Rachel Maddow smacks down Republican hack David Frum
September 22, 2010
Rachel Maddow sparred with former Bush speechwriter/National Review contributor David Frum, after Frum thought he’d cleverly ambush Maddow with the accusation that she was contributing to the low tone of the political discourse.
MADDOW: You have publicly stated some reservations about John McCain and criticisms about the way his campaign is run, even though you have also said that you will vote for him. One quote I wanted to ask you about. You said, “Those who press this Ayers line of attack are whipping Republicans and conservatives into a fury that’s going to be very hard to calm after November.” What do you mean by that, in that word, “fury.”
FRUM: Well, I think that you were talking through much of the show about the matter of tone in our politics. And yet, we are seeing, I think, an intensification of the ugliness of tone that has been a feature of American politics for the past eight years. I mean, this show, unfortunately, is an example of that problem.
Basically, Frum objected to Maddow’s injection of humor and sarcasm into her show as an example of how political culture was circling the drain. Maddow, obviously, had some disagreement with this contention, suggesting that her use of comic effect was not in any way equivalent to say…calling for someone’s head on the campaign trail.
Of course, Frum seems to have a problem with political comedy in general. Back in July, he took to his “Diary” to caterwaul over the way Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert treat the conversation:
Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert obviously see themselves as something more than ordinary funny men. Recall Stewart’s memorable scolding of Crossfire for hurting America; remember Stephen Colbert’s preachy appearance at the White House correspondents dinner. They think something is very wrong with cable news, and so they satirize that wrong.
In making their point, they themselves violate every kind of journalistic ethical rule. They say, “It’s OK for us – we’re fake news.” That’s a convenient excuse. But it’s not really an adequate one.
Yes! It’s almost as if The Daily Show and the Colbert Report have an established, intrinsic comedic conventions that are a thing apart from the two men’s appearances in all other fora! And because they don’t adhere to those conventions ALL THE TIME, like on Crossfire, or at the Duane Reade, they are violating some journalistic ethics.
Frum went on to say:
A few days ago, Colbert scoffed at my friend David Brooks for referring to the “salad bar” at Applebee’s – when Applebee’s doesn’t feature salad bars. An error – how ridiculous! But conscious fabrication? I guess that’s OK, so long as it’s done in the sacred name of comedy.
Speaking of conscious fabrication done in the “sacred names” of things, the bloggers at Sadly, No! would like to know why this conscious fabrication was deployed in the sacred name of advertising the National Review! I’d be interested in hearing if Frum actually believes that “Gore-type environmental[ism]” is really about “taking cars away” and “stop[ping] the trend of American life.” Actually, is Frum capable of associating himself with a statement on Al Gore that’s not some sort of ridiculous fabrication? Just wondering!
Maddow demonstrates respectful restraint in her own defense. Really, if she had wanted to deploy some lowball humor at Frum’s expense, she could have pointed out that the way Frum hunched himself forward, grimacing and closing his eyes as if he was girding himself, made him look like a constipated man heroically battling to pop a squat. That would have been lowball and disrespectful! Still wouldn’t have been the equivalent of dressing a monkey up in an Obama sticker, or yelling “Treason!” in a crowded hall!

Stephen Colbert, Drew Carey, Garry Trudeau: Political Humor and Campaigning Part 4 (2004)
Watch the full program: http://thefilmarchived.blogspot.com/2010/08/stephen-colbert-drew-carey-and-garry.html
Carey began appearing in commercials for restaurants in the late 1990s in Canada with The Great Root Bear, but his two-year contract with A&W Food Services of Canada was cut short in November 1998 after an episode of The Drew Carey Show featured McDonald’s. As a result of his dismissal, Carey sued A&W for compensation.
On April 22, 1999 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios (then “Disney-MGM Studios”), part of Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, Carey debuted a 12-minute attraction entitled Sounds Dangerous! In the show, a camera follows Carey through a day as an undercover detective. When his video camera fails, the audience is left in complete darkness wearing earphones, following his adventure through sound cues. The attraction is presently running on a limited “seasonal” schedule.
In 1999, Carey made a cameo appearance in “Weird Al” Yankovic’s music video for “It’s All About the Pentiums.” In 2004, he made an appearance for Fountains of Wayne’s video for “Mexican Wine” giving an introduction to the video as if it were on a stage.
On May 7, 2000, Carey’s television film Geppetto debuted on The Wonderful World of Disney. The film, an adaptation of Pinocchio, included actor Wayne Brady who had joined Carey on Whose Line Is It Anyway? and a few episodes of The Drew Carey Show. Carey took singing lessons to prepare for the role.
In 2000 Carey was given a cameo appearance in the House Party expansion pack of the computer game The Sims. To make him appear, the Sims must throw a successful party, which causes Carey to arrive in a limo and join the festivities. Carey is a fan of The Sims series and during one April Fool’s episode of The Drew Carey Show, a scene takes place completely within The Sims.
In 2001 he made an appearance in the WWE’s annual Royal Rumble event. He eliminated himself after Kane made his way to the ring.
Carey provided the entertainment for the 2002 Annual White House correspondents’ dinner. Once Carey completed his standup routine for the 1,800 guests, President George W. Bush, noting Carey’s improv work, made a joke of his own: “Drew? Got any interest in the Middle East?” In 2003, he joined Jamie Kennedy to host the WB’s live special Play for a Billion. In September 2003, Carey led a group of comedians, including Blake Clark and the Drew Carey Show’s Kathy Kinney, on a comedy tour of Iraq.
In 2005, Carey appeared in three films: the animated film Robots, where he provided a voice-over for the character Crank; The Aristocrats where he retold a dirty joke along with other celebrities; and the documentary, Fuck, where he was interviewed.
On June 8, 2006, Drew Carey’s Sporting Adventures debuted on the Travel Channel. In this series, Carey traveled throughout Germany to photograph multiple FIFA World cup soccer games while he immerses himself in the culture of the towns and states he visits.
In September 2008, Carey began filling in as a guest DJ on Little Steven’s Underground Garage on Sirius radio.
When approached about his political views, Carey has distanced himself from conservative celebrities by emphasizing his fiscally conservative, libertarian leanings. He has expressed his distaste for the Bush administration’s management of the War in Iraq, specifically on the September 15, 2007, episode of Real Time with Bill Maher. In 2007, Carey made donations to Ron Paul’s presidential campaign. On the September 26, 2008 episode of The Late Late Show, Carey described a libertarian to host Craig Ferguson as “a conservative who still gets high.”
