At a CNN/Time Symposium yesterday, Lewis Black kind of lost it? I mean, he was right, I guess, but he kind of pulled a John McCain and blew his top:

It seems impossible to lose one’s temper while sitting next to the calming presence of Andy Cooper, but Lewis did it. As Anderson said: “Yep. Yep.”

  1. I didn’t think he went crazy at all. But I do like Videogum, a lot. So you got that going for you, which is nice.

    I give it four months before this prediction comes true: http://tinyurl.com/4gohk4

  3. I thought the real anger was going to stem from that horrible second questioner’s VOICE. UGH. Laidies, WHY do you talk like that? The blase schwa-ification of all female-pronounced vowels NEEDS TO END!! RRRGHG ANGER!!!!!

  4. I don’t think he lost it at all.

    a. That’s his schtick. He yells. A lot.
    b. He’s right. How can people say in the same breath that we have the greatest country on the planet and also that government shouldn’t be in charge of anything.

    It’s the actions of our government in the nest of times that *make* our country great.

  5. At first it was all like “Oh, typical Lewis Black”
    And then it just turned scary
    It makes me respect Anderson a lot more for just sitting there stone-faced

    this reminds me of that one time that my professor cried in class.
    just cause he has a point, doesn’t mean he didn’t lose it.

    I love that Anderson takes a sip of water from his wine glass as if thats not the most ridiculous thing to be doing…

  9. Ya, he got angry, but he didn’t descend into lunacy and quickly took accountability for being a bit irascible. On top of that, he promptly apologized.

    It wasn’t that bad – I mean, it’s not like he’s jumping on a couch proclaiming to be in love.

    Hi I am starting to become a fan of Lewis Black because from what I can tell, he speaks the truth. He yells a lot and seems like he is going over the line with things, but that is sometimes the only way that people will listen to the truth. And about the title of this clip on this website which is “Lewis Black Goes Kind Of Crazy Like For Real” I think that is completely false, no one goes crazy. Except for the man who asked the question and tried to, from what I understood blame the government. And people who make titles like this one stating that Lewis “Goes Kind Of Crazy Like For Real” is ridiculous.

    -Philip
