What a great Marc show last night. OK, I’m just guessing it was a great show; I wrote this ahead of time. A big thank you to Melina for allowing us to descend upon her home, and for putting up with us so we could go to the show. I really wish we could stay for the Comedy Central taping tonight, but we gotta get back to check on the dog, and make sure his grandparents didn’t lose him or anything.
As for today’s talking head lineup, here’s all I have:
On Press the Meat, it’s N.O. Mayor Ray Nagin, plus David Paulison of FEMA, to explain what a heckuva job their doing. Then, it’s the traitor, Count Novakula (why would you possibly have this asshole on any legitimate show; oh, that’s right, it’s Timmuh), batshit crazy Kate O’Beirne (yet another waste of air), Mr. Judy Woodruff, Al Hunt, and Eugene Robinson (presumably the WaPost coulmnist, and not the former NFL player).
Over at Faze the Nation, it’s David Paulison once again (I reckon it’ll be a Katrina kinda day all over), plus Haley Barbour (which sounds like it ought to be a hot babe, but unfortunatley is just the Republican twerp Governor of Mississippi).
On This Weak with George Snufalufagus, it’s an “exclusive” with Brownie himself, as well as Senator Mary Landrieu, plus the Federal Coordinator for Gulf Coast Rebuilding, Don Powell. Then, in possibly the only thing worth watching before the season (or is it the series?) finale of Deadwood, it’s Bill Nye the Science Guy, who isn’t afraid to tell it like it is about Pluto (no, not a cartoon character expos&eaccute;, but the Pluto formerly known as a planet).
On Fux News Sunday, weaselfaced prick (or is it prickfaced weasel?) Chrissy Wallace has Don Powell, N.O. City Council President Oliver Thomas, Senator Joe “what is it with Seantors named Joe, anyway?” Biden, and Steve Case, co-founder of AOL.
On CNN’s Late Emission, the wolfman has Nouri al-Maliki (for our neocon lurkers, that’s Iraq’s Prime Minister), falling short of Michael Powell’s record, but giving it a good run, it’s Donald Powell (again), plus the distrubingly named Dick Lugar, Carl Levin, and LA Gov., Kathleen “the Babineaux” Blanco.
Later, on 60 Minutes, it looks like a full hour of Ray Nagin, as he gives Byron Pitts (I guess 60 Minutes’ regular black guy, Ed Bradley, is on vacation or something) a tour of how the reconstruction is going in New Orleans (BTW, if you haven’t seen Spike Lee’s documentary on HBO – I’ve only gotten through Parts I & II myself – it aint real easy watching – you should see if you can get hold of it).
Then of course there is the aforementioned Deadwood finale, plus new episodes of the 4400 and the Dead Zone (or you can watch a documentary on the Military Channel – I liked it better when that was the Discovery Wings channel – about “our” guys – the 10th Mountain Division, based at Fort Drum in Watertown, NY, and who have had the privilege of being deployed to both Iraq and Afghanistan, and have taken their share of casualties).
Have a good Sunday.
