Liberal Repercussion

Triumph, Terry Gross and NPR bend Bill the Shill O'Reilly over and give him the bone. If you don't know Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, he arguably the most offensive puppet out there, and among the funniest.

It's even funnier when you listen to it... starter link above. Archived in 11/21/03 audio files.

Terry: Do you feel like you've been sexist or condescending in your treatment of female dogs?

Triumph: Holy Christ! Listen to this! Let me ask you something? I feel like I'm being bombarded here.

I know what's happening here! I know what's happening here! Did you ask the same questions to Kermit the Frog? Did you do this?

Terry: Kermit didn't do our show.

Triumph: All right, well Ok, how about when Beethoven did your show? Did you challenge him the way you're challenging me?

Terry: It was a different kind of interview. It was a different kind of interview. Beethoven was funny.

Triumph: Oh, is that right? It's satire what Beethoven does! I'm just... you know I can't believe the government is paying for this interview. That's what I can't believe , you know.

My money that that could go be going to Pekinese hookers is instead going to this, you know, public radio show that is obviously more slanted than my BEEP after I BEEP a Saint Bernard. That's what we're talking about.

Terry: Triumph, I don't think you're being fair I think if you gave public radio a chance you wouldn't feel this way. I think public radio has always been fair to the dog world.

Triumph: I'm trying to give it a chance, but you keep bombarding me. You keep bombarding me. I'm evaluating this interview very closely. That's what I'm doing.

You know, this is 10 minutes of defamations; 70 minutes in dog-years!

You think it's fair Terri? You need to go into another business! That's right!

No, good, this is going to be fodder for Harpers Magazine, for Dog Fancy magazine which I know is liberally... its, the liberal publishers of Dog Fancy.. I mean, that thing is like gay porn anyway.

Terry: Well, Triumph I really don't think you're being fair, I'm going to change the subject.

Triumph: Good because I'm not going to walk out of this interview.

Terry: No, good...

Triumph: No, I'm not going to do that, I'm better than that. But I'm going to take a poop right now. I'm going to poop in this studio right now.

Terry: I think that's fair, I think you should control yourself.

Triumph: Well it's already happening. It's already happening.
