Chappelle: ‘I’ll take Tony Snow’s job.’
At the White House this morning, CNN correspondent Ed Henry “noticed a small group of Secret Service officers gathered around a man with a black backpack.” As he moved closer to the scene, Henry realized who was causing all the commotion, Dave Chappelle:
Since Chappelle made international headlines in 2005 by essentially disappearing for awhile under strange circumstances — and walking away from a $50 million deal to continue his show on Comedy Central — I asked what he’s doing next.
“I want your job,” he said, explaining that it’s fun to watch reporters go back-and-forth with White House Press Secretary Tony Snow.
“Or maybe I’ll take Tony Snow’s job,” Chappelle smiled. “I think that’s a cool job.”
Neither Tony nor I get $50 million. But we both have great jobs — plus you never know who you’ll run into next around here.

At least it might make watching the press conference tolerable. Although I don’t know whom would make me laugh more.
July 19th, 2007 at 5:41 pmWhat a great job that would be. You don’t need any qualifications as a journalist and you get to make shit up and piss people off. What’s not to like?
July 19th, 2007 at 5:42 pmWalked away from $50 million?! What a fool.
July 19th, 2007 at 5:42 pmWith the Dem congress dropping to 14% approval, Chapelle should take Pelosi’s job.
July 19th, 2007 at 5:43 pmAs a troll I’d love that job.
July 19th, 2007 at 5:43 pmChappelle is a total has-been. He passed up a 50 million dollar deal and a wildly successful show. He left the country WITHOUT TELLING HIS OWN WIFE. How messed up is that?
July 19th, 2007 at 5:43 pmStephen Cobert is already ticked that Tony got the job over him, watch yer step Dave =)
July 19th, 2007 at 5:43 pmYou probably have to pee in a cup to get the job, Dave. Gonna be tricky.

exactly! If we’re going to engage in speculative gossip about a celebrity, why don’t we just move on to Paris Hilton?
July 19th, 2007 at 5:49 pmAt least Chapelle knows who Tony Snow is. I have to give him credit for that.
Almost all liberals are so ingorant of current events that if shown a pic of Dick Cheney they think it’s Phil Donahue.
July 19th, 2007 at 5:49 pmWITHOUT TELLING HIS OWN WIFE. How messed up is that?
Uh? Why? You’ve got to respect a guy for that. Just going and leaving everything like a free man he is.
July 19th, 2007 at 5:49 pmAs thousands of people go to bed hungry each night the issue of global poverty is more serious than ever and it can be changed, there are strategies in place to end global poverty. The United States agreed to support the UN’s Millennium Development Goals, a plan to end global poverty by 2015, however according to the Borgen Project the funding to support the end of malnutrition and starvation is under funded by $19 billion annually. Congress needs to become aware of these important issues and make a change.
July 19th, 2007 at 5:50 pm“He left the country WITHOUT TELLING HIS OWN WIFE. How messed up is that?”
Bill Clinton does it all the time.
If fact, Clinton is only spends the night with his wife on several occasions per month.
July 19th, 2007 at 5:52 pmWhy not?
July 19th, 2007 at 5:52 pmThe White House Press Briefing has become little more than
(wayyyyyyyy) off Broadway theater.
It could have a good run, we went from
mild mumbling bumbling stumbling Scotty (Sweathog) McClellan,
to sick schtick snappy sarcastic Tony (Snarky) Snow….
Chapelle could take it to the top…
Paris? Really? Where? Over there by the pony! Yay! I’m so friggin content right this minute I could sit here on my couch until Oprah’s over.
July 19th, 2007 at 5:52 pm#10. Are you saying that Jim is Mr. President? That’s wrong!
WROoooooOOOOoooOOOOoooOOOOooooOOong!!!!!!!!!
July 19th, 2007 at 5:54 pmI’ve long thought that, considering how low the press has been willing to grovel, it would be great to just hire a character like some of Chappelle’s crazy characters. Hell, hire a crack whore and call her your ‘press secretary.’
July 19th, 2007 at 5:55 pm.
Just again for kicks:
“while Bush’s job approval rating has stabilized, opinion of the work Congress is doing continues to plummet. The Zogby poll shows just 14% give Congress positive marks, while 83% give it negative marks.â€

