Darrell Hammond: My Blitzer impression needs work.

Saturday Night Live comedian Darrell Hammond said his most popular impersonation thus far has been a rude and randy version of actor Sean Connery. That people enjoy it means, “I’m hitting the mark,” said Hammond. The one with which he is least satisfied: “Wolf Blitzer. It’s not where I want it to be. I find myself falling into Chris Matthews,” Hammond said. Watch one of Hammond’s Blitzer impressions:

    He is missing the yelling that Wolf does.
    Wolf should have been a sports announcer.
    They yell their reports. As opposed to golf announcers who whisper.
    Will someone tell Wolf to tone down his voice?

    The long hot summer scenario put forth by Republican hacks in love with Bush’s wonderlust into disaster, or are they trying to tell us something?

    First, on June 3, 2007, Dennis Milligan, Chair of the Arkansas Republican Party, said, “I think all we need is some attacks on American soil like we had on [9/11]” to make the American people appreciate President Bush and thereby benefit the GOP. (Arkansas GOP head: We need more ‘attacks on American soil’ so people appreciate Bush, rawstory.com)

    Second, on July 7, 2007, former Republican Senator Rick Santorum asserted that a series of “unfortunate events” (meaning terrorist attacks) will occur within the next year and radically alter American citizens’ view of the war. (Santorum Suggests New Terror Attacks Will Change View Of War, prisonplanet.com)

    Third, on July 8, 2007, Lt.. Col. Doug Delaney, Chair of the War Studies Program at the Royal Military College in Kingston, Ontario, suggested the West needs more terrorist attacks on the scale of 9/11 and 7/7 to save a failing foreign policy. (Why military might does not always win, thestar.com)

    Fourth, on July 10, 2007, ABC News with Charlie Gibson reported that senior US intelligence officials insist that an “al-Qaida” terror cell is either already here or on the way, admitting the data is vague and non-specific. (Al Qaeda Cell in the U.S. Or On Its Way, According to New Intel, abcnews.com)

    Fifth, on July 10, 2007, an anonymous U.S. intelligence analyst told the AP that “al-Qaida has rebuilt its operating capability to a level not seen since just before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks,” according to two AP reporters. (Al-Qaida has rebuilt, U.S. intel warns, news.yahoo.com)

    Sixth, on July 10, 2007, Homeland Security Chief Michael Chertoff made a major effort to convey to the public he has a “gut feeling” that a new 9/11 is on the way, a report that even drew the attention of The New York Times (“Chertoff Warns of Higher Risk Of Terrorism,” July 11, 2007, page A16).

    Comment by Egreggious

    I wouldn’t say that there is a genetic defect but being brought up inside a family cocoon as the Bush’s can lead to a form of thinking. If you are brought to believe that you can’t amount to anything it takes great effort to disregard that and make yourself a contributing citizen and when you are hand-held and told that you are better than everyone else it would take a lot of guts to believe that this is not the truth. Unfortunately our boy-king has no delusions of his grandeur. He most certainly believes in his righteousness.

    You’ve cracked the case, buckets! Now we can impeach Bush because his grandfather was a Nazi.


  40. bucketsofbloodforbucketsofoil says:

    There were little warning signs but few were paying attention when George Bush the poppy ran for president in 1988 and 1992. First during the campaign it surfaced that one of his campaign staffers was a distributor of pro-Nazi propaganda. Before the ink was dry on the individual’s resignation, further revelations showed there were in fact a number of ex-Nazis on Bush’s campaign staff including Laszlo Pastor and Yaroslav Stetsko. Pastor was a member of the Hungarian Arrow Cross during WWII and served as an envoy to Germany. The Arrow Cross was known to be excessively brutal even to their Nazi allies. Stetsko served as the prime minister of the short lived Ukrainian puppet government. During the short reign of this puppet regime over 100,000 Jews were slaughtered in Lvov. George Bush’s insensitivity towards victims of the holocaust is underlined by his employment of Fred Malek, a well-known collaborator with former Nazis in both his presidential campaigns.

  41. Brassmask from 3DHS says:

    “Now we can impeach Bush”

    How are you going to do that?


