the interrogation begins
Tired of Fox News? So is The Colbert Report, who is on campus right now filming students. We caught up with a CC senior who had just been interviewed for the segment to mock Fox News making Columbia students look stupid.
“So The Colbert Report is coming on with unreasonable demands—he holds up a picture of somebody and swooshes it by really fast and asks them to name which political official it was. The humor is that Columbia students are really smart and answer correctly, and he’s trying to make a funny shot and gets pissed off. So I was just interviewed to answer what are the three branches of government. I actually got 2 of them right the first time, and then they did the shot again where I got all three of them right—he said ‘Son of a bitch!’ and stormed off.”
How many takes would it take you?

@Team Tareq He’s a cutie.
@Atticus November Is that Paul Dinello?
@Anonymous I knew he looked familiar!!!
@Composer Political Scientists and Haters,
On the first try, this young genius named the three branches of government as “Executive, Legislative, and Federal.” Of course, Federal had to be corrected to Judicial, but he is not embarrassed to have forgotten one thing that he most recently learned about six years ago.
The Music major was sure to ask for a business card, so keep your ears out for some original music on the Colbert Report in the future. I’m sorry you’re jealous that today is my lucky day.
Love,
Tareq
@Anonymous come on bro step your game up
@bro cc14 step up ur originality game brah
@lol you might want to reevaluate your liberal use of the word “genius”
@Liberal genius Takes a fool to know one! Is my swagger too liberal for you? (This hater must watch Fox…)
@Anonymous TRACK BUTTON.
awkward.
@I fully intended my identity to be obvious! And as such, I’m glad you got five thumbs-up for identifying my actions as super “awkward.” I’m amused you simpletons needed the Track button to catch the villain in the first place. Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn! http://www.linkedin.com/in/tareqabuissa/
@I'm fully aware that the track button exists
@CC15 One. It would take me one take to get the three branches of government. Ye gads.
@Anonymous That “composer” link goes to the V120 C-Team, which does not include Tareq. He co-composed V118.
@Anonymous scroll down or look up
@Maybe not Tareq? The link should go to tareq.abuissa.net/composing as far as I’m concerned!
@V118, my baby The only time Bwog comments were nice:

@just sayin' If this Columbia senior doesn’t even know the three branches of government, doesn’t this article basically prove Fox News was right in the end?
@Anonymous would you really recognize the representative from the 2nd district of Kansas if that was the official the CR represented the legislative branch with? jackass!
@Tareq Agreed, and I’m an unpolitical person. Nobody forced me to admit to Bwog that I missed a branch on the first try.
@Alum Some students are from countries where the governments are structured differently. Just sayin’.
@Anonymous yes, but they should still know the basics of the government of the country they live and study in
@Yea right I’d love to quiz the American Columbia students that stumble around Barcelona at 5 in the morning, “culturally enriching themselves,” on the Spanish branches of government…
@Anonymous Tareq is from Iowa, United States of America
@WTF every one should at least be able to name the three branches of government
@I'll do me And you do you
@Agreed! So can you please name the three branches of the government in Australia ??
@- but we’re in the US (and even the foreign students at Columbia spend a number of years studying in this country)
@Duh They’re the same. Except upside down.
