It’s the first Booblehead Sunday of the Obama Administration. On Press the Meat, Larry Summers will be on to give us the economic forecast (shitty today, with things expected to turn shittier tomorrow). Then John “Poppa” Boehner will be in to tell us how we’re all going to die now that Obama has outlawed torture and is closing Git’mo. Then it’s a roundtable on how President Obama’s administration has failed, with Tom “my head is flat” Friedman, The Weekly Standard’s Senior Putz, Setphen Hayes, and this week’s post-Obama token non-white guy, Michele Norris of NPR.
Over at CBS, Bob Schieffer has Joe Biden, on to talk about today’s Syracuse-Louisville basketball game. And maybe some government-type stuff, too.
At Fux News, Weaselface Wallace and John McCain talk fisting, and Chuck Schumer will also be on to talk about what a pleasure it’ll be to have Upstate Blue Dog shiksa Kirsten Gillibrand in the Senate with him, and the usual group of fuxheads will be on to talk trash about Caroline Kennedy, Barack Obama, and America in general.
On the Goebbels Network’s This Weak, George Snufalufagus and Nancy Pelosi will share Botox tips, and discuss how Nancy will “reign in” the new President. Then the Axis of Drivel is reunited again, as Sam :omg: Donaldson, Cokie “the hag” Roberts, and George :jerk: Will are joined by disgraced former HP CEO (and McCain adviser who – at least in some small way – helped deliver the White House to Barack Obama), Carly Fiorina and Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman (who I think we’re allowed to like again, now that we’ve put all that Hillary Clinton animosity behind us).
Later, on 60 Minutes, Scott Pelley tells us how Wilmington, OH is screwed, now that their largest employer, DHL, is shutting down its domestic operation (welcome to the club, Wilmington – aren’t you all glad you helped get Bush that second term?), Bob Simon reports on how the two-state solution is dead in Israel (I say we take all the Sudanese refugees, move them into the region, and tell the Israelis and the Palestinians that this is their home now. Sorry), and Morley Safer reports that scientists have found a substance – called resveratrol – in red wine that slows down the aging process in mice.
If Granny was a mouse, she’d live forever!
Have a good Sunday, y’all.
So, PJ, do you actually watch these shows on a perfectly good day off?
Almost never. Last week, I caught David Brooks on PTM, and would have thrown a brick through the teevee if I’d had one handy.
Right now, I’m watching “Living with Ed” on Planet Green.
Rick through the TV
I use the BBHD THRD to see if there is anything I might want to see and then probably watch too much anyway.By Sunday morning I have probably already seen the 3 or 4 on public TV.
I usually can’t stand the Sunday talk shows but I love PJ’s descriptions of them. The “Axis of Drivel” so perfectly describes the George, Cokie and Sam talkfest and today’s solution for the Sudanese refugees hits the mark in so many ways.
i read pj’s Sunday’s Synopsis to see if anything is worth watching. :sammy:
This whole close Gitmo controversy is such a a pile of garbage. The arguments the right is using actually demonstrates the BushCrime Family’s failures. Closing Gitmo does not mean terrorists will run free wildly through our Nation’s streets. These are such intellectually dishonest arguments that I, too, want to throw bricks at the teevee. Brown (can’t remember her first name) on cnn was trying to hype this up. thank heavens channels can be changed so quickly.
Speaking of idiotic things:
Goats prefer Mazdas!
At Fux News, Weaselface Wallace and John McCain talk fisting
Talk is cheap. We want action! Just don’t make me watch it. :barf:
Later, on 60 Minutes, Scott Pelley tells us how Wilmington, OH is screwed, now that their largest employer, DHL, is shutting down its domestic operation (welcome to the club, Wilmington – aren’t you all glad you helped get Bush that second term?)
I feel bad for the people of Wilmington, but fuck DHL. Desperately Horribly Late. And that’s when (if?) the mail actually arrives. The one thing they were consistently good at was losing shit. Good riddance.
As for political shows, I much prefer PBS on Friday nights, with NOW On PBS (Maria Hinojosa :hot: :hot: :hubba: ) and Bill Moyers Journal. Moyers had David Sirota and Thomas Frank this week. One of the Tampa PBS stations (we have two) also has a local panel show that is usually pretty good.
And total agreeance that reading PJ’s commentary on the booblehead shows is inifinitely more entertaining than actually watching them. Not to mention a lot quicker.
I love to hear her prononce her name with that soft mexican accent “Ennahoessa” :hubba:
Re: 5
I was going to keep a book I checked out of the library. I’d had it for months and then my friend came over and saw it on my coffee table and said she’d been trying to check it out for months. 😳 I took it back after that. :smack:
2 Rockford episodes tonight!
