This is so good, it feels scripted. Not saying it's scripted. Just saying it's so tightly worded and delivered.

Epic.

Churchillian.

…make sure your Game Boy is turned on? That’s not tight scripting. Compare with say, Hillary!’s debate answers, perhaps the most tightly scripted spontaneous answers from any politician ever

Curious George ayon kay ...

I would have gone with "...and have your jammies laid out." But yeah, epic.

rehajm ayon kay ...

Now Nah, I just increased his exposure- there, there’s some tight scripting. Nah. Classic…

Ralph L ayon kay ...

Sounds like Burchett watches Steve Inman's videos.

wild chicken ayon kay ...

Ah, s Steve Inman fan...

MadisonMan ayon kay ...

As the kids used to say. Burn.

MadisonMan ayon kay ...

...and as someone recently said There are cameras everywhere.

Iman ayon kay ...

School newspaper boy…

RCOCEAN II ayon kay ...

Yeah. Guy looks like snarky drama student who's late for Gym class.

RCOCEAN II ayon kay ...

When I go to the Gym, im more or less forced to see Fox news. I was suprised how much of their content is "owning the libs". And talking about how dumb whoopi Goldberg or some Lefty is.

Good for both of them ! I don't begrudge anybody that decides to take a stab a citizen journalism, whatever their bias. We need more of them because they represent the individual's view, not the view of the approved institutions. The thing not to forget is that deceptive appearances can be helpful - recalling Peter Falk's Columbo.

donald ayon kay ...

Watching a Columbia with smoldering Faye Dunaway (Hubba Hubba) right now! Fox does absolutely blow, but they still have about five reporters that are professionals unlike basically everybody else.

donald ayon kay ...

I know I wrote COLUMBO!

Yancey Ward ayon kay ...

Clearly, Burchett is a Steve Inman fan! If it was staged, you will know within a day who the soy boy is.

Peachy ayon kay ...

We bombed some pirates.

Not exactly "WAR!"

Curious George ayon kay ...

"The thing not to forget is that deceptive appearances can be helpful - recalling Peter Falk's Columbo."

That was a TV show.

Aggie ayon kay ...

"That was a TV show. ..."

Well.... yeah - that means a lot of people remember it, as an useful example. What does your comment mean? That appearances can never be deceiving, in a way that's helpful to finding out things? That one can't leverage an advantage from being deceptively harmless in appearance? Seems a little off-point.

Peachy ayon kay ...

nothing to says but - right on man. lolz.

Readers of this blog think that's going to leave a mark, but the Gameboy was discontinued in 2003. Is there a better insult to direct at someone who was a pre-teen during the Obama years?

Mr. D ayon kay ...

At least he didn't end up with a faceplant like the woman on the subway from yesterday. I'm thinking this dweeb, the subway woman and the actress who won't date white men should get a big ol' tent and start a new Chautauqua circuit so they can share their wisdom to the world as a package deal. They'll be a big hit at the Waushara County Fairgrounds, I would think.

Big Mike ayon kay ...

The dweeb would not know what a top secret war plan was if it jumped out of a card deck and pissed mustard all over his shoes.

Iman ayon kay ...

“Is there a better insult to direct at someone who was a pre-teen during the Obama years?”

Iman ayon kay ...

Yes… leave the Lego sex toys behind and date real, live people!

Big Mike ayon kay ...

The reason why Althouse feels that this exchange was scripted is that she cannot bring herself to believe that a Republican could be intelligent and quick-witted. It’s got to be phony because every non-STEM professor just knows that Republicans are stupid.

David53 ayon kay ...

When I first saw the video I thought it was dubbed. The “reporter” needs to practice how to react to situations like that, he just gave up.

David53 ayon kay ...

Burchett uses the same verbiage as Steve Inman on X.

If you click the link to Twitter, he says he sees the sky like twice a day. It sounds like he is always trying to find the representative and harass him so in that case probably he has plenty of time to think of sick burns. Probably not scripted.

Could be. But I'm betting that it has more to do with her not believing that the obscure Rep. Tim Burchett has a videographer following him around everywhere he goes.

Biff ayon kay ...

I don't think the interaction was scripted, but it does feel like Burchett has been walking around with that line locked and loaded for just such a situation. He probably has a few lines at the ready.

Leora ayon kay ...

If I were being followed around by a person recording me I would probably develop some sort of script.

FredSays ayon kay ...

Kill shot

Peachy ayon kay ...

If Kamala can memorize her lines - It's Ok to have a few zingers tucked away. Even if they are rehearsed.

If the link doesn't seem related, take a closer look at the Game Boy boy.

Clyde ayon kay ...

Hilarious! Burchett smoked him like a cheap cigar.

Stephanie A. Richer ayon kay ...

I know Tim. That's him, naturally. His wife loves him for keeping her laughing (and he is a good family man).

mikee ayon kay ...

Nobody has come back with a proper response for the young ambush reporter. I suggest he might have replied, "No, YOUR mother does that for me."
