CNN’s Anderson Cooper absolutely saw it coming. When his colleague Wolf Blitzer unveiled the latest silly technical wizardry during the network’s coverage of the Iowa caucuses on Tuesday night — CGI blobs representing Iowa voters — Cooper was not impressed. He called the CGI people “Weebles” because of their resemblance to the children’s toys, and told Blitzer at the end of the segment, “If you miss any of this you can see it later on The Daily Show With Jon Stewart when he ruthlessly mocks you.” And that’s exactly what Stewart did last night, calling the CGI models “cybernetic, multi-colored, featureless dildo people.” Here is The Daily Show video as well as the CNN CGI segment:
TV Editor Nellie Andreeva - tip her here.


Stewart called them “…“cybernetic, multi-colored, featureless dildo people.”
Pot, meet kettle.
That was meant to be funny right?
Deadline, meet unfunny comment.
Those are real people! They work as fact checkers at CNN. I would’ve said Fox News, but they don’t use them (facts that is).
The man is a national treasure.
And roughly only 5% of Iowans bothered to show up to vote yet we endured thousands of hours of national coverage of this non-event. How many great news stories like N. Korea or Congress’ latest messes didn’t get covered adequately for this shit pageant?
They needed a diversion from the pullout in Iraqnam, because in an election year the corporate media doesn’t dare show us the helicopters flying off the rooftops of Baghdad like they did in Saigon 35 years ago. Also from CorzineGate, where over a billion dollars of customer money went missing and unaccounted for, raising the question of how many other Wall Street firms are using customer accounts to cover trading losses. Move along, folks, nothing to see here.
Stewart really disappointed with his weak segment on the horrific bill signed into law over New Year’s weekend. Pulling out the “Gitmo” puppet was a way of pulling the punch, spending time on the silly nature of the evil law and avoiding real commentary.
Stewart is highly overrated. Shark – jumped.
