If for some reason you don&#8217;t get enough of St. John on Press the Meat, you can tune in to Part II on CBS&#8217;s Faze Nation with Bush Buddy Booby Schieffer.<\/p>\n<p>On Fux News Sunday, Weaselface Wallce has Huckleberry Huckabee, and the magic underwear mannequin, Mitt Romney.  Plus the usual Fux news assholes, of course.  <\/p>\n<p>The HuckaMitt festival continues on over at the Goebbels network on This Weak.  George Snufalufagus also hosts John Edwards, and then there&#8217;s a roundtable of Sam :omg: Donaldson, political mastermind Donna Brazile, Cokie &#8220;the hag&#8221; Roberts and George :jerk: Will.  Whoopie.  <\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not quite full of the Huck just yet, you can catch him on Wolf Blitzer&#8217;s Late Emission, along with free market savior Ron Paul, Bill Richardson, and Pakistani Ambassador to the U.S., Mahmud Ali Durrani (I think he&#8217;s one of the Republican third-tier candidates, polling somewhere behind Ron Paul, but ahead of Grampa Fred).<\/p>\n<p>Later, on 60 Minutes, Lara Logan talks to Pervez Musharraf, who tells us it&#8217;s Benazir Bhutto&#8217;s own damn fault she got (take your pick) shot\/hit with shrapnel\/hit her head on the sunroof\/died of natural causes.  Steve Kroft gives airtime to Boston mob triggerman John Martorano, who explains why and how he murdered 20 people (let me guess; it was just business).  And Mike Wallace talks to Roger Clemens, because we apparently give a shit whether or not he used performance-enhancing drugs (Roger, not Mike).<\/p>\n<p>But, who gives a shit about all that?  Tonight is the final season premiere of The Wire, on HBO.  Have a good one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Press the Meat today, Timmy Potatohead subjects us to St. John McCain.
