Back when Donawho? had his show, his stock in trade was getting people on stage who didn't have a clue about media, and then have his greek chorus of frumpy women go "oooooooohhhhh" while he used every cheap trick in the book. He'd cut them off, motion the audience to respond negatively, and his favorite tactic was to ask one of those "do you still beat your wife?" questions and then go to a commercial without letting them answer. He was also a master at changing the subject when he was losing a point. Whenever he went after someone who was comfortable in front of a camera, he got his clock cleaned, as he did on this transcript. Jesus H. Christ, his comments sound like an Alzheimer's patient ordering in a Chinese restaurant. "Aren't you proud of yourself? 70 billion chasing Clinton? What about the way Haliburton acts, Huh? 70 million to look up Monica's dress. And people say you're an anti-semite! What about that? And you got fired once! And Enron gouged California electrical customers! Customers who sent their children to die in wars!" He sounds like John Belushi doing his comments in one of those old Saturday Night Live weekend updates, the ones where he'd have a heart attack at the end.
I will NOT watch Donawho, but thanks so much for posting this. It's too funny for words.
Can't decide who wins for the best comment so far but these lead the running:
"Good to see he's still a scattershot, mutton-headed, discombobulated moron" - by dead
"He's so pathetic he didn't know he was proving the point of her book." - by Oldeconomybuyer
"He kept accusing Ann of obsessing over Clinton, but he was the one who continually brought his name up. It seemed at times as if he wasn't sure who his guest was." - by Hillary's Gate Cult
"Ann showed Phil to be a real girly boy. Phil is washed up and needs to retire." - by cibco
"I’m not in the book. What am I? A potted plant?"
Why, yes, Phil, you are. An artichoke, I think. (Apologies to all artichokes with intellect.)" - by flyvet
"Whoa - 'ol Phil-boy had his ass handed to him on a plate. But I don't think that he even noticed. Years of the most astonishing liberal mental gymnastics required to deny reality have truly left all of his synapses flaccid. " - by Noumenon (hello, noum - nice to see you posting, byw)
All of the above are first class zingers - but I do believe these by Jonathan Spectre WIN the prize! ROFL! Thanks for the laughs, all of you - especially J. Spectre....LOLOLOL
"Phil Donahue is such a bitch he makes George Michael look like the Marlboro Man.
Emasculated, terrified, hysterical girly-man without an original thought in his head. I'm always surprised when I see him on TV you can't see the guy from the DNC with a hand up his ass working his mouth."
