He answered that like a lizard who knows how to lie about it

quote [ He asks him outright, over and over: "Are you a lizard? Are you a lizard person?" to which Rumsfeld responds, "Here's the short answer," before telling a pretty lengthy, seemingly unrelated story about how people recognize him in public, pay for his dinners at restaurants and ask for handshakes and autographs. ]

Louie C.K. asks Donald Rumsfeld 'if he's a lizard" and "if he eats mexican babies" on radio show. Rumsfeld never denies either.

Wow, what a story. If only Jay Leno weren't jerking himself off in the background the whole time.

Oh, come on.

You can say that about any Jay Leno video.

the skipping, high-pitched giggling is very offputting...

Krutz said @ 3:05am GMT on 27th Feb
God, yes.

I have a really hard time believing other comedians who claim Leno was actually good and edgy back when he was an up-and-comer.

I think part of Rummy's book contract is that he has to make PR appearances.

Part of his mission from the lizard overlords, you mean.

V wasn't just a movie, it was two miniseries and a regular series in the '80s, and a new series currently airing.

I so loved the miniseries when I was a wee geek. This scene especially creeped me out:

I didn't like the series as much, mostly because I liked the alien voices that were (I guess) too expensive for a regular show.

I kind of figured that's what would happen if Kermit and Miss Piggy ever tried to have offspring.

OMG. I remember seeing that scene when I was three or four years old. Some time ago it somehow sprung into memory again, but when I asked my parents about it, they couldn't remember, and I wasn't very lucky finding info on the web either. SE to the rescue! Thank you, sir!

I love me some Louis CK, but this is just dumb. The wrongs Donald Rumsfeld is responsible for far outreach this kind of silliness. You don't ask Justin Bieber about reproductive rights and you don't have Rumsfeld interviewed by morning radio comedians.

sacrelicious said @ 4:35pm GMT on 26th Feb
he get's into some better, hard-hitting questions ("what was it like to meet that guy that was later hung in a dark room [sadam hussein]?", "how many people have you met who've been hung?")

He must have met John Holmes.

Mad March Harris said @ 8:11pm GMT on 26th Feb
It's ridiculous how he never even bothers denying it. And moreover, he doesn't even go "what?", Rumsfeld just rolls off it like CK just asked if he had ever been recognized in public. You'd think out of reflex his response to "Are you a lizard person who eats mexican babies?" would at least be "huh?".

Krutz said @ 8:35pm GMT on 26th Feb
Rummy is too used to only asking questions he answers himself.

only a lizard who eats mexican babies would respond with anything but a "huh?"

profetscott said @ 9:16pm GMT on 26th Feb
Unless the dialog has been altered since you listened to it, after he was asked, he said," Not in a New York minute." then started the story. Then if he is a lizard person from outerspace, they probably changed the audio

sacrelicious said @ 9:30pm GMT on 26th Feb
space lizards often do that just before they eat mexican babies.

also, "n't uhn ahnuw yarkmn ute" is space-lizardese for "I'll have my mexican baby medium rare, thank you."

"Wa'roon t'ra, wa'run erak" translates idiomatically, but not literally to "why can't we just get along?"

Ankylosaur said @ 2:46am GMT on 27th Feb
Literally it translates to "let us eat Mexican babies together".

Reminds me of a sci-fi short story about a species of crystals that used "baby-eater" as their word for "good".
