Funny Video: Colberts Live Tony Hayward Cam Tracking His Slow Resignation

*** Check out Colbert's reaction to BP finally - OK, temporarily - plugging the Gulf oil leak. The best news yet is the slow motion firing of BP CEO Tony Hayward.





From Denny: Colbert came back from his vacation to find that BP had finally plugged the damn hold out on the ocean floor of the Gulf of Mexico. It's a temporary fix and actually has the potential to blow at any moment but hey! we will call it a "temporary win" for now.

Colbert gushed about how happy he was to hear of the successful capping of the BP oil spill. He gushed even more than the 200 million gallons of oil presently in the Gulf when he discovered the firing of BP CEO Tony Hayward, the most hated man in America - OK, the world.

Supposedly, Hayward resigned immediately. To those of us on the Gulf coast we prefer to think of his firing as the "much too long goodbye" and the "slow motion firing." The guy doesn't actually leave until October and they announced his leaving in July. Hey, BP, make sure Tony doesn't steal any of the silverware on his way out, hoping to hock it in Russia, his next lying gig. He ought to fit right in with the ruthless Russians. Hayward thinks he's big and bad. Wait until he spends some time in Russia. They will teach him all about big and bad. Hayward's an amateur in need of being taken to the woodshed.

Anyway, Colbert decided to mock the hell out of Hayward's so-called resignation, describing it as a "long, complicated process that is going to take some time." Colbert unveiled his new BP live Tony Hayward cam where we get to view what people really want to see: a robotic arm handing him his "You're fired" pink slip and watch Hayward get pelted with golf balls and garbage all in the name of how BP tries to get rid of Hayward in style.

Colbert comments about how Hazmat workers have been cleaning up tarballs on the Gulf coast beaches. "Now," he says, "our hearts go out to the Hazmat workers, who will soon be on the beaches cleaning up balls of Hayward." Colbert sends the workers his best wishes.

Funny Video: Jon Stewart Mocks Media For Sorry WikiLeaks Reaction

*** Check out Jon Stewart as he rips to shreds, in fine mocking style, the not so stealthy WikiLeaks leaker.





From Denny: The bland lack of reaction from most of the media about this WikiLeaks documents dump about the Afghan War is stunning in their nonchalant mediocrity. Of course, most of the bored commentators are Republicans who know most of these documents harken back to the Bush years and are trying to downplay the documents, fearful of what those docs may eventually reveal for which they know their political party is responsible.

As usual, too many in America's media are clueless as to the true crass meaning of how those docs are causing hundreds, maybe thousands, of people to be killed because they cooperated with American and allied soldiers. Don't even get me started on America's enemies pouring over the docs to read our military and intelligence communities. WikiLeaks handed them a gift. The idiot Australian who owns WikiLeaks put his own countrymen at risk, as they are our allies. If the Pentagon has an ounce of smarts they will change all their systems and processes immediately because of this fiasco.

Meanwhile, Jon Stewart is one of the few in the media who does understand the enormity of the situation and decided to weigh in on the scandal. "As any sane person would think that a security breach of this magnitude must have been carried about by highly efficient, almost ninja-like informants who used stealth tactics to obtain the information and leak it to WikiLeaks."

Stewart reveals there was no ninja-like guy behind the doc leaks. Bradley Manning went by the really secretive online screen name of "BradAss87." He claimed to be an Army intelligence analyst operating in Baghdad. Excuse me, but just how difficult would it be to locate a guy named Brad who was born in 1987 and was an Army intel guy in Baghdad? Not difficult at all it turns out.

Of course, WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, claims he had no idea who BradAss87 truly was because his site supposedly hides the identity of their sources so well even WikiLeaks doesn't know who it is. Uh, yeah, and you expect us to believe that one? Assange claims his site is so stealthy because he is running one step ahead of the world's intelligence agencies. Oh, please. Would someone please research this creep and find out if he was an intelligence community reject who couldn't pass the psyche exam?

You want to know how BradAss87 accomplished his doc dump so easily? He claims he would bring in music to listen to while he analyzed intelligence data. Let me stop you right there. That's the first thing wrong with this guy - what an idiot. No wonder so much intelligence is poorly analyzed - because they don't have their full focus upon it. Guys like this are too busy lip syncing to their favorite music instead of employing reading comprehension to the task at hand.

Then this total Bozo Sapien Brad Ass says he erased his Lady Gaga CDs and proceeded to download the docs on them, then walked out the door. OK, here's the obvious question, "Where the hell were the security checks and balances here?" Never allow anyone to walk in or out with any kind of technology that could be employed in compromising security. What was the Army thinking? Or is that just it? They weren't thinking. The whole line of command should be thrown in the brig for that idiot fiasco. And I want to hear the real explanations for why they were asleep on the job - not the pablum fed to the American media who gobble it up without question.

At least Jon Stewart had the sense of humor to ask, "How does a soldier sit around lip syncing to Lady Gaga all day, and not run afoul of 'don't ask don't tell'? That has GOT to be a substitute for telling, no?"

Of course, most of what the WikiLeaks docs revealed were nothing new to those who already know long drawn out wars are just plain stupid as well as unproductive. Let's not even get started on the recent GAO report about how 95 percent of the money appropriated for the war cannot be accounted for at all.

The other supposedly new revelation is that Pakistan has its bribed traitors in their intelligence community who sell out their own country by sending American foreign aid money to the Taliban in Afghanistan to kill Americans. Why is this such a surprise? Where there is big money there is big corruption.
