Today on Press the Meat, it’s African-American day, as Gilligan Gregory hosts Bill Cosby & Dr. Alvin Poussaint, co-authors of “Come On, People: On the Path from Victims to Victors,” D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty & Maxine Waters (D-CA). Plus, can Obama’s stimulus package save the economy? Former Rep. David Bonior of Michigan, Wall Street Journal hack Paul Gigot, CNBC putz John Harwood, Vanity Fair’s Bethany McLean and Economy.com’s Mark Zandi will pretend to have all the answers.
On Faze the Nation, it’s the man of the hour (or not), Roland Burris. Plus Bush Buddy Bobby Schieffer pops a Boehner, and Dick (no way we’ll seat Burris, unless maybe we will) Durbin is along for the ride as well.
Over at Fux News, Weaselface Wallace is off this week, so he’s leaving the show in the capable lips of Brit Hume, on to suck off the Bushs one last time (hopefully for the last time, at least) with a two-fer: Poppy Bush and his idiot son, Georgie. Plus the usual fuxheads, of course.
At the Goebbels network, George Snufalufagus has President-elect Barack Obama, on how he’s going to fix the big steaming pile of shit dubya is leaving him, and then there’s a roundtable with the disgraced and irrelevant (if only theses media people would realize it) Newt Gingrich, Tom “idiot” Friedman, the ever-disgusting Peggy Noonan, and, of course, George :jerk: Will.
Later, on 60 Minutes, Steve Kroft reports on the price of oil, David Martin profiles Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mike Mullen, and Scott Pelley profiles Wyclef Jean, who is apparently somebody rich and famous, and trying to use his wealth to help his native county, Haiti.
Granny is off to the big Single Payer heath rally in Albany today, so I guess I’m stuck alone with the dogs, forced to spend the day watching the NFL Playoffs all day. In preparation for next week’s season premiere, there’s a Big Love mini-marathon on HBO tonight, with six back-to-back episodes starting at 7:00 Eastern. If you’ve been missing your torture porn, you’re in luck, as the new season of 24 premieres on Fox tonight at 8:00 Eastern time.
Enjoy your Sunday, everybody.
