Here at the 92nd Street Y, Andy Borowitz, Jeffrey Toobin, Calvin Trillin, Janeane Garofalo and Jonathan Alter offered their own thoughts on Obama and his first year in office. NBC Niteside was there:
“For someone not even from [this country], he’s doing an excellent job” Borowitz deadpanned. “He’s basically an exchange student.”
The New Yorker humorist and sometime-standup had the audience in stitches, denouncing President Obama for his inability to rid the high seas of bloodthirsty Somali pirates and dubbing the Republican party—after hearing Toobin call them a bunch of tax-cutting nihilists—“The Sex Pistols of politics.”
The Huffington Post was there as well, who reported that Toobin said: “Here we have a president who has only escalated one war and he gets a Nobel Peace Prize—it makes you think about how low the bar is that George Bush set.”
