[Doing a story about the audience of a Republican Primary Candidate debate booing a gay soldier serving in Iraq.]
That was a big room full of Republican primary voters booing an American combat soldier who, as he was speaking, was in combat. The audience members who were booing were in Orlando. Soon, they'll surely be in Hell, though not soon enough. Not everyone was booing. There were people in the audience who heard Captain Hill say that when he was deployed to Iraq, he was worried that if his sexuality was discovered, they might not let him go. As opposed to most of us who, if told we were being deployed to Iraq, would go Corporal Klinger faster than you can pull on a yellow taffeta picnic dress. I'm sure there were even some people in the building who stood up for Captain Hill. People who had the simple strength of character to turn to the fraction of a human in the seat next to them and say "How many different kinds of disgusting do you have to be to boo a man who volunteered to fight and die for you?" I'm sure those people were there. I'm sure there were many of them. But, unfortunately, none of them were on the stage. Not one of these would-be Commanders in Chief took a moment to stand with a line officer. They let him stand alone. Soldiers never do that. Leaders never do that. Witless bullies and hapless punks do it all the time. The only President on the stage last night was Stephen Hill. Godspeed, Captain Hill, and come home soon. A grateful nation is waiting to say thank you.
I'm not allowed to make that suggestion on television.
Make it anytime you want. We're protected.
The tape, baby, the tape. We're like made men. We're like Joe Pesci in "Goodfellas."
Before he got shot, he wasn't a made man.
We're like James Caan in "The Godfather."
Also shot. Many, many times.
Two guys who have a tape of their boss admitting to phone hacking.
How do these people boo a soldier? How do the candidates say nothing? And how are you a member of this party?
I'm changing it from within.
Like Pacino in "Scarface."
Have you ever seen any of these movies?

The message said--
You don't have to say what it said.
NHNina Howard
It said, "Hey, Mac, it's me. Look, I'm not just saying this because I'm high. I've never stopped loving you. You were spectacular tonight." Then there's a pause and you say, "Can you believe we got Obama?"
I tell her exactly what happened...
(stretched out and kind of singsong) Noohoohoo.
To her God given humanity.
God didn't give her humanity. That's why she's a gossip columnist.
God gave us all humanity.
Let's look at the tape of people boo-ing a guy while he was in the middle of saving their lives.
I have no explanation for that.
The blog isn’t accomplishing what it should. And even though I can’t tell you specifically what to change, I want a complete overhaul.
I see, you’re doing a topical satire of OWS.
Well, I’m not willing to say exactly what I’m doing, because I don’t want it corrupted by the media.
Hey, how was your weekend?
It was good. It was good and then I saw Titanic for the first time.
You'd never seen it before?
You know how I am about sad movies and the title suggested it wasn't gonna end well. But I still didn't see it coming. Mac, what is more important than the people you-- Kodak is dropping like a sack of flour. I'll never let go, Kodak. I'll never let go.
[Don, upon discovering a joke he made with a Republican about a potential Solicitor-General applicant has been written up by the conservative website WorldNetDaily, and has phoned David Munch, the Senior Editor of WND to persuade him to run a retraction, while Sloan Sabbith listens in]
I didn't think there was any way it could be taken seriously.
DDavid
Yeah, I can see that, but the thing is that we got it from multiple sources.
David, come on. You gotta take it down and run a retraction.
DDavid
I appreciate you clarifying your role, but like I said, you weren't the only one...
I was the only source, come on now.
DDavid
I don't think I appreciate being woken up and called a liar.
[referring to David's British accent] It's 8.45. Where do you live.
DDavid
Let's say goodnight, Don.
My friend, I get that this story is pushing traffic...
... But Weingarten didn't do anything except become a lawyer, so...
DDavid
[irritably] I'll tell you for the third time. We have multiple sources telling us...
... That he spoke to the Righteous Daughters of Jihadi Excellence.
DDavid
It turns out your joke was right on the money.
[Don looks at Sloan in disbelief and then explodes into the phone]
I MADE UP THE FUCKING NAME, DAVID! THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS THE RIGHTEOUS DAUGHTERS OF THE - WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU!? [pauses to calm down] Did you search it?
DDavid
I just did. There are seventeen entries.
That's because of your story, fat-ass!
DDavid
Mr. Keefer, I think you're extremely - !
[Sloan hangs up the phone for Don]
Listen to me, I'd like dinner to last 10 to 15 minutes.
You don't like to linger.
I'm doing my lingering somewhere else tonight, so we're not ordering anything that takes a long time to prepare. We're not ordering anything well-done. We're not ordering anything cooked. It's okay with me if we don't order anything.
It's not going to be okay with the restaurant.
Screw the restaurant, Neal. The restaurant hasn't not seen his girlfriend in a month. The restaurant's girlfriend isn't wearing cocktail attire.
