On Harvard Time Interviews Great American Hero
April 6, 2008 by Frances Martel
We here at RedIvy can’t lie- we have a bit of a soft spot for Harvard’s comedy news TV show On Harvard Time (both myself and new editor-in-chief Luis Martinez are affiliated with the show enough to have embarrassing pictures of ourselves on their website. It has many things that comedy news shows elsewhere (yes, Daily Show, I’m looking at you) lack, like funny anchors and an absence of true political bias or agendas. Proof of this is all over their new interview with Karl Rove (that, in the interest of full exposure, I was fortunate enough to be at- and was instantly smitten), where host Derek Flanzraich does a great job of simply not being a douche (Jon Stewart, please take notes).
I guess this is the part where I opine on Jon Stewart.
Jon Stewart is nothing but a party hack for the Dems, an infiltrated agent that is not funny and should not be relevant. He is the sole cause of the cancellation of the only good show to ever air on CNN and not feature Anderson Cooper- Crossfire- and the culprit behind the demise of Tucker Carlson’s career. For those of you who live under a rock, Tucker Carlson is the straightest thinking, most lucid and correct American pundit on the airwaves. He’s a self-respecting moderate libertarian that believes in all those things Jon Stewart spends his days hating on, like first amendment rights and small government. Thanks to Jon Stewart, we now have thoroughly insipid “objective” news analysts like Wolf Blitzer (zzzzzz…) and Dan Abrams- who is so desperate to make himself appear to have a personality that he adds little comic book cartoon graphics to his TV regularly. Thanks Jon Stewart, for singlehandedly destroying American Media.
Anyway, back to the topic at hand. Former Deputy Chief of Staff and sometime Fox News correspondent Karl Rove, the amazing political mastermind behind the past two Bush victories and best rapper to ever inhabit the White House, somehow ended up in a totes legit interview involving leis and Rorschach tests and condemnations to Gitmo. It is wonderful to see people like Rove, who so many on the left blindly label “evil” and stigmatize for being horrible in a typically leftist but still offensive manner, prove that they are not only nice people, but have great senses of humor, too.
