On Press the Meat this week, Michael Steele gets a permission slip from Rush Limbaugh to visit the show, as long as he sticks to Rush’s script. Also on, the DNC’s Tim Kaine, and a roundtable with the Council on Foreign Relations’ Richard Haass, Newsweek’s Jon Meacham, Wall Street Journal’s Piggy Peggy Noonan, and the National Journal’s Ron Brownstein.

Over at CBS’s Faze the Nation, it’s creepy downstate NY congressman Peter King, the ACLU’s Anthony Romero, CBS’s John Dickerson, and Joan Biskupic of USA Today (what, nobody from People MAgazine was available?).

On Fux News Sunday, Weaselface Wallace hosts a “fair and balanced” debate between Richard McBrien and Frank Pavone, on whether Notre Dame should stoop to honoring abortion rights advocate Barack Obama. For you high and mighty Catholics out there, might I suggest that you quit buggering altar boys (and covering up the buggery) before you cast stones at others?

As for Notre Dame in general, I have two things to say to you:

First, FUCK YOU and your use of an Irish American as your mascot, thereby both dehumanizing Irishmen, and perpetuating the racial stereotype that the Irish are thick-skulled ignorant brutish fighters. I ought to kick your asses.

Second, you lost to Syracuse – at Notre Dame in front of Touchdown fucking Jesus in football last year. Yeah, Syracuse, who lost to Akron at home last year (no offense to Kevin or the Zips). Suck on that, you assholes.

Also on Fux, Senator Mitch McConnell steps out of his closet, and “Power Player of the Week” Patty Stonesifer, chair of the Smithsonian Board of Regents. And to Patty, I have one thing to say: pay your goddamn summer interns, bitch.

On the Goebbels network, George Snufalufagus hosts a “debate” between Krazy Jon Kyl and Jim Webb, on whether or the US is safer under Obama. Hmm. Let’s see, Bush/Cheney, under whose reign more Americans were killed as a result of terrorist attacks than all other presidential administrations combined vs. Obama, who is actually not – yet- despised by most of the world. Tough call.

Then it’s a roundtable with George :jerk: Will, James “cupie doll” Carville, the Nation’s Katrina vanden Heuvel, Political wizard Steve Schmidt (senior adviser to John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign), and the spawn of evil, Liz Cheney.

On CNN, India’s version of the Chuckie Doll, Fareed Zakaria, hosts former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf.

Later, on 60 Minutes, Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates discusses the war in Afghanistan with consummate journalist Katie Couric, Steve Kroft talks to AIG’s Ed Liddy, and Morley Safer talks to somebody named Anna Wintour, who is apparently famous for her sunglasses, though I’m proud to say I haven’t a clue as to who the hell she is.

Have a good one, y’all.
