everything but wars
which we must always fight

Stephanopoulos: I can’t argue with that

Ryan: let’s hurt the wealthy by lowering
the highest rates

Van Hollen: the Ryan plan doubles down on
tax cuts for rich which would raise the debt

Stephanopoulos: what’s wrong with that

Van Hollen: they make up the difference by
raising rates on poor Americans!

Ryan: we have a debt crisis so therefore
we must cut taxes!

Stephanopoulos: the President’s lawyer didn’t
address Tea Party concerns before
the Supreme Court

Van Hollen: our health care system is broken
and Obamacare fixes it by requiring people
to buy health insurance

Ryan: Obama took over health care and the
Founders never intended to let the government
make you buy something!

Van Hollen: that’s how they do it Massachusetts!

Ryan: what would people in Boston know
about the Founding Fathers!?

Van Hollen: ok let’s go with single payer then

Ryan: Obamacare will ruin our great health care system!

Stephanopoulos: do you have an alternative

Ryan: we have a plan to give people with
preexisting conditions health insurance
and also free unicorns

Stephanopoulos: Obama has raised gas prices

Van Hollen: free market - ever heard of it?

Ryan: oil on public lands would be given
away free to Americans!

Van Hollen: no it wouldn’t

Ryan: American-made energy is awesome!

[ break ]

Will: we learned this week that there are five justices
who have swallowed tea party rhetoric about Obamacare

Stephanopoulos: for a different perspective let’s
turn to hate-filled lunatic Ann Coulter
