Look, it’s one of your newest pretend boyfriends, Shepard Smith of Fox News, being a Maverick and unloading on comedian Nick Di Paolo for suggesting that the Liberal media was responsible for Obama’s victory. Shep you dirty traitor! More importantly: what the hell is this? They are sitting at a beer pong table in the A/V closet along with some kind of old bagpiper and a house elf in a red sweater. There is an Xbox on the shelf behind Shep Smith. [Salon]
If I was Shep’s neurologist, I’d be concerned about a possible tumor.
Shep Smith defending liberals:
Last sign of the apocalypse.
Looks like the bar scene in Star Wars.
I think Nick DiPaolo means “Jews” when he says “Liberal Mainstream Media”. His “comedy” sucks anyhow.
Wow. That Nick Di Paolo is a real tool.
Where is the real Shep Smith?
Also, why is Nick Di Paulo on a “serious” (hey, serious for Faux) Faux Newz show? I’ve seen the guy’s rants on that lousy show that was on after The Daily Show pre Colbert era. He’s about as insightful as Ann Coulter’s peen.
That is….bizarre.
I am almost attracted to Shep Smith. This is not good.
Well, Shep, tell us how you really feel!
Meanwhile, Captain McAllister in the background was pretty silent throughout, as was Red Vest Guy. What a weird collection of characters.
Looks like someone stuck a finger in the air and sensed the winds of change. Fox news is fair and balanced with a liberal agenda; it has always been fair and balanced with a liberal agenda.
WadISay:
Win.
The hell? All they’re missing are a dwarf and a few slutty girls and I think they could reenact every key scene from “Twin Peaks.”
i guess pointing out the obvious - that you can’t really argue for the existence of a liberal mainstream media WHILE ON FOX - would have been, i don’t know, too obvious?
also too, that “pretend boyfriend” term makes me laugh every time. pretend boyfriend keith gave me an orgasm with that plea on behalf of the gays and the love the other night.
Talk about fielding your softballs, Shep. It’s not much of a contest when your opponent’s primary source of income is from Opie & Anthony.
Next up, Laurie Dhue’s no holds barred interview with Adam Carolla.
Wow, I’m starting to think we’ve found the one honest man at Fox. Who hired Shep Smith anyway? I suspect whoever he is won’t be getting a bonus this Christmas.
Sorry, Shep, tank’s full already.
“The mainstream media has been liberal since its inception.”
And here I thought it was conceived as a way to keep the Black man down, but then strayed from those noble roots.
By the way, Shep Smith has always been kinda cool.
I can’t handle Shep Smith anymore. I might have to start stalking him at his Greenwich village flat, and when he comes out I will yell at him “WHAT IS THE FREQUENCY KENNETH” but instead of punching him I will give him a Starbucks gift certificate.
Is the the Shep that laughed at Saddam just hours before his execution, saying “Do you think he’s ready to go meet the virgins?”
Where is the new faux-character coming from?
Looks a little bit like that Virgin Mobile phone-bank holiday commercial with the Gay Elf and the two rabbis.
Throw in a monitor lizard and that was a dream I had two nights ago.
The screen grab is ultra-perfect. Smith looks like he is about to jam a pen into Di Paulo’s throat.
What the shit is that? I kept waiting for a waitress to bring out an order of Jalapeno Poppers with extra ranch.
The only message I heard was Nick di Paolo needs years and years of liberal pounding. To the skull and kidneys.

I’m confused about this Shep Smith character. Is he really on Fox? Who planted him there? WHAT IS HAPPENING?!!!?
This makes me want to re-watch the Nader clip twice.
SayItWithWookies: WIN
Shep is the Manchurian journalist. Once he gets invited to the Obama white house, Angela Lansbury will call him up and activate his FoxNews(tm) programming.
I think Shep saw the light right around Katrina time.
In fact, there are quite a few reporters on that network who are solid.
The scary ones are the blond anchors…Megyn Kelly and Gretchen Carlson. They can not deliver the news straight…there’s always a comment or twist of a phrase that spins the story one direction. Kelly is unhinged and screamy in her righteous indignation at times…and Carlson just reminds me of Dana Carvey’s Church Lady…a fountain of disapproval. She is a fun-free zone.
