The Daily Show - this week's lineup - looks like a good one -- |
|
Monday, 9/25 -- Pat Buchanan Political commentator and author, "State of Emergency"
Tuesday, 9/26 -- Pervez Musharraf President of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan
Wednesday, 9/27 -- Al Franken Political commentator & radio host, "Al Franken: God Spoke"
Thursday, 9/28 -- Jim McGreevey Former New Jersey governor
We have to endure Buchanan (and I'm betting that Jon with dismantle him with a few quick jabs) but then we have the president of Pakistan and Al Franken on Tuesday and Wednesday. As Ol' Tweety would say enviously, "What a get." You know Tweety is old news when a comedy show can get the president of a country while Tweety has to make do with recycled repug talking airheads.
Hope this isn't a dupe - I did check but didn't find a thread.

1. Musharraf? How'd they get him? |

This isn't some plot a la Thailand where his government is overthrown while he's away? :tinfoilhat:

8. McGreevey (puke)...sorry, but he is my least favorite gay person |
|
Saw his interview on Oprah and he came across as such an overt politician who, IMHO, is the worst face for gay rights. Seems like a slimeball politician and opportunist who has used people all his life and is now using the gay community as a shield for his bad behaviors. He also made sure to mention faith and religion about a billion times in the Oprah interview...ok, not a billion, but he seemed like such a phony.
Don't like him...just my opinion.

9. A Democratic politician who resigned amid scandal... |
|
...doesn't help the Democratic Party by going on TV before the election.
McGreevey knows that, but also knows that people are more interested in buying a political book before an election, and so he's putting his financial interests above the party and the country.
