Whoopie, it’s the bobbleheads. Thanks to Wimbledon, you’ll have to get up a little early to watch Press the Meat. My advice? Sleep in. But if you’re some schmuck stuck in a dorm somewhere and can’t sleep, Guest host Andrea “I use preparation H instead of Oil of Olay” Mitchell hosts North Korea talk, as we struggle to understand why Iraq with no WMD’s (and no actual threat to the US of A) was an immediate danger, while the only person in the world that makes Michelle Malkin look only slightly fucking nuts gets to celebrate the fourth (or whatever) of July with actual missles. Guests include Nicholas Burns (who is apparently under the Secretary of State – better him than me, though I could use something to keep my beer cold), plus a few people from an administration that actually did something about North Korea, Bill Richardson, Ashton Carter (isn’t he married to Demi Moore?), and Robert Gallucci.
On Faze the Nation, guess what? It’s the same shit! Nicky Burns gets out from under secretary of state long enough to join bush buddy Bobby Scheiffer, this time to be joined by John “Maverick” McCain, and Senator from CT that’s not gonna run as an “individual democrat,” Chris Dodd.
Over on This Weak with George Snufalufagus – you guessed it – it’s North Korea! Must be North Korea Day (reminds me of an episode of M*A*S*H, where people kept coming to the 4077th with ID cards that said their names were Kim Luk, and Hawkeye said, “another Kim Luk? Well, this must be my Kim Luky day”). George has Dick Lugar (sounds like something really nasty you’d find in the drinking fountain, doesn’t it?), plus a story on racist asshole George Allen vs. James Webb, and at the roundtable, it’s editor of the New Republic Peter “Oops,maybe Iraq wasn’t such a great idea, afterall, biut I still love Joe Libermann” Beinart, Donna “nice job neutering Al Gore so we got dubya instead” Brazile, and George :jerk: Will. Plus, he’s big, he’s black, and he’s got a shiny new kidney – it’s Alonzo Mourning (sorry, but I have an automatic dislike for anyone who played hoops at Georgetown; not an actual dislike, of course, just a “sports” dislike, and his kidney was actually installed in December ’03, so it’s not all that new, though it would probably be shiny, unless you let it dry out). By the way, Alonzo? Just kidding, and I hope you can take a joke, but if not, my name is Geroge, and you can find me at 1600 PA Avenue. Just hop over the fence, and tell ’em you’re there to see me.
CNN’s Late Emission with Wolf Blitztheredonethat continues the North Korean theme with Nick “now that I’m finally out from under secretary of state, I’m gonna make the most of it” Burns Lindsey “la poof” Graham, Barbara “I heart Joey” Boxer, Iraq’s ambassador to the US, Samir Sumaidaie (obvioulsy a fake name), Al “I’m in charge” Haig, Zbigniew “talk about an assumed name” Brzezinski, and Peter Bergen, plus Fouad Makhzoumi, chairman of the Future Pipe (as in pipeline) Group and (surprise, surprise), board member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
On Fux News Sunday, weaselfacedoes the North Korea thin (are you getting as tired of this as I am?), with, you guessed it, Nick Burns, Pete “Crazy Fuck” Hoekstra, James “I eat puppies for breakfast” Woolsey, and Wendy “the bitch” Sherman.
Later, on 60 Minutes, it’s a slightly different twist on North Korea, as Scott Pelley interviews Charles Jenkins (former soldier who deserted to North Korea), then Steve Kroft investigates why $8.8 billion of reconstruction money in Iraq is unaccounted for (shocked – I’m shocked, I say!). Then Ed Bradley talks about Derek Jeter because baseball is such a compelling news story. :yawn:
New Deadwood for the non-HBO challenged, and for the rest of us, it’s the 4400, and The Dead Zone.
Have a good Sunday.
