Impeachment coverage looks like a quirky number in a show choreographed by Bob Fosse.

Joe Rogan is pulling that whole gaggle with his teeth.
I saw that movie. It was called the Blob.
I've seen that before. A Mel Brooks movie?
I feel bad for the short guy in the back. He can’t see what he’s doing and won’t know until later if he has anything.
Doing the turtle.
Nothing more to say than...Journalism!
Cattle. Sheep.
That’s a baaaaaaaad look.
Who are they following and for what audience are they reporting? At this point this is like covering a snow storm in Alaska: somewhat dramatic but not unexpected but not very relevant
That is a much-needed laugh this morning. OMFG. It's just too bad that there wasn't a cliff.
The "scrum" seems so old fashioned. I guess video clips that emerge from that process convey "immediacy" ("By my heroic efforts, I managed to get a statement the person didn't really want to give"). Everyone's so used to this, the print folks can't wait around for an actual conversation, so they are chasing the same sound bites as the video folks. It's one of the steps on the road from actual conversations to stupid or brutal Tweets. And of course, the politicians are also used to it. They either have their sound bite ready, or keep saying "not now."
I get frustrated when I bring up the Q and A with a coach after a game, and I can't hear the questions. When I searched, I was amazed to find out the media organizations take the view that they own copywright on their own reporters' questions, so they don't want everyone to be able to write them down. In what century is all this taking place?
And who says lemmings can't hold phones?
They are learning. First they take baby steps.
It looks like a co-ed, intramural Rugby scrum by a group of aging, misshapen college TAs.
Why anybody takes these people as serious is beyond me.
When I watched it a second time I thought I saw Steve McQueen.
Bob Knight may have said it best when asked about journalists: "All of us learn to write in the second grade. Most of us go on to greater things."
I've seen that before. A Mel Brooks movie?
Here's one...
Needs more jazz hands.
It's the group hug in the last episode of the Mary Tyler Moore show.
Jeffery Toobin and I found that performance... DAZZLING!
That's Danny DeVito, right?
That looks like a flock of red wing blackbirds at my feeder. One or two on the feeder eating and knocking off seeds for the hundreds gathered on the ground below.But if the lead bird gives the order the entire flock takes off and is gone in a second.
Who is the lead bird? I can't tell. They must know whom they obey. But it's a secret.
I love that movie All that jazz with Roy scheider. I saw it at the magic lantern theater in Isla Vista in the late 1970s absolutely stoned out of my gourd. I don't think it's the type of movie that one should see sober
are the corrupt D-media whores attempting to get it on with king Schitt?
It reminded me of the grotesque monster in Oats Studios - Volume 1 - Zygote, made from the body parts of its victims.
Bump up the playback speed a bit and you've got the Keystone Cops.
"It was as if the press in America, for all its vaunted independence, were a great colonial animal,an animal made up of countless clustered organisms responding to a single nervous system." -- Tom Wolfe, The Right Stuff
I can't quite remember the Fosse thing where a group shuffles across the stage like that.
Althouse,
Maybe you're thinking of the opening scene of "Ragtime" where the Immigrants, Wasps, and Blacks move around the stage in close clumps.
Am I a bad person for wondering what a sudden shout of "grenade!" would do for a mob like that?
Narr
Herd animals
A group of sheep can be a herd, flock or drove.
Am I a bad person for wondering what a sudden shout of "grenade!" would do for a mob like that?
How about a Taco Bell Bean Burrito Supreme fart?
Whole lotta shufflin' goin' on there.....
Looks more like a performance of Pilobolos.
“Maybe you're thinking of the opening scene of "Ragtime" where the Immigrants, Wasps, and Blacks move around the stage in close clumps.”
Thanks. Will look for it.
I did see the Broadway show.
Found it on YouTube and the wasn’t the kind of dancing I’m picturing. Lots of people on stage at once but not much choreography.
Fosse. Very funny.
The costumes in that clip looked more like Rocky Horror PIcture Show.
On youtube look for bob fosse "Sweet Charity". (I'd make a link but I can't do it on my phone.) There's some of that sort of group shuffling action in a number of the dance sequences, like "big spender", "the heavyweight", and "the big finish".
I saw lemmings; I saw schools of fish; it is an amazing video. Movement of many as one being is not what we usually see in humans even in a choreographed dance.
