It’s Republican Day here on the last day of August, as all of us who aren’t in Minneapolis/St. Paul begin a week free from the oppressive stench of the Christofascist Neocon Zombie Brigade (as long as we don’t turn on our teevees, of course).

On Press the Meat, Tom Brokaw is live from the GOP Convention with Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty on to talk about what it feels like to get passed over for VP by Sarah “Harriet Miers” Palin. Plus, Maria Bartiromo, David Gregory, Doris Kearns Goodwin, Andrea Mitchell, Mike Murphy & Kelly O’Donnell will sit around the roundtable and tell us what a maverick that John McCain is.

On one of the most nauseating Faze the Nation episodes in memory, Bush Buddy Bobby Schieffer has Mayor 9/11, Guidi Ruliani, our old pal Joey “Droopy Dog” Lieberman, the disgraced (and disgraceful) McCain advisor Carly Fiorina, and NY Times empty suit, David Brooks.

It’s the Man of the Week himself over at Fux News, as Maverick Senator, War Hero, former POW, and everybody’s favorite crazy old uncle John “POW” McCain (who was once a POW) gets interrogated by Weaselface Wallace. We can only hope that Weaselface doesn’t apply the torture tactics that McCain had to face when he a POW. Although torture IS an effective method of obtaining information as war criminal baby killer former POW McCain will happily attest to. There’s be the usual “all-star” Fuxhead panel, plus Mike Miller, director of operations, Republican National Convention.

Fux News might get the big Kahuna, but the Goebbels network gets Mrs. Kahuna (#2) as Cindy “trollop” McCain shovels on some makeup to hang out with George Snufalufagus to answer the rumors about whether St. John vetted Sarah Palin by having her nude jello wrestle with Cindy while John sat in a dark corner, watching and masturbating while George’s other guest today, L’il Lindsey Graham, shoved a broken bamboo pole into Johnny’s rectum (because that’s then only way he can get off after being a POW). John Kerry will also be on to call bullshit on the Republicans, and axis of drivel is reunited as Sam :omg: Donaldson, Cokie “the hag” Roberts, and George :jerk: Will join little Matty Dowd around the roundtable.

On CNN’s Late Emission, Wolf Blitzer pulls a Boehner, talks to Crist, and chats with Tim “no money to fix bridges” Pawlenty, as well as being joined by Fred “see, I told you you shoulda picked me” Thompson, SC cracker Governor Mark Sanford, VA cracker Eric Cantor, assistant McCain POW mentioner, Nancy Pfotenhauer, token Democrats Tom Daschle and Chris Dodd, plus the guy determined to have the Bush Administration improve to 1 for 2 on Gulf hurricanes, FEMA Administrator.

Later, on 60 Minutes, Scott Pelley interviews Barack Obama and Joe Biden, Scott Pelley reports on Hamid Karzai’s irrational demands that the U.S. military quit killing civilians in air strikes, and, quite appropriate for the opening of the GOP convention, Anderson Cooper reports that “minimally conscious people” are being re-evaluated for degrees of consciousness.

Hey, no work for me tomorrow! Have a good one.
