It gets more and more tiresome to see the hacks, wingnuts, Republican apologists, and tut-tutting purveyors of conventional wisdom (and outright bullshit artists) they feel compelled to trot out every Sunday. Was I just uninformed and naive back in the olden days when I’d watch these shows, and think I was actually getting some news and intelligent discussion? Now, it’s all I can do to read the guest lists – let alone torture myself by watching these chowderheaded urinalists and their quacking guests giggle, titter, sigh, and scoff through these shows with feigned indignation and the wink-wink, nudge-nudge of self-important “Washington Insiders.” If I have to hear these clueless, isolated, elitist bastards tell me what “the American people” want one more time, I think I’ll fucking scream. But anyways….

On Press the Meat, Timmy Potatohead tries to pretend he has any credibility whatsoever left, as he hosts a Steny Boehner “exclusive” debate on sending more kids over to Iraq (the sooner the better, too, now that they’re getting pretty good at shooting down our helicopters). Then it’s an especially dreadful collection of skags, headed by “Dean” David Broder (he’s kind of a cross between Yoda and the fluke man from the X-Files), who will be accompanied by the administration-friendly Gwen Ifill, that two-dollar whore “journalist” Howard Kurtz, and flatulent hack writer, Roger Simon. :barf: Gee, that’s worth getting up early to watch.

It isn’t much better over at Faze the Nation, with bush buddy Bobby Schieffer hosting Chris Dodd and Senator Brylcreem, Trent Lott. Plus, whiny Republican transcriptionist, John Harris.

Over at Fux News Sunday, did Pentagon officials illegally produce their own fake intelligence to justify the invasion of Iraq? Hell no, and Doug Feith will be on to prove it. Plus, weaselface Wallace hosts head Senate Republican asshole, Mitch “the prick” McConnell, on to talk about how the evil Democrat party hates our troops, and how the brave, righteous Republicans are gonna stand up and defeat them – no matter how many American kids (let alone Iraqi civilians) have to go die in Iraq to do it. Oh, there’ll be token Democrat Jack Reed from RI, for fairness and balance. Also, I hear-tell the weaselly one will talk about Republican plane envy, and Nancy Pelosi demanding a flying cruise ship.

Over at Goebbels, George Snufalufagus boasts an EXCLUSIVE with, um, John Kerry. Really? John Kerry? 😕 OK, well, then it’s former Arkansas governor and Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee Hound. He may not get the same publicity as the “top-tier” Republicans, but he’s just as fucking racist and crazy (and, since those wingnuts just can’t get enough of their fundamentalist evangelical Kristians, he’s not a bad bet for the nomination). Around the round table, it’s little Robbie Reich, ABC News whore Cokie “the Hag” Roberts and George :jerk: Will, and then Sean Penn will be on to talk about the failed court-martial of Ehren Watada.

On CNN’s Late Emission with Wolf Blitzer, it’s Ron Wyden of Oregon, batshit crazy (even for a Texas politician) John Cornyn, Duncan “Donuts” Hunter, Lt. Gen. Karl Eikenberry, former commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan (remember Afghanistan?), and everybody’s favorite Syracusan, Terry McAuliffe.

Later, on 60 Minutes, it’s Obamamania with Steve Kroft, Scott Pelley tells us about a mentally ill prison inmate who died of thirst after being restrained for 17 straight hours (a mere 15 hours past what the policy allowed), and then, you just gotta take the good with the bad. If you wanna see Norah Jones, you’ll have to suffer through Katie Couric interviewing her.

For anybody who actually gives a shit, the Grammy Awards are on after 60 Minutes, or you can watch all new episodes of the Simpsons, King of the Hill (Peggy Hill uses a Mac, by the way – just sayin’), Family Guy, and American Dad. And there are also new Dresden Files, and Battlestar Galactica. Enjoy your Sunday.
