Milton Friedman spanks Phil Donahue, sends him to his room without supper

March 27, 2009, 7:59 pm · 4 comments

Thanks to John Romano over at BigHollywood.com for digging out this old YouTube video of Milton Friedman teaching dumbfounded liberal Phil Donahue a few things about how capitalism and the real world work.

You can help but love the crestfallen look on Donahue’s face.

OLDER: Weekend Caption Contest #3
NEWER: Financial crisis solved, so Senate moves on to football crisis

C. Clemans March 27, 2009, 9:01 pm at 9:01 pm: Donahue, Phil? Funny thing but if you add a few letters to his name and then re arrange them you get…”knee jerk liberal, guilt ridden, American hating, communist leaning sap.”

DeeMac March 27, 2009, 11:32 pm at 11:32 pm: I always thought that if you rearranged the letters in Phil’s name you got, “white male, pre-version of The Oprah”, but yours it much better than mine.

It streams all of his shows for free, and has an interesting introduction by a young vehemently anti-socialist Arnold Schwarzenegger.

  - KimmyQueen: He is lame for not standing up to the fact that what he said was true. The idiot did not make any sense and it was stupid of him to declare holy war on Switzerland. The Swiss may see pacifists but I don’t think that they play that way. I wouldn’t mess with them.
  - John: Yea, thats a terrible offense making a lite wieght comment about a pshyco threatening terroism. He should have told obama ” fck you I’m not goina appolgize find a new boy”.
  - juandos: Personally I think if Tim Crowley was a stand up guy, he would’ve told the administration to ‘go ‘F themselves and the horse they came in on‘… Then again Crowley being a government employee might not have any skill sets for the real world…
- “Aha,” David Axelrod said to the President, “I think I’ve figured out what your problem is.” (7)
  - KimmyQueen: Okay… The problem is not the fact that he and his people suck majorly, is Fox. The problem is Fox and the solution is either to diminish their credibility or to push the alternate news cable channels to counteract Fox. Uhm this smells like trying to destroy 1st amendments...
  - Johnny: I only watch FOX today. I switched to FOX from the Clinton News Network to get the truth in reporting. I accidentally caught some Olbermann a few weeks ago and he was downright insulting to me personally. I swear I will never watch MSNBC, CNN, or whatever else is out there pretending to...

  - Ray: Matthews is trying to be funny and original. Unfortunately, it’s not in his DNA.
  - John: Anyone that watches the idiots on MSNBC for honesty or intelligent reporting is pretty stupid. You see the quick laugh the two smug idiots made when mathews mentioned Dick Cheneys daughter? She is smarter than all three of those fools put together.
- The great, late Barack Obama (2)
  - KimmyQueen: Smoke breaks were so prevalent in his life it seems. I have seen people who cannot sit down for 10 minutes without the need for a smoke. Or else he just didnt give a crap.

- Letterman’s “Top Ten Signs Rahm Emanuel Is Nuts” (4)

  - KimmyQueen: Obviously only a few people have the “smarts” and everyone else we are brainless animals and need to be told what to do. This guy is a typical Progressive. Instead of presenting his points of view and just answer the question, he actually had to attack someone else’s...
  - RIM: Reich is a condescending prig. Recipients of health insurance are smarter than ever about what they are buying and most today DO NOT WANT what Obama/Pelosi/Reid are selling. Over and Out.
- Third Bush term? Indonesian students throw shoes at photo of Obama (4)
  - KimmyQueen: I didn’t laugh when it happened to Bush because, unlike Obama, he earned my respect even if I didn’t agree 100% with all that he did. Also I admire the fact that he was so athletic, he didnt just dodge one shoe, he dodged two. I wonder with all his smoking if Obama would...
  - Axel: i didnt laugh at the fact that Bush got shoes thrown at him, the funniest part was the way he avoided it. it was like Matrix, or a ninja.
  - KimmyQueen: I will laugh if someone hurls a shoe towards him.
- Tribune radio exec bans 119 words, topping George Carlin by 112 (2)
  - Dee Mac: For the record, I like Carlin’s better. I remember watching my dad try to suppress laughter when he heard it and my mom was watching him with that “if you laugh out loud at this you are going to be in serious trouble Harold” look. He failed and we all ended up in tears,...
  - Dee Mac: He missed: Rate of speed – as in, “the car was traveling at a high rate of speed”. For those of you with limited vocabulary, speed is a rate, therefore the preceding phrase is redundant. He also missed some of my other favorites, but I don’t want to encourage this...
- Was Obama really a professor of constitutional law? (10)
  - Axel: his opponents werent that good either
- Dan Rather says Obama “couldn’t sell watermelons.” Unknown if Rather thinks he could sell fried chicken. (9)

  - JPT: The stimulus package has created or saved over 6 millions watermelon related jobs… Obama CAN sell the old Citrullus lanatus! Jeez… The next time a State Trooper pulls me over (does not happen that much) I will ask him if the reason he stopped me is related to the sale of...
  - Axel: if obama can go gangsta like he said then damn right he can sell watermelons
- Pot calls kettle black: CBS rejects Oscar commercial as too immoral (9)
  - JPT: First off… Thanks for 720p Youtube. Nice to see this is really 2010. I actually liked that ad. It was stupid, tacky and totally ridiculous. Then again, have you seen Avatar? (good action scenes though) If Ashely Madison thought that people would flock to their site after seeing that...
  - Veronica: ocmadam March 10, 2010, 9:05 am at 9:05 am actually, I’m glad CBS didn’t show it. good for them Agreed. CBS did the right thing.

  - JPT: Remember when Lindsay was in Mean Girls? Kind of random but check this out: http://www.youtube.c om/watch?v=KQeTlxhhm Eo Now… Lindsay identifies with and admits the image of her as a crazy slut alcoholic is valid and accurate? That is not the sort of item you want to go public with my...
  - KimmyQueen: Funny. And you know what? They would probably have more cause than Lindsay Lohan has for her lawsuit. She is an arrogant freak. She looks older than me. Sad.
  - ocmadam: Lindsay Wagoner and Lindsay Davenport have issued cross complaints against Lohan and asking for $1 trillion in damages for lost credibility to the name Lindsay.
- The talking heads discuss ObamaCare (4)
  - KimmyQueen: I see your challenge because rape is a sensitive issue and rape, in the context of “rape, rape” as Whoopi would say it, is not funny. However, I got to tell you within the context of what Obama and these people are doing it is actually quite true that he is raping the USA....
  - Roarke: Kevin wait.. so you have a photoshop of Obama raping America, but its not quite that funny, is that what your saying? I think the idea is brilliant! Email me the pic if you dare llroarke@gmail.com
  - Kevin: I’ve been wanting to photoshop a picture of obama raping America saying, “You can’t stop me, so just sit back and enjoy it, baby.” You know, because that’s what he’s saying. Sadly, it is difficult to photoshop rape in a humorous way .

  - CurtisHx: Ummmm…..I like to see what’s under the hood before I purchase a car…..
  - KimmyQueen: Wow that is brilliant. If you want to know was in it, then pass it. Kind of like signing a blank check or not reading the minute words on the bottom of a contract. She is basically admitting that this is a scam, but actually thinks that people are so stupid to realize it.

  - Stephen: Fake Christians like you are sick. You have almost no facts whatsoever on your side, and you are possibly one of the most hateful people I have ever encountered. I probably couldn’t find a monster like you in real life if I tried. You are too far gone to even bother with anymore....

  - Mick Russom: Yeah, who can take Glen Becks read this book, know this about history and the truth. So annoying. Cancel that and get your statist progressive programming OTA.
