The Weekend Talk Show Preview Thread is (finally) up
If you want on or off of my ping list please FReepmail me
It will be cross posted to my blog at
Okay, okay. I know I'm way late this weekend. It's just been one of those weeks. Anyway, happy New Year to all.
Here's a sample of my usual witty commentary...
With apologies to Robert Burns' mousie, these are the last shows for the year and all of the best laid plans of the show planners gang aft agley...
... I think Nazi Pelosi's four day coronation is going to look really tacky after the dignity of the Ford funeral. But, hey, that's just crass politics. More significantly I think there is a chance that ol' Saddam's absence may just shock the players in Iraq into thinking again about their positions on certain issues. Sadr has to be taking another look at his life insurance policies, for example...
You are late...but I am just glad you are okay...I was worried about you.
No problems being late...you were very correct about a lot of the Saturday shows being pre-empted early.
I did watch JER, and am now watching The Beltway Boys.
Thanks for the thread, Phsstpok (your name is really hard to spell).
I always enjoy it.
I know you are sleeping probably...so you won't have had the good luck to watch this week's Beltway Boyz.
Well...I have to report on two things that have been said that are real "eye-rollers"...
First of all....Fred and Mort are giving their year-end awards.
One of the awards was "person gone, and forgotten"..and it went to Sen. Frist....which is okay I guess...but FRED said that he admired him for sticking with is pledge to only serve 2 terms..but THEN said that he also admired the "nuclear option" that Frist did which "got Bush his conservative judges"...!!!! I kid you not--that is what FRED said.
Then.....they gave the award for "Turncoat of the Year"..and they gave it to all of the GOP politicians that have turned their backs on Pres. Bush and the war in Iraq...
They showed the footage of Sen. Gordon Smith giving that disgusting floor speech about how it may "even be criminal" to have our troops in Iraq.
Well..I happily agreed with them, and I was proud of them...UNTIL, Mort said "well actually, we can really include Pres. BUSH in that catagory of 'Turncoat of the Year', because HE has not continued his 'staying the course' message..and has instead said he would look for a new way forward"....again, I KID you not!!
Luckily, Fred said that Pres. Bush's "way" may change but he hasn't changed his mind about finishing the mission.
I quit listening after that....to type this.
Those two need to move to CNN or MSNBC.
I am so sorry...I totally forgot to thank you very much for this thread..
I am hopelessly addicted...and would be at a loss on Sunday if I didn't have this...
Hope to see you on the Sunday thread tomorrow, good night!
Plus, we'll talk presidential politics
Democratic candidate Gov. Tom Vilsack, D-Iowa
His 15 minutes of fame.
