On Thursdays morning shows, all three networks seemed to take delight in showing "MC Rove" ham it up for Wednesday nights Radio & Television Correspondents Association dinner.
None, however, showed the video footage of the distinguished Brian Williams, anchor of the "NBC Nightly News," burping the "Battle Hymn of the Republic."
The Los Angeles Times, one media outlet that did report the event, covered it this way:
For their first act, [comedians Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood] recruited NBC anchor Williams and Cheryl Gould, senior vice president of NBC News, to deliver the sound effects for a nonsensical skit about a hunter and a lawyer -- one that culminated with the two volunteers burping "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" to the incredulous delight of their colleagues.
I said it before, I think these correspondents dinners are disgraceful. People whose sole concern it is to ruin people's lives..and then they all come together to laugh and drink while men and women are dying overseas. It makes me ill.
Belching the Battle Hyme of the Republic? Just shows you how patriotic these media types really are. But MC Rove, that was the funniest thing I've seen in a decade.
Pure sickening!
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on.
I have seen Him in the watch fires of a hundred circling camps
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps;
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps;
His day is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His day is marching on.
I have read a fiery Gospel writ in burnished rows of steel;
As ye deal with My contemners, so with you My grace shall deal;
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with His heel,
Since God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Since God is marching on.
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat;
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet;
Our God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Our God is marching on.
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:
As He died to make men holy, let us live to make men free;
[originally
let us die to make men free]
While God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! While God is marching on.
He is coming like the glory of the morning on the wave,
He is wisdom to the mighty, He is honor to the brave;
So the world shall be His footstool, and the soul of wrong His slave,
Our God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Our God is marching on.
Make of jest of it, go ahead, make a jest of it.
A black tie gathering of jounalistic boobs and sophmoric twits. And, we wonder why the mainstream press is as ignorant and biased as it is. We are at war. Hard hearted, well funded men are right now plotting to kill Americans while the talking and writing heads, along with perfumed pols, are doing their best to imitate Bertie Wooster at the Drones Club. Too bad Nero couldn't be there with them to fiddle; he'd fit right in.

This is what the whole lot of them remind me of. And yes, that includes Bush and Rove. Seeing this kind of CRAP when our soldiers are being killed and maimed makes me sick! They can be funny behind closed doors.
Jeez! You guys need to lighten up! None of us should laugh or have fun until the soldiers are home? Don't know about you but I like to have fun even when somebody else isn't.
Not to mention opposed to GOD.

Brian Williams' idiocy is no reflection on Bush or Rove. But I must say that having a party and laughing it up is one thing, but having a party and laughing it up with these scumbag traitors is something else. Lie down with dogs.
The media is having fun at our Presidents expense, everyday in the Media. How could anyone stomach being around people that truly loathe everything you stand for? I for one could not.
I dare the detestable Brian Williams to follow this up by belching out whatever equates to a "Hymn" sung by Muslims. I double dog dare him. It's OK to disrespect or disgrace anything of a Christian nature in such a manner, but pricks like Williams don't have the gonads to do the same to Islam. Now, why is that? I triple dog dare him.
You just gave me chills. I love the words to the Battle Hymn.
I am right there with you.
Well said... toss in Caligula to keep'em all happy.
America's got talent!
I'm not saying that. YOU are not the CIC or Rove. These men are responsible for serious things. They need to act like serious people. And can't you see that they are not being laughed "with" by the people that hate them? They are being laughed at. And that is pathetic.
I would question the necessity of showing either.
Me, too!
