Open thread: Sunday morning talking heads
posted at 8:01 am on September 2, 2012 by Allahpundit
With the convention starting Tuesday, Democrats will use this morning’s shows to introduce fresh, exciting young leaders like David Axelrod, David Plouffe, and Bill Richardson. Mayors Rahm Emanuel and Antonio Villaraigosa will be on too to explain how their cities and home states became the astonishing fiscal successes that America will try to emulate if Obama wins a second term.

NBC’s Meet the Press: Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel; Newt Gingrich; Carly Fiorina, former CEO of Hewlett-Packard; Doris Kearns Goodwin, presidential historian; Tom Friedman, New York Times; Tom Brokaw, NBC
CBS’ Face the Nation: Gov. Martin O’Malley (D-MD); former Gov. Bill Richardson (D-NM); Obama campaign manager Stephanie Cutter; Dan Balz, Washington Post; Trish Regan, Bloomberg TV; Michael Eric Dyson, Georgetown University; John Dickerson, CBS News
ABC’s This Week: David Plouffe, White House senior adviser; George Will, ABC News; Bill Burton, Priorities USA; former Gov. Kerry Healey (R-MA); Donna Brazile, political consultant; Matthew Dowd, political consultant
Fox News Sunday: David Axelrod, Obama campaign senior adviser; Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa; Brit Hume, Fox News; Kirsten Powers, The Daily Beast; Bill Kristol, Weekly Standard; Jeff Zeleny, New York Times
CNN’s State of the Union with Candy Crowley: Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa; Gov. Bev Perdue (D-NC); Gov. Martin O’Malley (D-MD); Robert Gibbs, Obama campaign senior adviser; Jessica Yellin, CNN; Dan Balz, Washington Post

The Punk in Chief is the biggest clown, evah.

show of hands of how many folks will actually watch it…

The old media is in a death spiral.

If only he were just a clown, he might be entertaining.

Wonder if Dr. Carson will be invited to give a speech?
NOT in this lifetime!

Isn’t Conan O’Brien the long-lost twin of Carrot Top?
Bitter Clinger on February 21, 2013 at 12:53 PM
The least funny late night host. Appropriate, because it’s not really a laughing matter any more.
Cleombrotus on February 21, 2013 at 12:56 PM
And here I’d set my hopes on Tracy Morgan and Alec Baldwin.
Drained Brain on February 21, 2013 at 12:58 PM
good point
cmsinaz on February 21, 2013 at 12:58 PM
The stupid is thick with this one.
Capitalist Hog on February 21, 2013 at 1:00 PM
Your comment is the very-distant relative of humor.
Capitalist Hog on February 21, 2013 at 1:01 PM
They all get to worship Obama in person instead of from afar. BLECH!
Liam on February 21, 2013 at 1:02 PM
Conan really needs to model his performance after Imus’ 1996 WHCA dinner performance – over the top skewering of the classless Clinton
phreshone on February 21, 2013 at 1:02 PM
I don’t think Conan is an odd choice at all. Just odd really.
Bmore on February 21, 2013 at 1:03 PM
What’s the dress code?
Black tie and tails or knee pads and bib?
fogw on February 21, 2013 at 1:04 PM
This should turn into an Obama Roast. But his ego couldn’t take it.
portlandon on February 21, 2013 at 1:04 PM
Get out of your echo chamber, and you’ll see how wrong you are. The old media is in danger of losing about 40% of their viewers/readers/listeners, which is compensated by increased dedication among the other 60%, absence of necessity to work hard and do actual journalism, and generous compensations, courtesy of governmental corporations and cronies.

A Comedy of Phony Comity.

You’re not a very happy person, are you?
steebo77 on February 21, 2013 at 1:13 PM
You need a Midol milkshake.
Will the swag bag include knee pads and penus shaped pens, with a rumor that the mold was from Preezy himself? Maybe some salt peter so Chris Matthews and David Gregory don’t get out of hand, so to speak, again, while Preezy is speaking?
AllahsNippleHair on February 21, 2013 at 1:17 PM
It won’t happen, but how awesome would it be if Conan put his hands up by his face in a dog begging style and prefaced it with “My impression of the White House Press Corps.”
“What are we gonna talk about today, Mr. President? Huh? Huh? Huh? What awesomeness are you allowing us to witness? Huh? Huh?”
Pathetic.

