Saturday Night Funny Video: Colbert Ridicules Reid Who Mused Over His Pomegranate Trees
Back in late June I introduced a new series of Saturday night humor postings for NewsBusters drawn from the clips Bret Baier runs at the end of FNC’s Special Report which he selects from video montages picked up from the late night comedy shows. Well, vacations and busy news weekends sidetracked me, but here’s a fresh one, my first in about a month.
From Baier’s Wednesday night (August 3) program, a clip from Comedy Central’s Colbert Report making fun of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for musing about missing the pomegranate and fig trees at his home in Nevada.
The Reid soundbite, and/or Colbert’s quip about it, certainly amused Baier panelist Stephen Hayes.

Wait. Reid has pomegranate trees. I don't have pomegranate trees. I demand he sacrifice some trees and give them to me! "Obviously, at some point, I think you've grown enough pomegranates." - B. Hussein Obama

You remember that old song from the 50's........by some jazzish type of singer of that era - 'come on-a-my house, my house, I'm gonna give you peaches and pears and-a pomegranates too'??? Something like that............

Trees?

Dingy Harry must not live in his hometown of Searchlight, NV any longer. I don't think there is a tree in Searchlight. Having the misfortune of driving through that bleak, hardscrabble town is like driving on the surface of the Moon.

Having spent some time in the area myself, I would have to disagree with you.

I'm sure there are some nice people there, but, in all honesty, it's got to be one of the saddest-looking and ugliest towns in the US. The best way to see it is from 50,000 feet up

Harry Reid is the most pathetic whiner since the perpetually "disappointed" Tom Daschle.
The voters in Nevada should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.

I'd lump them in with the Minnesota voters who sent Franken to the Senate, though that did require some manufacturing of votes by the Dems.

I suspect there's alot of shadiness involved in every election when it comes to the Dems. I lived in Massachusetts for years and not many people I knew were fans of Teddy K or Bawney Fwank and yet they were re-elected time and again.

Well, Harry, if you miss your pomegranite trees and fig trees so much, why don't you resign your Senate seat and stay home in Nevada? No one forced you to run for re-election, and no one is forcing you to stay in the Senate.

Why did you need to link this through Fox when it was Colbert's moment? The snarky chuckling from F&B added a little oomph?
See Marilyn, you really are a drama queen.

Baier was obviously chuckling at Colbert's take on Dingy, which was pretty funny.

In fact, tell it to all the US service members who have missed their families for up to a year on multiple deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq all these years.
Everytime this old wimp opens his mouth he sounds ridiculous.

Nothing I like better than reading cowboy poetry under a pomegranate tree.