July 19th, 2007 at 6:01 pmTroll Killah, the Dem congress only has half the approval rating of Pres. Bush. Isn’t that wild?
July 19th, 2007 at 6:02 pmMan, this “Jim” Troll Name just isn’t even trying, is he?
I mean, to look THIS lame in contrast to Mr Pee and C**T V1 (what a C**T) is got to be embarrassing. maybe all their troll drill sargeants were appinted to district judgeships or obscure cabinet posts by Bush or something, but they’re just not turning out talent at all.
I’d like to tell Troll Name Jim that “he can do it!” but I’m pretty sure he can’t.
July 19th, 2007 at 6:02 pmJust whoring through…
July 19th, 2007 at 6:04 pmJim, you would bag your mom if she’d let you. In fact that’s who you picture when you spank it in the bathroom.
July 19th, 2007 at 6:05 pmJimmy is living proof that trolls live on a diet smag and dingleberries. A sycophantic Bush apologist who will support Bush, his God, until the bitter end.
Give it up Jimmy, get a life and some self respect. You are like the pimple faced high school kid who follows the gym teacher around, hoping you’ll be noticed.
Your personal saviour Bush doesn’t care about you, he just needs to keep you stupid enough to vote R.
Pretty easy job, that one.
July 19th, 2007 at 6:05 pmbobwurst, you’re projecting again.
July 19th, 2007 at 6:05 pmThat Chappele always edging in on other comedians territories. Somehow I don’t think that Chappelle could pull off the “tar baby” joke as well as Snow did. Or how about that “It’s a number” sketch…..what a classic.
July 19th, 2007 at 6:06 pm“A sycophantic Bush apologist who will support Bush, his God, until the bitter end.”
Um, look in the mirror. You are a 14%er. One of the 14% who still approves of the Dem congress.

July 19th, 2007 at 6:07 pmTheir ratings are due to a frustrated public. The result of Repuke filibustering and stonewalling on an Iraq withdrawal bill. His ratings are his alone, at least Congress can say their low ratings are due to the RE-Pug-Licans.
Jim, the only thing tha’s projecing is your pants, when you think about mommy.

July 19th, 2007 at 6:08 pmthe reason that the dems poll numbers are down is because they haven’t drawn and quartered your dear leader, the low poll numbers is in no way a reflection of support for the chickenhawk pres.
#11; Almost all liberals are so ingorant of current events that if shown a pic of Dick Cheney they think it’s Phil Donahue.
Not true!
Dick Cheney’s the lying dictator who’s pug graces my my dartboard. Phil Donahue is a man who got fired for questioning the wisdom of the Iraq War… at a time when Cheney was telling us that the war would last a few weeks, Iraqi oil revenues would pay for the war, and a tide of Democracy would sweep through the Middle East.
July 19th, 2007 at 6:09 pm“His ratings are his alone, at least Congress can say their low ratings are due to the RE-Pug-Licans.”
You can’t blame this on the GOP. The Dem congress has acomplished nothing since they took office. They have failed at governing. Time to turn over the keys.
July 19th, 2007 at 6:09 pmhey jimmypres,
go move your trike before daddy runs it over in the driveway.
July 19th, 2007 at 6:10 pm“Phil Donahue is a man who got fired for questioning the wisdom of the Iraq War…”

Righttttt….that’s the most uniformed segment of the population is Faux News viewers. The majority of those drooling morons think that Saddam was responsible for 9-11.
July 19th, 2007 at 6:12 pmHi Mr. President! Remember when you said Saudis aren’t Muslims? Then cited a ftawa from OBL, posted on a PBS site, to support your butt-headed argument?
Hahahah! That was a good one!
What a dumb blowhard you are.
July 19th, 2007 at 6:13 pm“Well, they have wasted time and money…”
The Dems did in 6 months what it took the GOP to do in 12 years. Impeach Pelosi and Reid.

The latest polls show that Americans want to see how the surge is going in September before making a decision.
July 19th, 2007 at 6:16 pmThe Dems did in 6 months what the GOP wouldn’t do in a thousand years: hold the Bush White House’s lies up to piublic scrutiny. Impeach Cheney and Bush.

