Today on Press the Meat, it’s Tim Geithner. Maybe he’ll tell us who he’s chosen to head the Consumer Protection Bureau. Then it’s a roundtable with NY Times weenie David Brooks, the WaPost’s E.J. Dionne, former White House Communications Director Anita Dunn, National Urban League President Marc Morial and teabag founder Rick Santelli.
Over at Faze the Nation, it’s Abigail Thernstrom, the Vice Chair, U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, Michael Eric Dyson (who is OK, other than he teaches at Georgetown) Cornel West, Wall Street Journal douchebag John Fund, and former Bush shill Michael Gerson. You’d think Bob Schieffer would also have a word or two to say about Daniel Schorr, too.
On Fux News Sunday, Weaselface Wallace has disgraced former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Howard Dean, plus Jesse Jackson on how the White House handled the Shirley Sherrod ouster (not that Fux had anything to do with it, of course). And of course the usual fuxheads.
At the Goebbels network, it’s Timmy Geithner and NJ Gov Chris Christie, plus a mere ⅔ of the Axis of Drivel, Sam Donaldson and Cokie Roberts, along with Donna Brazile and Fuxhead Stephen Hayes of the Weakly Substandard. Gee, George :jerk: Will actually had somewhere else to go?
On CNN, Fareed Zakaria is all about Afghanistan this week with an exclusive interview with Richard Holbrooke. Then a panel of ‘experts’ – Richard Haass from the Council on Foreign Relations, George Packer of the New Yorker and Bret Stephens of the Wall Street Journal – argue over America’s future in the region. Plus, more from Fareed’s recent trip to London with Harvard historian Niall Ferguson and Lord Robert Skidelsky. You think the Gulf oil fiasco is a big deal (or even an unusual event)? Imagine having an Exxon Valdez-sized oil spill in your backyard every year for the last 50 years. That’s how it is in Nigeria, and Fareed gives us a look at the damage in the Niger River Delta.
I think a better use of your time this Sunday would probably be listening to NPR’s one-hour retrospective on the life and career of Daniel Schorr. It’s on a 2:00 on my local NPR station. As they say, check local listings for broadcast times in your area.
Well, got the old bursitis pretty bad in my right shoulder this weekend, and typing is pretty painful, so I reckon I’d better go now. Have a good Sunday.
