Wonkette: Chatology: Digesting the Sunday Spew

[NVMojo]

Feb. 13th, 2006

This Week's Sunday spew lacks a taste of Greece: The Brylcreemed smoothness of Washington's Hellenic homeboy, George Stephanopoulus, was pre-empted locally for emergency snow coverage. Because people in Washington are pussies.


We are thus unable to verify Condoleezza Rice's landing of a Half-Ginsburg, but she was scheduled to go on both “This Week” and “Face the Nation.” She told “This Week” that the Danish cartoon protests “could spin out of control,” which we would never have guessed. Also, apparently Joe Biden was on, which is like missing Haley's comet. If Haley's comet came every weekend. We regret the loss.

Hot topics:
↑ “Cartoon controversy” hits all cylinders this weekend, putting pundit asses in chairs from Fox to CBS, where Condi improved on the State Department's previous spin and — shockingly — stuck to her talking points.
↑ Fitzgerald investigation prodded into the spotlight by the assertion that Scooter Libby was given the “authority” to talk to reporters about the National Intelligence Estimate by his unnamed “superiors.” This is invariably linked to…
↑ NSA wiretapping , the sole topic of discussion on “Meet the Press,” but relegated to a supporting role by other shows. Talking points on both sides unchanged but MTP did bring back the ghost of Tom Daschle to speak on matter from the perspective of the spirit world. Should NYT reporters be forced to testify on those leaks? Ask some reporters! Also, Dems seem to have finally come to a steady talking point on the issue: It's fine to have a warrantless wiretapping program, just ask us first.
↑ Terror as a legitimate campaign issue, per Cheney. As long as we don't talk about gun control, right, Dick?
↓ Abramoff barely sniffed at, despite that awesome blurry picture snagged by Time.com, which looks a little like someone tried to get a snap of that creepy “booster” who comes to the Little League potlucks even though he doesn't have a kid.
