"It was a green backdrop behind him, it was a big lawn in front of a big house. You thought what the heck was that? It looked like it could have been one of the McCain mansions." - Chris Wallace
Full Lineup and other goodies below...
THE LINEUP:
Meet the Press: Future Vice President Joe Biden. Who is on fire. Irrelevant self-righteous pundit Tom Friedman. Suck. On. This.
Tweety: Joe Klein, Andrea Mitchell, John Heilemann, Michele Norris.
This Weak: Obama. Professional dickweed David Brooks, WaPo's Jonathan Capehart, Martha Raddatz and relic George Will talk about how orgasmic McCain was, standing in front of his puke-green screen, fumbling his lines like all those tedious sticky fumblings in the back seats of cars while you could only dream of getting out ... getting anywhere ... getting all the way to the RNC.
Face The Nation: McSame interrupts his mid-morning nap to talk about being a POW.
Fixed News: Axelrod vs. McSame lobbyist Rick Davis.
Late Edition with Wolf: Buffoon Jon Kyl (R-AZ), Gov. Tim Kaine (D), Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Unqualified-for-VP Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-PassedOver). Then Robert Gibbs, boring GOP strategist Alex Castellanos, James Carville, Ed Henry and William Schneider talk about McCain's shapely, enormous bulge bounce.
60 Minutes: Bob Woodward on his new Bush book. For Bush At War and Plan of Attack, Bush gave interviews to Bob and the books were gentle puffs. For the truly great State of Denial, Bush denied an interview and got skewered. For The War Within, Bush gave interviews, but looks like he still got skewered anyway. Also on this week is Alec Baldwin and something about sushi.
NOTEABLES:
- Obama brought Bill'O his 2nd highest ratings ever.
- TV Alert:
- TV's 24 shuts down production again for two weeks due to concern over the direction of the show. Their special brand of neocon bloodlust is so out right now. Plus, they're about four seasons past their prime. Time to pack it in.
- Bands are raking in millions through Guitar Hero video games.
- Crappy Must-Have Christmas toy for 2008 is definitely ELMO LIVE!
It's a robot. It sings, raps, dances, tells jokes and generally creeps you out.

JOE BIDEN ON FIRE!
If you haven't seen this video, I command you to watch.
It is truly awesome.

Somnabulant Fail:
Worst acceptance speech since Carter in '80.
My thoughts exactly.
Actually, it was worse.
In his horrid speech, McSame promised to clean up Washington.
He needs to clean up his optics first. How funny was that when McSame started his speech in front of another green screen this week?
Even worse, Josh Marshall exposed the Walter Reed Middle School backdrop scandal that caused him to be framed in green schoolyard grass. No surprise that TPM had the actual story, but the NYT reverted to basic stenography. That was one epic screw-up. That's what happens when you rely on interns to find your backdrops on the google.
With Tracy Flick sequestered at her undisclosed location, the RNC is
running black ops in Alaska to stall Troopergate.
It's easy to see now that she is not 'McSame as Bush'.
She is something much, much worse....
