Ah, Sunday, and another round of talking heads on the teevee.
Hey, what’s this? Something potentially worth watching on Press the Meat? Timmuh has Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Pat Roberts, former Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Peter Hoekstra, and Ranking Member Jane Harman, all of whom received briefings from the Bushies on the NSA illegal spying program before the story became public (as you may recall, they were all sworn to secrecy). Gee, even with Mister Potatohead running the show, this might actually be worth watching. Daschle’s out – will he have the guts to tell it like it is? Or at least was? We shall see.
Bobby “Bush Buddy” Schieffer has our helmet headed Secretary of State, plus Howard Dean and Elizabeth Bumiller from the New York Times. Well, Howard’s been pretty interesting lately. He really gets the freepers frothing, and that’s worth it right there.
Ah, here’s more what we’re used to. Over at ABC, George Snufalufagus has Helmethead Rice, Meathead Joe Biden, Lynn “Uncle Tom” Swann, and Sigourney Weaver talking about heart health (here’s a tip, try not to let aliens hatch in your chest). A bit of a changeup on the regular Roundtable weenies, though. We still have George :jerk: Will, but this week he’s joined by David Gergen and the woman who did such a bang-up job running the Kerry campaign, Donna “just ignore those swift boat guys” Brazile.
Fux News Sunday with Weenie Wallace will talk about what a wonderful job the Führ – oops, I mean President did on saving Los Angeles from the packs of flying shoe bombers. Then they’ll have LA Mayor Villaraigosa on, so they can taunt him. They’ll also have VA Republican Redneck Senator George Allen, and Jack Reed (the other Senator MBNA), and – ooh, this could be interesting, Rev. Joseph “Standing Ovation” Lowery and Ron “You think Lynn Swann is an Uncle Tom, you should see me” Christie.
On 60 Minutes, Steve Kroft tries to find out where our $50 billion (so far) for reconstruction work in Iraq was spent and why $8.8 billion of it is unaccounted for, Lesley Stahl looks at why the “culture of life” and dubya figure it’s better to destroy 400,000 unused human embryos every day in fertility clinics, rather than allow them to be used in Stem Cell research, and Mike “God my son’s an asshole” Wallace talks to some of the kids who’ve come back from Iraq after being severely wounded in combat.
Oh, and CNN has guests from CNN on to talk about how important CNN is.
Happy Birthday, Abe!