  42. bucketsofbloodforbucketsofoil says:

    In fact, during the war, Prescott had three companies seized from him for trading with the Nazis. To understand the web of intrigue and follow the money from the Holocaust to the Bush family we need to start with the period immediately surrounding WWI. By 1916 August Thyssen could see that Germany had already lost the Great War and he needed to protect his fortune. His eldest son had been groomed to run the family steel business in the Ruhr. His second son Heinrich discreetly changed his citizenship from German to Hungarian and married the Hungarian aristocrat Baroness Margrit Bornemisza de Kaszon. Near the end of the war August Thyssen opened the Bank voor Handel en Scheepvaart in Rotterdam. Holland was a neutral country during the war and the new bank would serve as the perfect location to launder funds from the Thyssen Bank in Berlin and protect his fortune from allied financial demands. At the end of the war Heinrich now going by the name of Baron Thyssen Bornemisza de Kaszon moved to Rotterdam and became the principal owner of the Bank voor Handel en Scheepvaart. All that remained to be done in August Thyseen’s plan was to set up an American Bank.

    In 1922, Averell Harriman traveled to Germany to set up a branch of W.A. Harriman in Berlin. Harriman had hired George Herbert Walker, George Bush’s grandfather to run both the New York and Berlin branches of his expanding investment firm. During his stay in Germany Harriman had met the Thyseen family and agreed to help the Thyssen’s set up an American bank.

    In 1923, Germany was in economic shambles and Thyssen met with his friend General Ludendorff, who advised him that Germany’s hope lied with Hitler and the Nazi Party. Thyssen soon became a financial backer of the Nazis and Hitler.

    Early in 1924, Hendrick J. Kouwenhoven, the managing director of Bank voor Handel en Scheepvaart, traveled to New York. Meeting with Walker and the Harriman brothers, they founded the Union Banking Corporation. In 1926, August Thyssen died the eldest son Fritz expanded the Thyssen empire by creating United Steel Works. Thyssen also brought Fredich Flick on board. The Thyssen-Flick union was designed to suppress the union movement. As a result of the merger of Thyssen and Flick, George Walker hired his son in law Prescott Bush to manage the United Steel Works account. One division of United Steel Works consisted of both Consolidated Silesian Steel Corporation and the Upper Silesian Coal and Steel Company. Both were located in the mineral rich Silesian area of Poland. The arrangement was extremely profitable for all four men: Thyssen, Flick, Walker and Bush until the depression started in 1929. Congressional investigations after the war showed that United Steel had supplied 50.8 percent of the pig iron in Nazi Germany and likewise was a major supplier of all other ferrous based metal products needed by Hitler’s war machine. Hence, one of the largest munitions makers in Nazi Germany was funded by Prescott Bush, the father and grandfather of two future US Presidents.

  47. bucketsofbloodforbucketsofoil says:

    The reason Auschwitz was located there was because of the abundant supplies of coal which could be processed into aviation fuel. I.G. Farben soon built a plant near Auschwitz to take advantage of not only of the nearby coal deposits but also of the slave labor supply available at Auschwitz. According to a Dutch intelligence agent, Prescott Bush managed a portion of the slave labor force in Poland.

    On October 20, 1942 the United States government seized Union Banking under the Trading with the Enemy Act. During that summer, The New York Tribune had exposed Bush and Thyssen whom it called Hitler’s Angel. Union Bank’s books revealed a myriad of Nazi money and holding companies. Officials realized they had only scratched the tip of the iceberg. On November 17, 1942, the government seized Silesian American Corporation and placed its operation under the Government Alien Property custodian office.

    Nice.


  52. bucketsofbloodforbucketsofoil says:

    On February 8, 1951, Thyssen died in Argentina. Following his death, the Alien Property Custodian released the assets of the Union Banking Corporation to Brown Brothers Harriman. The remaining shareholders quietly cashed in their remaining shares. Prescott Bush received $1.5 million for his share in Union Banking’s blood money.

    This brief article has only scratched the surface of the sordid association of Prescott Bush with the Nazis as he had yet a third company seized from him during the war. In his first run for senator, Prescott was defeated after his position within the eugenics movement was disclosed. George the poppy has followed in his father’s footsteps and retained many of the same family connections with the Nazis. For instance, as chairman of the Republican Party he presided over the formation of the Ethnic Heritage groups of the Republican Party. This was a reward for the Nazi quislings from Eastern Europe for helping in the election of Nixon as president. When two or more ethnic groups were vying for control over a particular group invariably the group with close ties to the Nazis won out. George also shows the same intense interest in population control. Perhaps it was for his beliefs in eugenics, George appointed Draper as his expert on population. Or perhaps it was more of a reward for past services rendered by Draper to the Bush family. Draper was the former general placed in control of the military government‘s economic division after the war. Draper was a rabid racist and member of the Eugenics Society. He was also a former employee of Dillion and Reed, the large Wall Street brokerage house that floated the largest German bond offerings including one for United Steel Works. In his position as economic czar of Germany, he stopped the dismantling of an I.G. Farben plant and was in the ideal slot to protect his former clients that armed Hitler, including Bush.

