'Talking Points'-This would be a good idea for a radio show, and website.
Advertisements [?]
The Idea is simple. The show merely focuses on whatever the Talking Point of the day is.

First, point out what it is. ("Valerie Plame was a desk jockey" etc.)

Then, like on "The Daily Show", have a montage of the usual suspects: Talk Radio hosts, Faux personalities, shrubco mouthpieces, all mouthing the talking point or phrase, over and over, in rapid succession. ("desk jockey desk jockey she was a desk jockey desk jockey")

Then maybe some discussion about the talking point, what it means, what are they trying to divert attention away from with this. ("Basically they are trying to divert attention away from the Bush Administration's actions 'outing' Plame, and the reason it was done, namely revenge against a whistleblower undermining the propaganda case for the Iraq invasion.")

Website would be good, because it could have these montages on file to click on, and all the old talking points would be archived for reference.

Whaddya think?