Look where it has gotten them. Their bullshit hearings and speeches have gotten them a 14% approval rating.
July 19th, 2007 at 6:19 pmHey! Mr. President and Jim aren’t the same troll! That would be the stupidest and most pathtic trick in the book. I mean, that would be sad to have a conversation with yourself to act as if someone agreed with you.
And Jim, uh…I mean Mr. Presi…or….uh Jim is alot smarter than that?
July 19th, 2007 at 6:20 pmThe latest polls show that Americans want to see how the surge is going in September before making a decision.
Dream on, ya delusional gasbag:
“In the poll, which was carried out Friday through Sunday, 30 percent of respondents said they favor the war in Iraq; 41 percent said they oppose it because they think the 2003 decision to go to war was a mistake; 26 percent said they oppose it because they think it has been mismanaged; and 3 percent said they had no opinion. ”

And that takes some doing on a day like today. The trolls are in full meltdown mode — again. They don’t have two thoughts to rub together and they can’t even get out their moronic talking points without fumbling them and sounding stupid.
Well, I guess that last part is unavoidable for them.
July 19th, 2007 at 6:22 pmNo Jimmy, you ignorant c*nt, I don’t support the Congress. I would like to see them stop Bush’s War in any way possible and would like to see them take a hard stance against these evil bastards.
I think the 14% who support Congress are a subset of the 25%ers who still blow Bush. Because the Congress is not busting his balls, they are giving him cover.
Bush is my God. Bush is my saviour. I will praise Bush and put no other God before Him. Right Jimmy?

Dave Chappelle put his integrity over MONEY. Something you would’nt know anything about! You call Dave a “has-been”, well I guess you’re jealous because you are a “never-was”. Moron!

I could just see him doing Tony Snow’s Job:
Reporter: Mr. Chappelle, is it the opinion of this administration that these ‘enemy’ combatants’ deserve the death penalty?

It highlights that if Bush were black, people would have rightly and obviously rejected his “reasons” for going to war with Iraq!

Now that would be scary. Instead of the flat-out deer-in-the-headlights lies of Tony Snow, Miller would actually back up the Administration’s bullshit with 18th century literary allusions.
July 20th, 2007 at 6:03 amPeople, people!
All of you who say Dave is an idiot for walking away are STUPID. I mean it you are really stupid and have small minds. Don’t post here anymore. You need to get out from in front of your computer in your little room and see what is really going on out in the world. You people don’t know shit.
July 20th, 2007 at 9:50 amTo those that think the poor poll numbers for congress are an indication of public dissatisfaction with the democratic party are sadly mistaken. The poor poll numbers indicate a strong dissatisfaction for republican stonewalling in congress.
July 20th, 2007 at 12:46 pmThose like Jim who want to score partisan points off polling about a narrowly divided Congress might want to try asking the questions that would actually make their point.
First, ask whether the respondent is a Democrat, Republican or independent. Then ask,
1) “Do you approve or disapprove of the work done by Congressional Democrats since January 2007?”
2) “Do you approve or disapprove of the work done by Congressional Republican since January 2007?”
Otherwise, we don’t know what the poll represents. Republicans responding the poll may well be pissed off at their leadership for not getting anything done to stem illegal immigration, while Democrats responding to the poll may well be pissed off at their leadership for not getting anything done to get our troops out of Iraq. Or maybe Republican respondents are pissed at the Democrats’ defiance of the president, and Democratic respondents are pissed at the Republicans’ stonewalling of Democratic efforts.
So until you get me the results of THAT poll, Jim, you are contributing nothing and I would urge readers of this blog to ignore your obscene, irrelevant remarks.
(In contrast, polls about how pepole feel about the president are much easier, because the president can be of only one party — indeed, of only one ideology within that party.)
July 20th, 2007 at 4:32 pm1) three “knowledge questions”? LOL
2) “the political magazines”, Oh, ok. Those.
3) “news magazines”. Right, which ones again?
4) “online news sources”. Ahh. Check.
So that would make the most educated and erudite audiences, ermmm EVERYONE?
What absolute fabricated nonsense.
