“Up In Smoke” actor Tommy Chong appeared Wednesday on Fox’s “Outnumbered” as a rather unconventional panelist for the conservative show.
Chong, the day’s “One Lucky Guy” among four women panelists, criticized the conservative media’s coverage of comments made by Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber about “the stupidity of the American voter.”
“To me it’s just another attack on Obamacare, from another angle,” Chong said. “Sounds like Benghazi all over again.”
When pressed about the Democrats’ response to Gruber’s comments, Chong reminded his hosts about another famous and elitist comment from across the aisle.
“Did I remember a guy named — what was it — Mitt Romney said something about 47-percent –” before co-host Andrea Tantaros reminded him to “stay on topic.”
While Tantaros was incredulous that Democrats lied about knowing Gruber, Chong remained unfazed.
“It’s called politics,” Chong said. “American politics are based on lies.”

“It’s called politics,” Chong said. “American politics are based on lies.”
If only he’d continued that sentence with …“just like this here network we’re on.”

I’m sure she did. Can’t have you pointing out hypocrisy with examples. Honestly I’m fairly surprised they had Tommy Chong on, digging pretty deep in that well there.
And just like other Fox News faux scandals from the past couple of years, Jon Stewart is totally going to do his part to play along, just to prove that he’s totally independent and not beholden to partisan spin and propaganda and stuff.
FOX is desperate to find a scandal- any scandal- that will harm Obama.
Bet he won’t be invited back!
He’s a great guy, and if I were him I’d still be fucking pissed at the treatment he got from the Bush administration. Hell, I’m sure he’s still pissed about that.
