Bob Schieffer's Monocle

"Monocles are funny." "YOUR PRESIDENT IS A FASCIST!" Way to not overreact.

How the hell do those things stay on!?

i want a monocle

Moore may wear an asymetrical eyepiece but at least he can remove it. The same cannot be said of Schieffer's ears.

Bob Schieffer = LEGEND They only genuine, down to earth, newsman with integrity. Too bad he's not around as much anymore. Couric is horrible.

That was a short, quick, deftly put, lucid counter-argument and I love it.

LEAVE PATRICK MOORE ALONE!!!

The Wal-Mart mentality does not conceive of wearing an eye glass.

*Runs by with a star trailing a rainbow, and makes that music*

Ahem. 20,000th view; a pity it's lagging for me, though.

i think that thing in his eye is cool

Y'know, funny you should mention Wal-Mart here: I went to Wal-Mart several months ago to have my own monocle's lens replaced with a clear one because mine works as a magnifying glass instead of an actual eyepiece. And do you know what they said to me? That they couldn't do it, that they could not have the lens replaced: how absurd.

i asked for a monocle for christmas

Bob schafer was just jealous because he can't pull of the monocle look anymore.

Bob Schieffer is cool!

Sir Toppington von Monocle says: You know its bad when a 70 year old is too cool for a monocle and mocks you. Sir, one day you too will wake up wearing a top hat and monocle and say...."Curses!"

@NewsLaughs Your comment made it sounds like US people have little knowledge about things outside their own country.

he's german, that's y

Uh, the last time Sir Patrick Moore was on TV? How many celestial bodies have been named after -you-, news boy?

@watercolour Surely no-one would ever suggest such a thing...

@shakeyphil Your from England dude, all your television and newspapers are full of shit. I hear this - from English people - that most of your newspapers are full of lies cause no one bothers to read them over your partisan-hacks in television news.

@Rjmorg That's not true. The newspapers can be pretty bad, yes, but that's because they're run by private companies. The BBC, however, is funded by the state and almost entirely unbiased thanks to not having to resort to sensationalism to attract viewers. Also, if you've never lived in Britain (which is, in fact, what you mean when you say 'England') then you can't make this statement. I've heard that all of the US' media is full of shit. I don't pretend to know if it's true, having never been.

@thecommabandit Ever hear of charlie brookers screen wipe?

a dinosaur with a monocle is better. Oh and a tuxedo and nifty top hat

@Rjmorg HAHA Yes... of course, and by the nature of this statement you are stating that American media is not full of shit? ALL Newspapers are full of shit! they can't sell good news, so its death, disease, nazi's and communists. And on page 3 of the sun newspaper each day, we get a pair of tits to stare at, which is classy and not an old, squashed stiff news reporter who try's to stick his face everywhere. Monocles are a sign of intelligence and integrity, which is why america has'nt seen them.

@NewsLaughs What if you're allergic to peanuts? Wouldn't that mean that Mr. Peanut is killing people too? Just a thought.

@shakeyphil: You don't have to act like a bitch!

Monocle or not, I find it funny that someone who dedicates his life to finding life beyond the stars can't stand his own species if they come from another country.

lmao, i remember seeing this live, and i was laughing so hard!!! you didnt expect him to say what you're thinking!! lol

If you are a fan of monocles, come take a look at the "Monocle Movement" on facebook, "like" us and be a part of Facebook's largest Monocle advocacy group!!

Don't diss Sir Patrick Moore, he has more intelligence in his Monocle than you have period!

god damn it get that man a pipe and a top hat at once

Last time I saw a monocle Jack the Ripper was tearing out women's intestines

I always wear a monocle to important events, so people will think I'm a big deal. Just the other day I went to a really important job interview and I wore sixteen monocles just to really impress them.

He has passed now

Hey, Bob. Hush up. On behalf of myself and all monocle wearing men.

Bob Schieffer is one of the best ever!
Always great to see his programs like Face The Nation!
American news programs are the best!

Monocles deserve a comeback.

This is a classic clip. lol

Since wen monocles are something to laugh about..I sey this is preposterous. Monocles are not for fashion. More like a sine of dis ability. Although monocles throu thee ages have been recognized as a sine of prestige and A class (fore some reason).................................................................................................................................................................

How like an American to make fun of a genius for no reason.

Bob is a roughouser. Why make a facicious remark?

There is literally no reason to wear a monacle nowadays

Finally found it. I saw this when it aired.

I remember watching this live. He got quite a chuckle out of that monocle.

Couldn’t love this clip more. Priceless.

It was good to see Bob getting a laugh.

Bob asks the questions that matter!

Hysterical every time I watch this! Love that Bob!

Bob should have gotten the CBS Evening News after Uncle Walter was forced out at 65.