    The same close associations are apparent with Bush junior. One interesting pattern in international relations is ready observed that the Israeli government moves to the hard right whenever a Bush is in the Oval Office. Considering, Israel has one of the best intelligence agencies in the world and a perhaps the most extensive data base on the holocaust, could the Israeli hard-liners be blackmailing the Bushes? Do they have a smoking gun that would at once end the political aspirations of the entire Bush clan as well as place the family wealth at risk for damages suffered during the Holocaust? One researcher already says the family wealth is at risk in such suits; the ties are that strong.

    Especially since you guys have always said this war has nothing to do with oil, it’s about freeing the Iraqis.

    But the point is, if you ‘re a hypocrite, you’re a hypocrite. We don’t have to prove anything. It’s not like if we can’t prove it, then you’re not a hypocrite.

    What we believe or can prove has no bearing on the actual facts. I know you guys think spin is powerful, but it really doesn’t change facts.

    How Bush’s grandfather helped Hitler’s rise to power

    Rumours of a link between the US first family and the Nazi war machine have circulated for decades. Now the Guardian can reveal how repercussions of events that culminated in action under the Trading with the Enemy Act are still being felt by today’s president

    Ben Aris in Berlin and Duncan Campbell in Washington
    Saturday September 25, 2004
    The Guardian

    George Bush’s grandfather, the late US senator Prescott Bush, was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany.
    The Guardian has obtained confirmation from newly discovered files in the US National Archives that a firm of which Prescott Bush was a director was involved with the financial architects of Nazism.

    His business dealings, which continued until his company’s assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act, has led more than 60 years later to a civil action for damages being brought in Germany against the Bush family by two former slave labourers at Auschwitz and to a hum of pre-election controversy.

    The Herald-Tribune article did not identify Bush or Harriman as executives of UBC, or Brown Brothers Harriman, in which they were partners, as UBC’s private banker. A confidential FBI memo from that period suggested, without naming the Bush and Harriman families, that politically prominent individuals were about to come under official U.S. government scrutiny as Hitler’s plunder of Europe continued unabated.

    After the “Hitler’s Angel” article was published Bush and Harriman made no attempts to divest themselves of the controversial Thyssen financial alliance, nor did they challenge the newspaper report that UBC was, in fact, a de facto Nazi front organization in the U.S.

    Instead, the government documents show, Bush and his partners increased their subterfuge to try to conceal the true nature and ownership of their various businesses, particularly after the U.S. entered the war. `

    Sullivan & Cromwell was not the only firm engaged in funding Germany. According to ‘The Splendid Blond Beast,’ Christopher Simpson’s seminal history of the politics of genocide and profit, Brown Brothers, Harriman was another bank that specialized in investments in Germany. The key figure was Averill Harriman, a dominating figure in the American establishment. . . .

    “The firm originally was known as W. A. Harriman & Company. The link between Harriman & Company’s American investors and Thyssen started in the 1920s, through the Union Banking Corporation, which began trading in 1924. In just one three-year period, the Harriman firm sold more than $50 million of German bonds to American investors. ‘Bert’ Walker was Union Banking’s president, and the firm was located in the offices of Averill Harriman’s company at 39 Broadway in New York.

    “In 1926 Bert Walker did a favor for his new son-in-law, Prescott Bush. It was the sort of favor families do to help their children make a start in life, but Prescott came to regret it bitterly. Walker made Prescott vice president of W. A. Harriman. The problem was that Walker’s specialty was companies that traded with Germany. As Thyssen and the other German industrialists consolidated Hitler’s political power in the 1930s, an American financial connection was needed. According to our sources, Union Banking became an out-and-out Nazi money-laundering machine. . . .

    I can understand why you wouldn’t get it from my detailed explanation above, so I’ll break it don further for ya. Note that I’m going y the standards that you proposed — i. e., a liberal who hates the war yet uses oil.