(hannity and o’reilly aren’t worth commenting on…they aren’t pretending to be anything other than what they are.)
Nick Di Paolo = bag of hammers.
Shep has a crush on Hopey.
Also from Shep: Where are all these SPIDERS coming from? Someone get these damn spiders off of me! My Dad lets me drive slow on the driveway every Saturday.
hockeymom: Megyn is the Devil.
NBC is as liberal as GE. It all makes sense now.
>>Nick Di Paolo = bag of dicks
Fixed.
ServiceJervixJuice: The hammers would be funnier, though.
I still think his eyebrows are scary.
Shep Smith is good.
WadISay: Or what Republican post-election group therapy would sound like.
I don’t know about the rest of them but that bagpipes old guy is fucking drunk.
hockeymom: And throw in Greta “I literally talk out of the side of my mouth” Susteren & you got the blond axis of evil going over there. I used to enjoy it when Greta yakked on about Natalie Holloway or the missing chick dujour, but since Hillz lost, she’s a true bitter. Of course, I’ve seen a picture of her fat, ugly husband & if he flopped on me, I’d be bitter and angry, too.
I like how Dick Morris immediately follows any comment with some inane comment of his own which sort-of makes him (Dick) look right about something.
Notice how Shep defends the MSM saying, “We”
In the corporate Faux mind, having Shep in the menagerie somehow validates their news organization as mainstream……which the rest of their fucking pigs snort at the other 23 hrs of the day.
No. It doesn’t make sense but it is what it is
Here they are: the Twin Peaks of TV commercials:

Pounding. Pounding. Yeeahs and yeeahs of pounding.
Something tells me that dude has no relation to the concept of “years and years of pounding.”
Serolf Divad: Just went in my favorites folder.
Who’s the silent bearded dude in the beret who just sits there and occasionally sips water (or possibly vodka) from a plastic bottle? MY NEW HERO, THAT’S WHO!
Josh Fruhlinger: Obie-Wan-MacNobie
Rupert Murdock: in the tank, sort of.
WadISay: Thanks, now I have the SW cantina music stuck in my head.
honore de ballsack: EarBucket: Mr Blifil: Awesome. You all beat me to it, but awesome.
I actually remember seeing a bit by this guy once A LONG TIME AGO and finding it funny. But you would think that this guy, as a “successful comedian” would have gotten out of Bahsten enough over the years for that accent to soften just a tad.
Another good quote from this guy in response to “How did GWB get elected?”: “I don’t know…”
Congratulations on your backbone Shep. But don’t pretend that the newsmedia reflects what’s going on in the culture. If that were true Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers would have won in 08. It’s a point right now where I think we should screw objectivity, admit bias and move forward…
Also, Nick Di Paolo is a greasy homophobe who probably bought all the Obama rumors: http://tinyurl.com/6jb7l6
Ummm…Is it me, or is Shep Smith getting sexier?
Serolf Divad: Awwwwwsummm! And how is curvejob different from a blowjob? Is this waht Sarah meant by “It’s all about job creation?”
blader: Blader: I’m glad someone else caught that.
The idea that Faux is “main stream media” has to be the Bizarre Thought of the Day.
V572625694: No, it’s “what” Sarah meant, moran.
Watch the guy to Shep’s left jack off his thumb for the first 15 seconds of this clip, that’s the only part of this video worth watching
That was Shep’s audition tape for MSNBC.
Can someone please explain to me WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON in the background. Who are those people? What are they drinking? This is a news show?
the hell? anyway, shep smith turns me on.
Ok, I’m completely discombobulated now. The simple existence of that setting is driving me off the bend…
psychedelicSludge: Thank you, thank you.
I’m assuming that with the changing demographics, Shep’s been labled the “token” and given scripted dissentions.
Nick Di Paolo is a conservative now? Who stole his humor and rammed that rightwing 4×4 up his ass (ala Dennis Miller)?
That Di Paolo guy is HILARIOUS
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcL7EAdY0yI
Wow. Did Shep Smith get a bad x-ray or doctor’s report? The man has come to Jesus.
lawchic: In a “gay, wears far too much make-up” sort of way, I suppose.
