The bombsy twins (Rmoney and RyanRand) are going to be on '60 minutes' tonight

For their first joint television interview, Mitt Romney and Paul D. Ryan have picked the most popular news program on American television: “60 Minutes.”

The interview will be broadcast on Sunday evening on CBS, just a few hours after it is taped in High Point, N.C., the network said Sunday morning.

At the time of the network’s announcement, the interviewer, Bob Schieffer, still had not arrived in North Carolina, underscoring the swiftness of the planned segment.

The same-day turnaround is highly unusual for “60 Minutes,” a newsmagazine that typically spends weeks and months crafting its segments. But it’s logical for both the Romney campaign and for CBS. The campaign has an opportunity to reach tens of millions of viewers just one day after announcing the selection of Mr. Ryan as Mr. Romney’s running mate, thereby creating another news peg for its rollout of what it has dubbed “America’s Comeback Team.” And CBS, with “60 Minutes,” has the shelf space for the interview on its schedule.

Should be enough bullshit spewed during the segment to fertilize the midwest.

1. Thanks. You just saved me 60 minutes.

Schieffer is known for his lack of follow up ...

2. Oh, durn. Bad timing.

My do-it-yourself root canal kit arrived yesterday, and I'd scheduled tonight to try it out.

I'm sure those with stronger stomachs than I will post a synopsis, though.