    Why are you a hypocrite? Because you’re happily consuming the “fruits” (no pun intended) of illegal labor, which helps supply most the produce consumed in the US. By your standards, THAT is hypocritical.

    Why is a liberal who opposes the war NOT hypocritical? Because the war is NOT ABOUT OIL, according to the President and the right-wing echo chamber. So the two issues should be entirely unrelated, from your perspective. Also, as several have pointed out, Canada is our biggest foreign supplier, and the US produces about 40% of our needs, if my memory is correct.

    So the liklihood that any oil consumed by any one person in any one day is far, far smaller than the liklihood that that same person has consumed a piece of produce that has been helped along its path to market by illegal labor.

    “Walker also set up a deal to take over the North American operations of the Hamburg-Amerika Line, a cover for I.G. Farben’s Nazi espionage unit in the United States. The shipping line smuggled in German agents, propaganda, and money for bribing American politicians to see things Hitler’s way. The holding company was Walker’s American Shipping & Commerce, which shared the offices at 39 Broadway with Union Banking. In an elaborate corporate paper trail, Harriman’s stock in American Shipping & Commerce was controlled by yet another holding company, the Harriman Fifteen Corporation, run out of Walker’s office. The directors of this company were Averill Harriman, Bert Walker, and Prescott Bush. . . .

    The government investigation against Prescott Bush continued. Just before the storm broke, his son, George, abandoned his plans to enter Yale and enlisted in the U.S. Army. It was, say our sources among the former intelligence officers, a valiant attempt by an eighteen-year-old boy to save the family’s honor.

    “Young George was in flight school in October 1942, when the U.S. government charged his father with running Nazi front groups in the United States. Under the Trading with the Enemy Act, all the shares of the Union Banking Corporation were seized, including those held by Prescott Bush as being in effect held for enemy nationals. Union Banking, of course, was an affiliate of Brown Brothers, Harriman, and Bush handled the Harrimans’ investments as well.

    “Once the government had its hands on Bush’s books, the whole story of the intricate web of Nazi front corporations began to unravel. A few days later two of Union Banking’s subsidiaries — the Holland American Trading Corporation and the Seamless Steel Equipment Corporation — also were seized. Then the government went after the Harriman Fifteen Holding Company, which Bush shared with his father- in-law, Bert Walker, the Hamburg-Amerika Line, and the Silesian- American Corporation. The U.S. government found that huge sections of Prescott Bush’s empire had been operated on behalf of Nazi Germany and had greatly assisted the German war effort.”

    Document uncovers details of a planned coup in the USA in 1933 by a group of right-wing American businessmen. The coup was aimed at toppling President Franklin D Roosevelt with the help of half-a-million war veterans. The plotters, who were alleged to involve some of the most famous families in America, (owners of Heinz, Birds Eye, Goodtea, Maxwell Hse & George Bush’s Grandfather, Prescott) believed that their country should adopt the policies of Hitler and Mussolini to beat the great depression.

    Wolf Blitzer has got to be one of the most boring “journalists” on TV. He really needs voice lessons–he has such a monotonous voice, and his idea of emphasis is simply to make the monotone a little louder. Not to mention that he doesn’t seem to know enough to contradict any of his guests who spout talking points. He asks stupid questions, but, like Tweety sometimes, he doesn’t seem to pay attention to the answers because he’s too intent on getting to the next question. Plus I hate the set–all those stupid screens are just annoying.

    That’s pretty much it for me “on topic”. Oh, and my favorite Darrell Hammond “Clinton” is the “I…am…bulletproof!” one. Classic!

    I feel for them. But the only thing I could do was suck down some cold ones. Interestingly, I did meet a Bulgarian who was in Iraq and had nothing but good things to say about our troops. He even swapped boots with a GI. He was part of our group (friends I have made there) and he was legit. Anyway with my limited Bulgarian I didn’t broach the subject if he thought it was a just war.

    Comment by Brassmask from 3DHS

    The freedom operation was about Democracy and creating an environment of commerce. Iraq is loaded with oil. Of course the democratic experiment is about oil and the oil laws.

    Lemme see If I can find a Wolfowitz quote michael.

