It’s Sunday, but not a bad one, ‘cuz I took tomorrow off. I have to work Tues, Wed, and Fri, so I figured I owed it to myself to not have to deal with a Monday this week.
On Press the Meat today, it’s Obama senior adviser David Axelrod, plus a roundtable on the achievements of the outgoing Bush administration, and the failure of the Obama administration with the National Review’s Rich Lowry, Vanity Fair’s Todd Purdum, the Washington Post’s Michelle Singletary & Newsweek’s Richard Wolffe.
Last week on Faze the Nation, it was a New York kinda day, with Gerry Ferraro (isn’t her 15 minutes – her second 15 minutes, in fact – up already?), Democrat Gary Ackerman, Republicans Peter King and Tom Reynolds (token Upstater, from Sean’s neck of the woods), NYC Schools Chancellor Joel Klein (be interested to hear Sue’s opinion of him), and NY1 news guy, Dominic Carter (who- at the time – was the only person to have gotten an interview with her highness, Lady Caroline of Kennedy, so far). This week? Beats me, they don’t bother to update their website. Maybe Katie Couric is paying off Bob Schieffer’s web guy or something.
But who cares about CBS anyway, when Fux News Sunday and Weaselface Wallace have an exclusive interview with Pickles Bush, on to answer the rumors that she’s signed a 7-figure deal to be the next Zoloft spokesperson. Plus, a different bunch of fuxheads than usual, but fuxheads nonetheless.
Over on the Goebbels network, George Snufalufagus is on vacation, so ABC News schmuck Jake Tapper will be taking over the duties (by the way, Tapper isn’t his real name; it’s a nickname he earned back during his days as an aviation reporter in Minneapolis). Speaking of tappers, Jake is joined by Republican Bob Corker of Tennessee. Also on will be Sherrod Brown of Ohio, incoming White House press secretary Robert Gibbs (who will get some advice from the likes of Dana “Cuban Missile Whut?” Perino, snotty Scotty McClellan, and Joe Lockhart). Plus, it’s the first :jerk: -less roundtable in recent memory, with PRI Studio 360’s Kurt Andersen, Slate’s John “don’t call me Emily” Dickerson, NPR newsbabe Alison Stewart, and David Brody of the Jesus Channel.
It’s a Late Emission year-end retrospective at CNN, as U-Boat commander Wolf Blitzer has past interviews with Barack Obama, John McCain, Sarah Palin, Bill Gates, Condoleezza Rice “and a lot more.” More than Condi and Caribou Barbie? How is that even possible?
Later, on 60 Minutes, the entire hour is devoted to the campaign and election of Barack Obama, with 60 Minutes segments, interviews with Obama, his family, and advisers, and “never before seen footage” (like, what, Obama with Bigfoot or something?).
Have a good Sunday everybody.
