I don’t know about you guys, but I bet the next time Cal Thomas shows up for a Fox News gig, they give him a breathalyzer.
"All of them are trying to copy FOX News now to be honest. Many of them are doing tabloid, more big lipped blonde’s and all this kind of stuff. There’s only so much of that trailer trash pie to go around."
Not exactly sure what he meant by "trailer trash pie," but I’m not sure I want to know, quite frankly. Crooks and Liars has the video — be sure and pay attention to all the tittering around the Faux News set. Wonder how the Faux viewers feel, knowing that everyone at the network not only laughs at them behind their backs, but that they are brazen enough to call them easily manipulated rubes for ratings on the air as well?
Classy.
(Hat tip to reader CBL for the heads up on this, and huge thanks to C&L for hosting this video. hehehe "Trailer trash pie." Wonder what Laurie Dhue thought of that one…hehehehe.)

Trailer trash pie?
will Rita Cosby sue? and if so, on what grounds?
Well, then…Fitz!
Porcupine pie?
Yeah, I know. I thought about a contest to decide what he really meant…and then I thought about all the possibilities that I could come up with on my own, and decided against the contest. *g* No idea what in the hell he was thinking with that — but it’s freaking hilarious, whatever he meant.
I like trailer trash
Sue who? Er, sue whom?
Our trailer trash can beat up your trailer trash!
Or was he trashing Robert “Tractor” Traylor?
Fitz the cat and don’t forget poland!
Oh, and didja hear – Bushco are now progressives according to Rove. At this point I give the bastard two weeks till he’s trying to co-opt “liberal.”
EPUed from the last post: TPMmuckraker points to this piece by Eric Lipton in the New York times as evidence that journalism is not dead and that the grey lady can still print the truth when she wants to.
I saw that yesterday on Faux and freaked out! LOL I NEVER watch Faux usually but I occasionally watch News Watch on Saturday. That was priceless. Ah, “Cal Thomas, Mr. Murdock would like to see you on his office. NOW! LOL
we do need to be cautious about laughing too much at folk who live in trailers … people live there because it’s cheap housing.
glad you liked it Christy, breathalizer indeed

I wonder if you serve it with whipped cream out of the spray can? Or does trailer trash pie come a la mode? *g* See, the jokes just write themselves. (Or maybe I’m just punchy…)
that’s hilarious, Christy
there’ll always be plenty of wingnut trailer trash pie to go around because no self-respecting man or woman would eat it
Maybe he was jonesing for his piece of trailer trash pie to be served by a big lipped blonde?
big lipped blond? are we back to talking about Snitchens latest writing?
being trailer trash is a state of mind — rush limbaugh’s trailer trash, for instance — so are george, laura & the twins, living on a hog farm & making believe it’s a ranch
My prediction: He’ll get away with it. The trailer trash will all say he’s talking about the other Faux viewers.
As a big-lipped strawberry blond from a white trash background, I OBJECT!!
White trash pie is only eaten with a spork.
As always, well said *ilson at 7:41.
I am confident Cal Thomas will run away from the “trailer trash” comment as fast as he can.
It kind of fits with Tony Snow’s “it’s a number.”
Christy –
That illustration at the top…your research dept. deserves a raise.
By “pie” he of course meant percentages as in pie chart. Funny thing though I’ve noticed with both MSNBC’s Rita Cosby AND CNN’s Paula Zahn, they both try to work the word “SHOCKING” in their intros of what coming up every chance they get. Not a dimes worth of difference.
I think that trailer trash pie is the one that junior evil promised to make higher.
Blank Kludge — you know, I found that all by myself. I’m pretty proud of it — it was too perfect. With this one and the limo hooker service pix from yesterday, it’s been serendipty in the photo department this weekend. The snark gods are smiling upon me. *g* (Plus, the descriptive little bit at the top made me laugh out loud…)
Christy,
You know exactly what ‘trailer trash pie’ is.
I lived in a trailer for a while, shortly after being kicked out of high school (it was my parents’ choice — the trailer, that is…). Just so happened I was in the middle of coming out during the latter part of that time, so I guess you could say that, for a happy while, I served up some pretty nice trailer trash pie myself (to the right sort of boy, that is).
And the spray-can whipped topping could be fun, but messy. But then wasn’t everything? Sigh — now that’s nostalgia!
This reminds me of the latest Apple ad, where the Mac and PC discuss the pie chart (”Work vs. Home”). I could just see a remix of that with Cal Thomas’s comment, I’m laughing out loud just thinking of it.
The “pie” is the demographic.
Gosh, I thought he meant the “pie” was Faux programming and the “trailer trash” is the Faux audience.
new thread already !
‘DAYyum, thet thar Eye-raq blew up good, haw Junior?’…’Shore diddley doodly, Deadeye!’
;>)
Hey does anybody have the recipie for trailer trash pie? Mabye it could be included in the next delurk thread!
Joseph Nobles,
“The “pie” is the demographic.”
True, and it’s a large one.
That’s weird. I didn’t post twice, I promise!
“…trailer trash pie…”
FEMA & FauxNoise delivers what Murcans want !!!
I`m glad not to be able to make this stuff up…

