Another snark, another Sunday.
Today, Timmy Potatohead hosts the “future of the Democratic Party.” No, not Joe Lieberman (good guess though). It’s Senator Barack Obama, apparently (according to Time Magazine, anyway). Then an even worse “Roundtable” discussion than usual, with tired old has-been and WaPost “senior” hack, David Broder, WSJ hack John Harwood, pollster Charlie Cook, and Count Novakula. I think I’ll pretend it’s next week, and sleep in an extra hour or so.
Over at Faze the Nation, Bob Schieffer hosts Chucky Schumer, and icky Liddy “no wonder Bob needs Viagra” Dole, along with Amy Walter of the Cook Political Report.
On Fux News Sunday, fuxface Chris Wallace hosts a discussion on how dear leader did such a great job with those evil old North Koreans, with a buncha worthless Senators – Dick Lugar, John Warner, and Senator MBNA. Plus Carl Levin, who isn’t as worthless as the rest of them (IMHO). Then weaselface has Richard Branson, who I hope will offer send the whole damn bunch of them into orbit – and leave them there.
Wolf Blitzer’s Late Emission has a typically fair and balanced™ show, with Bill the Cat (killer) Frist on to answer the question, “will Republicans hold Congress, or will the world go up in a big mushroom cloud?” Plus, batshit crazy (and nowhere near as good looking as Liddy Dole) Kay Bailey Hutchison and Jack Reed of Rhode Island, will be on to “debate strategy in Iraq.” I guess Hutchison will argue that the Bush administration has a strategy. Other fairly imbalanced guests include Al “I have assumed control” Haig, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Stormin’ Norman Ornstein, Mikey Allen of Time, and Andrea “my Dad’s Ted” Koppel.
There might be a good reason to end the boycott of the Goebbels Broadcasting Network, but This Weak with George Snufalufagus sure as hell isn’t it. First, there’s an “exclusive” with dear leader himself, and then it’s John “don’t blame me I voted for” Kerry. Next, the axis of drivel is reunited, with George :jerk: Will, Cokie “the hag” Roberts, and the man with the worst toupee in the business, Sam :omg: Donaldson. Then it’s a hard-hitting news piece, as Kelly Kulick discusses her passion for bowling. Yes, Kelly has apparently broken the glass, um, bowling ball, and become the first woman to qualify for a full season on the PBA tour. I’ll bet she even has her own shoes.
Later, on 60 Minutes, Lesley Stahl profiles Nancy Pelosi (they’re teasing this story as her maybe possibly being two heartbeats away from the presidency if the Democrats take back the House; wishful thinking, or are they trying to scare the Republicans?). Then, Steve Kroft tells us how millions have been stolen from Iraq’s treasury. The Bush admnistration declined to comment, at least until they’re done distributing it to Halliburton. Finally, Scott Pelley tracks down “Jacob,” who fled his village in Darfur to escape mass murder – leaving his family behind. Well, hopefully there’ll be wacky commentary on paperclips or something from Andy Rooney to pick us all up after that one.
Have an enjoyable Sunday.
