John E. Sununu, Jr. on the Daily Show - tonight

by: susanthe

Thu Feb 12, 2009 at 18:12:35 PM EST
NH's very own John E Sununu, Jr. will be the guest of Jon Stewart tonight on the Daily Show. I never saw him as a fun guy (more like a fungi) so this should be interesting.

11 pm on your teevee!

(Dean): Here's an embed (took forever to get it to embed):

And Paul Hodes on Rachel Maddow (4.00 / 2)
I can't wait for the Presidential primary season. Maybe then we'll get some relief from the media.
Will watch on Hulu tomorrow (0.00 / 0)
people like me sans cable or dish just see it later on the little screen.
Watching it now. (0.00 / 0)
They're talking about it.
O, ya (0.00 / 0)
Hes running for Senate again.  

You have to watch the interview later if your not watching it now.

Stewart v. Sununu on the hypocrisy of Republicans finding fiscal restraint NOW. (4.00 / 5)
John E. Sununu: This is a trillion dollar stimulus bill.  A trillion dollars.
Jon Stewart: I know, but we spent seven hundred billion dollars in Iraq! Why can't we build our country?
(cheering)
Sununu: We have a five hundred billion dollar deficit.
Stewart: Here's my idea--
Sununu: No one's against building the country.
Stewart: Here's my idea. I have weapons of mass destruction.  Invade me.
Sununu: (stammering)...where's the money gonna come from?

And that, my friends, is how you win a debate in American politics.

Best part (0.00 / 0)
That was the best part of the interview.

Sununu was just awful, and it looked like he packed on a few post-congress pounds...

[ Parent ]
Why in the world would John E. Sununu (0.00 / 0)
appear on the show??

He's not selling a book. I can't see any scenario in which this could have helped him.

yikes - that was embarrassing (4.00 / 2)
The GOP is trying new strategies to "connect" - they've started tweeting on the 'tubes -  maybe this was an attempt to show that they're cool, hip guys - so they sent their version of a young Republican - who was about as cool and hip as a leisure suit. I don't know. I can't imagine even Republicans thinking Johnny came out looking good on this show.  
[ Parent ]
Oh my... (4.00 / 2)
I fell asleep before he came on and so I just watched the link.

Holy smokes, there is simply no way anyone could possibly spin that this was a good move by John E.

So much for being "smart".

Democrats solve problems, Republicans sit and say no.

[ Parent ]
Sununu is lucky that Stewart doesn't like direct confrontation. (0.00 / 0)
Stewart kept referring to Bush-era Republicans in Congress as "they", and not "you".  That was very generous of him.

SUNUNUS (4.00 / 5)
He lies out of both sides of his face, as only a palindrome could.

Watch the Daily Show appearance.

And then reflect on the Beltway description of John E. as "the smartest man in the Senate."