I know this is getting EPU’d cause there’s a new thread, but I love this juvenile delinquent book art stuff! I have an address book called the “Teen Pulp Address Book”. It’s hilarious.

Hey, if somebody buys it through Amazon, does a cut go to Jane and Christy???
Christy–
EPU’d, I know, but do you think you could get Cal Thomas to post the recipe for Trailer Trash Pie on FDL next Saturday morning?
Trailer Trash Pie? Sounds pretty good….why wasn’t this featured on the recipe thread yesterday?

There’s only ONE true trailer trash pie:

Mmm. Extra jalapenos. Just like mama used to make!
Don’t forget the Alka Seltzer chaser.
In re “trailer trash pie”…more a state of mind than an accident of birth.
Okay, say what you will about Laurie Dhue.
But, if Laurie Dhue is “trailer trash pie” — and is there any doubt? — then, Rita Cosby is “trailer trash meringue pie” times ten!
Moreover, while Rita Cosby made her bones at FOX, she has managed to parlay her specials “gifts” to leap-frog up — or, perhaps it’s down! — by her career move to MSNBC, where she gets to keep company with the likes of Tweety and Noron and Scarborough and Tucker — “trailer trash pies” all!
Come to think of it, Tucker Carlson is a special “trailer trash pie” — coconut creme!

We really shouldn’t make jokes about trailer trash. There was a moving diary about kids growing up in trailer parks and how humiliating it is for them when someone from uptown visits them. Poor people have dignity and self-respect too and it is really so sad the way poor people are treated by media in this country. As a wiseman once said – don’t be ashamed of poverty; try to get out of it.
sa rose, whatever that – uh – object is, it has a sort of horrifying fascination.

Umm… I don’t think I’m so hungry anymore.
I keep thinking of Ann Coulter’s “pie wagons” comment WRT women in the reality-based community.
In the media business, when fox first started doing well, there was an expression “CNN is for CEO’s, CNBC for CFO’s and FOX is for UFO’s!”…
Well, now everyone’s gone to the dark side and they all have plenty of room for the UFO’s to land (perhaps in the trailer park?)
The only honest news today is on The Daily Show. Thank you Jon Stewart!
If I can’t impugn my own heritage, whose can I impugn?

Ah, but The Daily Show is satire, couched as news…The latest in a long, storied tradition.
There can be no ‘independent’ news, as long as news divisions are run for profit.

Sue who? Er, sue whom?
Sue Z Q
Let’s not forget James Carville’s famous quote about Paula Jones: “You drag hundred dollar bills through trailer parks and there’s no telling what you’ll find.”
zesty….
darkblack@49… I do know its satire (unlike Tom deLay, who thinks Colbert is a real supporter!). But its a shame when the most aggressive interviewing comes from the “fake” news guys like Stewart and Colbert… did you see Stewart just decimate Bill Bennett on gay marriage? And Colbert left Kristol speechless by confronting him on the whole New American Century concept….
beth @25
yeah, well joonyah has certainly made some trailer trash higher alright. toot toot. say no more.
For those waiting for the next post, if you have some time check out this photo essay on immigration at the Mexican border at one of my favorite monthly stops….if you have a little more time, make sure you see the one titled “Bitter Fruit”, an photo essay on the governmental downplay of soldiers arriving statesideunder the cover of an American Flag.

Uh, if only trailer trash watches FauxNews, then just recall that Dick Cheney requires all TVs in his hotel rooms to be tuned to FauxNews. aWol watches it too…