    The clip showed Wolfowitz telling a congressional panel, “It’s hard to conceive that it would take more forces to provide stability in post-Saddam Iraq than it would take to conduct the war itself,” and “The oil revenue of that country could bring between 50 and 100 billion dollars over the course of the next two or three years. We’re dealing with a country that could really finance its own reconstruction, and relatively soon”

    Your response confirms that you lack at least one of the following:

    reading comprehension
    intellectual honesty
    basic understanding of logic

    I’m guessing it’s at least two.

    For instance, your refusal to admit that you took my quote out of context in order to pose your irrelevant question in the first place points to a lack of intellectual honesty.

    Yet your obsessive focus on your irrelevant question points to a lack of reading comprehension.

    So I’m guessing that you lack at least those two characteristics.


  243. Egreggious says:

    Can I say something about hypocrisy? I think it’s over-rated. We all have to make compromises in our life.

    I think there is some hypocrisy that is worse than others. Cheney making tons of dough on this war when it his war to begin with – that’s a level of hypocrisy that I find abhorrent.

    I don’t mind so much if Ann Coulter eats vegetables picked by illegal immigrants. I just hope she thinks about it from time to time when she does so.

    I already explained several times why your question was irrelevant. I know, I know, I used a lot of words and I can understand why you got lost.

    Can you explain why if someone thinks the war is about oil then they’re a hypocrite?

    When you answer, you might keep in mind the Mirian-Webster definitions of “hypocrite”:

    1 : a person who puts on a false appearance of virtue or religion
    2 : a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings

    Pretty much, but this troll has put some “english” on it by obsessively using this false standard to distract from the original issue, which he brought up in the first place.

    Comment by Brassmask from 3DHS — July 27, 2007 @ 11:00 pm

    I care. Hi, Zehava. How are you? Got something new posted finally so I can now spend some time here. And it’s Friday! So I can stay up as late as I like.

    As to the conversation going on here, I think it’s very disengenuous to extract a comment froma poster, assign a motivation or interpretation to it, and then ask the poster to defend the different viewpoint posed by the interogator. The war is not about the aquisition of more oil, but for the control of oil to enrich the fossil fuels industries, who thrity-off years ago laughed at those who said that the world’s supply of oil was in often dangerous places, and that alternative energy sources should be sought and marketed. Since they had no interest in seeing competition” survive, they did everything they could to discredit the environmental movement.

    And, like Jane, I love Darrel Hammond’s “Bulletproof” Clinton bit. It ranks right up there with Dan Akroyd’s Carter and Nixon impersonations. And I think he’s right that he starts slipping into Chris Matthews a little toward the end. I think he’s trying to pretend that Blitzer is paying attention to his surroundings. He needs to portray Blizten as more oblivious, more unaware of what anyone else is saying. Almost as if he might actually be deaf, and faking it. Badly.

    He admitted it on television, to the american people – the same people he lied to when he said “we never negotiate with terrorists.”

    Lawrence Walsh stated that the reason he didn’t indict Reagan was because when interviewd by Walsh, Reagan misremembered events, and mixed them up with his memories of his Hollywood days. The only reason Reagan wasn’t impeached was that Walsh felt sorry for him, and didn’t want to embarrass his family.

    I know these statements were posted a while ago, but I was trying to catch up with everything posted since. (Late to the party.)

    Anyway, the comments above demonstrate a clear and unequivocal ignorance about the purpose and nature of journalism. Journalism is not about finding the “balance” between one side and the other; journalism is about finding out the objective truth, the facts of the story. if it is a fact that one side is lying to cover up their own wrongdoing, then it is not”liberal bias” to report the fact that the person is lying. The people who are trying to mislead others into thinking that they are right by using falsehoods and deceptions, are not entitled to the “benefit of the doubt” any more than the people who are tellng the truth. If your whole report boils down to “he said-she said”, then you are not conducting journalism, but simple transription. A real journalist would tell the audience (or reader) which side’s version jibes with verfiable facts.

    I agree that it is an important but separate aspect. That the CCM (Corporate-Controlled Media) do not want to upset those in power, they limit the amunt of true journalism that makes it to the air. Greg Palast has done some great reporting on all kinds of ciorprate corruption, but you rarely see it aired on Amercian television (or cable). And Rupert Murdoch flat out does believe in jurnalism. He views his media empire as a means to further his own financial interests. If he can make money off it, then he’ll do it. Otherwise, reporting the facts of what people in the Bush Administration are doing to the American people only hurts his bottom line, so he doesn’t do it unless absolutely necessary.