Conan O’Brien is proof that aliens exist.
He’s about as funny as nausea.
After Johnny Carson, the lot of them are talentless hacks … bums.
OhEssYouCowboys on February 21, 2013 at 1:18 PM
American Pravda at its finest….since at least the late ’60s. Its just gotten more obvious and flaunting its ideology in the last decade or so.
hawkeye54 on February 21, 2013 at 1:19 PM
The White House Correspondents Dinner is better than ever…..FOR ME TO POOP ON!!!
Aw, man. What I wouldn’t give for Conan to allow Triumph the Insult Comic Dog to appear at the podium.
Doughboy on February 21, 2013 at 1:20 PM
This will be the only time I watch Conan, but I’ll probably bow out early if/when he starts slobbering all over dog-eater.
HiJack on February 21, 2013 at 1:20 PM
Clown show.
============
How Socially(ist) Progressive!!
canopfor on February 21, 2013 at 1:20 PM
Triumph would be hilarious…but imagine if Conan let a certain bear have a cameo.
Christien on February 21, 2013 at 1:22 PM
Now, THAT is something that would be worth watching! In fact, how about running Triumph for prez?
HiJack on February 21, 2013 at 1:22 PM
Must be that time of the month. I feel for ya’.
Bitter Clinger on February 21, 2013 at 1:23 PM
Take your racism somewhere else, racist.
Christien on February 21, 2013 at 1:24 PM
You said “black”. Racist police knocking on your door in 3…2…1…
HiJack on February 21, 2013 at 1:25 PM
He also said “dress,” which is sexist.
Christien on February 21, 2013 at 1:28 PM
As if media bias weren’t troublesome enough, the ascent of President Obama’s top strategist to a plum job at NBC creates an even bigger issue: that of the political establishment becoming the press. Where does it end?
=============
Me thinks,How Does it End!??
canopfor on February 21, 2013 at 1:33 PM
I think the media members in attendance will suffice. They do the same thing in Obama’s presence as that bear did on Conan’s show.
The puppet becomes the puppet master. It would be poetic.
Doughboy on February 21, 2013 at 1:33 PM
I found it interesting in Ed’s Fiscal Times rant, that even Kirsten Powers called out Kroft for his tongue bath interview of Obama. Maybe there is hope for Kirsten still. She is one of the few liberals that seem to get it from time to time. I met Kirsten a few years back, and she found her to be a very nice and engaging person.
simkeith on February 21, 2013 at 1:36 PM
I used to think Conan was funny……..several year ago.
Today, he’s just strange and abnormal, more than the eccentric I used to think.
avagreen on February 21, 2013 at 1:36 PM
It follows, then, that he’d host something for the strange, abnormal one in the WH. Brothers from a different mother (or father?.who knows?).

Christien on February 21, 2013 at 1:41 PM
You made me laugh. LOL … “strange and abnormal” … I couldn’t agree more – but, like I said, after Carson, they all suck.
OhEssYouCowboys on February 21, 2013 at 1:42 PM
ROTFLMAO!
Thank you. That was hilarious. It was almost as funny as the idea of expecting a neurosurgeon to speak at the WHCD.
Seriously, thank you.
Capitalist Hog on February 21, 2013 at 2:08 PM
What’s funnier is the idea that Dr. Carson needs you, an under-educated dullard, to defend his intellectual integrity.
Capitalist Hog on February 21, 2013 at 2:09 PM
No they’re not. They’ll outlive their independence and dignity. Conservatives shouldn’t simply count on their demise, but instead work toward it.
EricW on February 21, 2013 at 2:22 PM
So, I’m guessing you don’t get ironic statements? *sad*
It’s a trait of many on the liberal side of life and humor….
avagreen on February 21, 2013 at 2:50 PM
Thanks.
I get kicks reading your comment, too.
I’ve read on other forums that people that can’t post here (missed the deadlines) tune in just to read the erudite humor displayed by posters here.
:)
avagreen on February 21, 2013 at 2:58 PM
Like I said, racist.
Christien on February 21, 2013 at 3:54 PM
I still like Conan. He’s on late night and I’m in that frame of mind.
He might work Triumph in to a recap of the WHCA on a future show – that would be funny!
22044 on February 21, 2013 at 5:01 PM
Look up “irony” and “humor.” Make your best case for the existence of either within your magnificently-stupid comment.
