***********************************************
Gregory: OMG Joe Biden rolled his
eyes during the debate

Gregory: Welcome Bob now give
me some spin

McDonnell: Obama has only created
millions of new jobs in Virginia
- he must be fired

Gregory: I’ve been reading a lot of
right-wing magazines

Granholm: how shocking

Gregory: and they all say Romney is winning

Granhom: we have the lowest
unemployment in four years,
consumer confidence is up, the
strong housing numbers
- we can’t go back Fluffy

Brokaw: Republicans think Joe
Biden was over-the-top

Gregory: that’s all you really
need to know

Brokaw: Obama will probably lose

Gregory: excellent

Brokaw: but Bruce Springsteen and
Bill Clinton are campaigning for Obama
- the Boss and the Big Dog could help

Castellanos: Mitt Romney shook the
etch-a-sketch and lied a lot which
has helped him very much

Gregory: that’s good news

Castellanos: Obama has no campaign
now that Romney is pretending
to be someone else

Gregory: Biden was so dismissive of young
Master Ryan I think he was on drugs

Reed: Biden is authentic and Romney
is a total phony

McDonnell: Biden said the middle class
has gotten buried for the past four years
and Biden has been in charge for the past for years

Gregory: Obama caused the recession?

McDonnell: we must pay off the debt!

Gregory: we have got to resolve the debt
issue by both sides in the next few weeks!

Brokaw: both sides have failed to make
the American people suffer enough

Gregory: good point

Brokaw: Obama must level with the
people about the need to inflict pain
on the middle class

Reed: criminy Romney has said he will
not raise taxes at all

Gregory: yes he will - just only on poor people

Castellanos: all we have to do is cut
taxes for rich people and everything
will be fine

Reed: you’re crazy

Brokaw: rich people really want to pay
more taxes but they justifiably insist on
poor people suffering first

Gregory: rich people are pure
non-ideological saints

Brokaw: they are so wonderful

Gregory: Biden said they didn’t know
the Libya embassy wanted more security

Granholm: the one in Tripoli but not
the one in Benghazi

McDonnell: we should not politicize
such attacks but I will just say that
Obama has weakened America and
will destroy our military which also
creates jobs in Virginia

Gregory: that is a perfect answer

Brokaw: how could Obama not know
that al-qaeda was going to attack
our consulates?

Castellanos: we need the world to
perceive that a President is strong -
the world looks at Obama sees weakness
which is why al-qaeda attacked a
consulate in Libya

Reed: George Bush a weak President
who invited an attack in 2001 and
Barack Obama killed Osama bin Laden

Gregory: The Big Dog was happy to
Ol’ Moderate Mitt

Clinton: where has this fake moderate been?

Gregory: is Romney the biggest
flip-flopper in history?

McDonnell: no because energy prices
have doubled under Obama

Gregory: that isn’t true

McDonnell: look Romney is a competent
white guy - just elect him already!

Granholm: Romney is a Trojan horse -
with little tiny necon soldiers inside him

Castellanos: Romney is essentially
a moderate who doesn’t drink caffeine
- how awesome is that

Reed: Romney is fleeing the right-wing
but he still believes cutting taxes
for the rich solves all problems

Brokaw: the debates have
reenergized the country

Greg: that is so true if you live
in the Beltway Zone

Brokaw: the challenge for the debates
will be for Obama to stop being so
terrible and Romney to point out
how Obama is terrible

Gregory: nice

Brokaw: the American people want
tough truth telling about how we
must cut public pensions

Gregory: this next debate is a town hall
format where random idiots get to ask
the President what kind of underwear they like

Castellanos: finally a substantive debate

Brokaw: Romney must find a connect
with human beings and Barack Obama
must finally put out a detailed plan

Gregory: like his year-old American Jobs Act?

Brokaw: harrumph

[ break ]

Gregory: Stephen welcome to Meet The Press

Colbert: I would love to meet the press -
where are they and why do they suck?

Gregory: who is winning this race?

Colbert: Mitt Romney is rockin’

Gregory: what does the real Colbert think?

Colbert: Romney was a shambles and
now seems to have his shit together

Gregory: what do your guests think of you?

Colbert: I actively play an idiot but
sometimes they forget like Bob Kerry
who stormed off stage because I was so stupid

Gregory: college courses us your show
to teach satire

Colbert: am I that brilliant oh dear

Gregory: you are a satirist but you
also use humor make a serious point

Colbert: that’s what satire is Fluffy

Gregory: if you say so

Colbert: I am fascinated by public issues
and I admire real newsmen and
also people like you

Gregory: you testified on Capitol Hill

Colbert: yes but I would only
do it in character

Greg: why did you do that

Colbert: to expose Congress as
a very silly place

Gregory: did they really need you to do that

Colbert: well anyway it was fun

Gregory: you made your own Super PAC

Colbert: I made a Super PAC by
accident to spoof the lack of rules
in political fundraising

Gregory: like me you cover the news

Colbert: Jon Stewart deconstructs
the news and I reconstruct the news

Greg: to spoof the absurdity of politics

Colbert: there is so little
trustworthy in the news

Gregory: why do young people
trust you to get the news instead of me

Colbert: you have to ask Fluffy

Gregory: pretend I'm not very bright

Colbert: I'll do my best

Gregory: thanks

Colbert: comedy makes you stop and
listen and think for a minute

Gregory: you wrote a book

Colbert: I wanted to write about how America
is the greatest nation of all time and
also we’re doomed

Gregory: why did you write another book

Colbert: why did the Bible need
another testament?

Gregory: does this election matter

Colbert: it’s hard to say Romney
seems sincere as a moderate and
also seems sincere a conservativehttp://

Gregory: that is true

Gregory: panel what lesson should politicians
take from Stephen Colbert

Reed: politicians and the media need to learn
to stop being such phonies

Brokaw: the lesson is both sides
are total hypocrites

McDonnell: Colbert is right -
we must elect Mitt Romney!

Gregory: who wins this election?

McDonnell: whoever can spend government
money to bring jobs to Virginia and
lower gas prices

Granholm: who do you trust to fight to
for the middle class - the guy with a
single mother or the guy with a dancing
horse and a Swiss bank account who’s
been rich and privileged his whole life

Gregory: and that’s another
episode of Meet The Press