Shep Smith = Scott Tracy. And who’s cooler than THAT?
http://www.thunderbirdfigures.com/scotttracy.htm
Shep, you are the best! So prissy, yet compelling strong at the same time. You are my hero. How can I see you everyday (I do not get Fox News which normally I am thankful of). Do you have a webcam?
“Pounding. Pounding. Yeeahs and yeeahs of pounding.”
This refrain will never stop. In my head.
But who is that Scottish man?
Nick Di Paolo is the thinking conservative’s Larry The Cable Guy.
There you have it folks! Years and years of pounding is the new FIVE AND A HALF YEARS! Say it proudly before its replaces by something even more ignorant!
Shep has a point about the MSM reflecting public sentiment, but Guido the Goober there has a point about the MSM not being entirely careful to investigate all the facts. Just look at the lead-up to the Iraq war.
Oh, I’m sorry, that was snark-free. Uh. I’m afraid, Shep, that there is no more room in my spank bank for you at the moment. Maddow and Colbert are fighting it out for the top spot in my mental masturbation library, and Olbermann refuses to leave, despite all the therapy I’ve been getting. Plus… dude, Shep has some crazy motherfucking eyebrows.
Who the fuck are these people? This looks like a meeting of Fox & Superfriends.
Most of what Nick DiPaulo tries to pass off as humor involves hateful ranting about successful women, and then the expressed hope that said women find lumps under their arms. So I guess for Nick, this was an improvement.
Why is Bill from Left 4 Dead there?
http://ve3dmedia.ign.com/images/02/69/26912_Left4Dead-16_normal.jpg (on the right)
Wow Nick Di Palo is a douche! WHY exactly is he on the panel anyway? I think his last gig was that crank caller show with the muppets. I thought the righties hate it when “celebs” share their political views??
Willie the groundskeeper, Mr. Tumnas from Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, a poor Bill Clinton impersonator, and (in the background) Phoebe Cates from 1989 star in a remake of “Night of the Comet”. In this scene, our gang hangs out and drinks Everclear from waterbottles while Tim Curry from Clue argues with some D-Noz. This is the scene where they visit the radio station while radiation fueled zombies roam the streets below.
Soon, Mr. Tumnas and Phoebe will sneak off and “neck”.
There, fixed it for ya.
OH my fucking god. Please let the “Strategy Room” be a regular show where Shep Smith talks to people around a table while a quite bearded Scotsman sits next to him and is never referred to. This is cool.
What’s the big deal? Name one responsible newsman who’d interview a jerk-off comedian unaccompanied by a bagpiper and an imp? Can’t do it, can you?
The Scotsman has to drink whenever someone says “in the tank” or mentions Bill Ayers. The sweater vest guy has drawn “mainstream media” and Saul Alinsky. A drinking game of some kind is the only way for most people to get through a FOX News talking head show (note how Sweater Vest also voluntarily or mistakenly drinks when Shep says “media”), even when you’re on it.
Seriously, this is what’s happening. At around 1:08, Douchey McToughguy says “media” and then corrects that to “mainstream media”. The Scotsman, clearly not drunk enough to continue to listen to Nick DiPaolo, takes a second or two to decide “Och, feck it, I’ll drrrink to that one too”.
Sweater Vest misses that one, or maybe he figures he should skip it to cancel out his error from before.
Shep doesn’t drink on camera because he is a professional (he’s is, however, riding the vike train). Dick Morris has replaced alcohol with internet porn; he’s actually typing “wet hot teens” into the search bar *while* he’s talking to Nick DiPaolo.
Nick DiPaolo does not need to drink because of his brain injury.
problemwithcaring:
When exactly was the inception of the mainstream media?
was it the known anti-Orangite [i]Publick Occurrences Both Forreign and Domestick[/i]?
lawnchair reactionary:
Hows about Corrant out of Italy, Germany, etc.…or Acta Diurna?
Serolf Divad: Until Wonkette started covering him, I seriously only knew of him as the “j-lo blow job” guy. Since I never actually watched his show outside of Youtube, I’m just going to pretend he went straight from horny idiot to tank-dweller without any conservative hackery in between. Shep ‘16!
Shep Smith is confusing me D:
I always enjoyed this classic Shep moment entitled: “This is the fire warden”
