This is a sad day, indeed.
First up, an early morning edition (due to the French Open) of Press the Meat, with Timmy Potatohead hosting Colin Powell, on to tell us how proud he is of his work as Secretary of State – especially his bullshit dog and pony show in front of the world at the UN. You should’ve resigned and blown whistle on these people 3,500 Americans and 650,000 Iraq civilians ago, Colin. Now, you’re just gonna be remembered as Bush’s Dean Rusk. Also on, two hacks from the NY Times, to talk about their new Hillary book.
Over on Faze the Nation, we get a (Tony) Snowjob, plus our Pal Joey Lieberman and the Washington Post’s Colbert King and one of the hacks from the routinely incorrect collection of hacks, Politico.com, Roger Simon.
On Fux News Sunday, it’s another Snowjob, plus Dick Durbin joins Weaselface Wallace to talk about how Bush couldn’t even keep his boys in line long enough to pass the immigration bill.
On the Goebbels Network, George Snufalufagus hits the road with Saint John McCain, and then, at the roundtable, it’s former Pentagon Spokesbitch Torie Clarke, Time’s Jay Carney and his wife, Claire Shipman, along with the masturbatory utterings of George :jerk: Will.
Wolf Blitzer’s Late Emission includes Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez, Evan Bayh, and Krazy Jon Kyl, on to talk about the immigration bill failure. Then there are Presidential candidates (at least in their own minds) Mike “Huckleberry” Huckabee, and Bill Richardson. We’ll also hear from Vladimir Putin’s Press Secretary, Dmitri Peskov (or, for you more alliterative types: President Putin’s Press Person, Peskov), and Carl “I used to be the good one” Bernstein is on to hawk his Hillary book.
Later, on 60 Minutes, Steve Kroft reports on the “No Fly List,” which includes the names of a president, dead people and common names shared by thousands of people. Then Lesley Stahl talks to Barry Diller, who brought us QVC and the Home Shopping Network, and Bob Simon tells us about the Moken people, who saw the seas recede, and headed for higher ground, thereby saving themselves from the tsunami.
But, of course, the big story today is the series finale of the Sopranos. I really hope Phil gets whacked; I don’t like him.
Enjoy your Sunday. These two-day weekends are just too damn short.
