Red Eye Is So Awesome That They Found a Way to Make David Shuster Tolerable, Even Amusing
Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld is, in my refined and sophisticated opinion, one of the best and most underrated programs on television. The in-jokes, ironically formulaic production, and all-over surreal quality are simply perfect at 3 a.m., plus the Gregalogue is consistently profound yet snarky. They’ve even had some really good guests lately, like John Bolton, Thaddeus McCotter, and Oderus Urungus from GWAR via satellite from space (of course).
David Shuster, on the other hand, is an annoying little troll. He constantly talks over his guests to the extent that nothing gets said (or heard) and Bill O’Reilly is a fantastic interviewer by contrast. Hearing his voice also feels like what I imagine it would feel like being mildly tasered. It’s painful in a dull, but sickening way. There is something truly, deeply wrong with any network which gives that voice an hour five days a week. That’s Mitch Albom’s old time slot. Sure, his show was also awful, but at least he had a soothing voice.
So I’m quite objective.
Anyway, Shuster appeared on Red Eye Robot Theater (my favorite, which I often think about posting here but then decide it’s just too weird and creepy). Then he wrote in to thank Red Eye for featuring him, so showed up in Red Eye Robot Theater again.
I love Red Eye Robot Shuster and it turns out that real-life David Shuster isn’t annoying at all in written thank you notes. Way to go, Red Eye. I never thought would be a Shuster fan, but I guess I sort of am now.
In all honesty, I believe that all of the Employees over at MSNBC only exist now in order to get noticed by Fox News, and David Shyster's email confirms this.
Well said Nalora. I have thought in the past, when so much of NewsReal was about the MSM, that the only attention MSNBC got was from NewsReal. No other site could take these commenters apart like the happy little group here.
NOTE TO Mr. Swindle: Can you get Forsmark to dust off that rapier wit of his, ask the Birkels to stop playing with the baby for an hour, shoot Ben Johnson an email and ask them all to point out the lack of intelligent entertainment at MSNBC. Please tell Mr. Johnson The Ed Show feature Psycho Talk offers endless possibilities. Aren't The Ed Show coupled with Psycho Talk one and the same?
BTW, I look forward to the next COMCAST (the new owners of NBC et al) stockholders meeting. I just might go to this one.
“Anyway, Shuster appeared on Red Eye Robot Theater (my favorite, which I often think about posting here but then decide it’s just too weird and creepy).”
I find the awkward cadence of the speech and glassy looks to be a conforting format compared to what one gets from the “hosts” at MSNBC.
That's because Red Eye Robot Theater doesn't yell at you, talk down to you, or judge you.
