3. That's clever to a degree, but I also find using that
haunting music distasteful.

I am sometimes in tears during that weekly, especially when I read the names of teenage service members killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I know what you were trying to do, and it was a good twist, but...I'm not sure it worked using that music.

4. There was definitely
a period of time where this segment had me in tears on a weekly basis.

Nevertheless, it is what it is and that's the music they always use for the segment. What would you suggest, the theme from the Benny Hill show?

5. I'm only telling you from my point of view, the bit doesn't
really work.

The music is sad.

It made me imagine if Stephanopoulos really did die, I would not be happy. I would be sad.

It brought back sad moments of the Clinton Administration, particularly the Time Magazine photo regarding White Water. I found that photo haunting as well.

Sorry if I don't find those things amusing Buck Power.

6. I understood
you the first time.

What you apparently didn't grasp was the fact that I found you very amusing, cboy4.

Not everyone has a sense of humor.

s'cool.

8. FYI...
...the name of the song used by Benny Hill is called "Yakety Sax"

(here is a video showing Christopher Walken dancing to it)

9. Excellent Job! Yes, Snuffy- you're dead to us.
don't change the music- that music was written specifically for the segment so it's the only appropriate choice.

:headbang:

10. I thought that.... when he turned on the Clintons
Edited on Thu Apr-17-08 07:47 AM by susankh4
he wrote his own obit.

Now it appears he may have redeemed himself??

I'll be watching the debate tonight. (Couldn't get to it last evening..... I was a choir practice.)

I can't wait!

11. When the Lewinski scandal broke, rumor was that
someone said "I thought that was George Stephanopoulos's job."

21. That was I
I pulled it down after Greta Van Botox over at Fox News called it a threat.

The good news is that a NEW and IMPROVED version has been re-posted! Now with more "on the nose" subtitles so that EVEN FOX NEWS ANCHORS CAN COMPREHEND IT!
