Here we go again.
Press the Meat might actually be interesting, as the potato-headed one hosts dismissed U.S. Attorneys David Iglesias and John McKay, plus Senate Judiciary Committee members, Dick Durbin & Arlen “why don’t you just shut the fuck up already” Specter. And then Bill Bradley is on to hawk his book.
Over on CBS, it’s pretty much the same theme, as bush buddy Bobby Schieffer hosts Pat “why doesn’t Arlen Specter just shut the fuck up already” Leahy, Lindsey “Huckleberry” Graham (both of the Senate Judiciary Committee), shitcanned US Attorney Bud Cummins, and the man who puts the “premium” in the NY Times Select, the ever craptacular David Brooks.
On Fux News Sunday, Weaselface Wallace hosts a show about – you guessed it – the fired US Attorneys, and how our brave president is standing up for truth, justice, and the American way by refusing to allow his minions to testify publicly under oath. Most people think it’s because he knows they’re going to lie, but it’s actually because he’s terrified that they’ll tell the truth. Anyhow Fuxface Wallace only rates one Senate Judiciary member, the accidental Democrat, Dianne Feinstein, but he does score an audience with Senator Brylcreem® himself, Trent Lott. Also on, former DOJ Prosecutor Sharon “Weeb” Eubanks, who was forced to throw the tobacco lawsuit because of Bush political appointee pressure.
On Goebbels, in his first interview since making the announcement that he had no announcement to make (and one of only two senators to vote against revoking the Attorney General’s authority to appoint US Attorneys without Senate approval, it’s crazy wingnut (supposed Iraq War stance or not) Chuck Hagel. And George Snufalufagus reunites the Axis of Drivel at the Roundtable, as Sam :omg: Donaldson, Cokie “the Hag” Roberts, and George :jerk: Will get together to pass the gas that passes for political commentary. Then, Lisa Ling (who, it turns out, is not a Panda bear) is on because Asian chicks are hot.
Over at Crappy News Network, Wolf Blitzer’s Late Emission includes Samir “Some Sunny Day” Sumaidaie (Iraqi Ambassador to the U.S.), Judiciary Committee member Orrin “down the” Hatch, Bill Nelson of Florida, John “coo-coo cah choo” Bolton, scumbag Lanny Davis, Mr Victoria Toestink, Joey “big pussy” DiGenova, the woman who helped to engineer a razor-thin popular vote victory of one of the smartest people in politics over one of the dumbest, Donna Brazile, former RNC Chairman, Ed “Justin, please shut that closet door” Gillespie, and CNN bottle-blonde hack, Dana Bash.
Later, on 60 Minutes, if you want to see John and Elizabeth Edwards, you’ll have to suffer through CBS Anchortwit Katie Couric doing the interview. Also, Morley Safer chats with former Tyco CEO Dennis Kozlowski (he may be in prison, but he’ll always have those memories of his wife’s birthday party in Sardinia), and Bob Simon “goes one-on-one” with “reformed” Jihadist, Hassan Butt (hey, with a name like that, who can blame him).
Of course, all this is just to kill time until the season finale of Battlestar Galactica. Two weeks to the return of the Sopranos.
Enjoy your Sunday.
