Apparently, Late-night comedian Conan O’Brien thinks asking the President
of the United States a serious question is something to ridicule. Or maybe
it wasn’t the question, but just the fact that it was a well-known
conservative that posed the rather inoffensive query.
As President Obama has allowed but one puffball interview after another,
avoiding all the serious questions he can, he was nonetheless asked a rather
mild, but serious question by Elisabeth Hasselbeck of ABC’s The View.
But the gall of someone actually asking a serious question of the President
was too much for O’Brien to bear.
One could also ask, “who the hell’s Conan O’Brien”? Well, for one, O’
Brien is the same fellow who in 2010 failed so spectacularly as the Tonight
Show Host that he was fired.
O’Brien went on with his baseless attack on Hasselbeck. “Hey, leader of
the free world! Answer this!,” O’Brien then screamed as he indulged an
impression of Hasselbeck that portrayed her as some ugly, hateful shrew
attacking the President. Of course, the truth is, Hasselbeck asked the
question in a respectful and civil manner and wasn’t at all being as
hateful as O’Brien portrayed her.
O’Brien was so incensed that Hasselbeck had the temerity to ask Obama a
question it makes one wonder just who elitist O’Brien thinks should be “
allowed” to talk to the man we all democratically elect to lead us?
If the unoffensive Hasselbeck, a woman who has no history of any scandals or
unsavory behavior, shouldn’t be allowed to speak to the President, who
should?
Maybe his friend David Letterman? A man who it was revealed sexually
harassed a female co-worker?
Or maybe former CBS news anchor Dan Rather who is now a “former anchor”
because he was caught lying on the air and knowingly pushing a false story
meant to harm a president’s reelection chances.
Maybe O’Brien thinks pillars of the community like the two aforementioned
somehow have a more legitimate “right” to ask a president a question?
I supposed wondering what O’Brien was thinking, however, is a silly
question. O’Brien is simply another one of those far left, TV suits who can
’t stomach any serious questioning of his Obamessiah. His knee jerk support
of The One proves that no “thinking” involved.
“Who the hell’s Elisabeth Hasselbeck?,” O’Brien demanded to know. |
