No Deal

I had already suspected that George W. Bush had a little too much time on his hands, but it was confirmed the other night when he, I shit you not, appeared on Deal or No Deal. I am a bit pokey in commenting on this, but goodness.

Not only did he try and crack wise about being on a show with high approval ratings, but he asked if Howie Mandel would be interested in helping do a deal or no deal with Congress on the budget.

Feel free to view the travesty for yourself.

I have been rather swamped today (when you day starts with a nightmare about your brother dangling a mangled mouse over your face, it isn't exactly a sign that it is going to be a good one—feel free to offer interpretations on that one btw) so I haven't really read any of the reactions about Clinton's Pennsylvania win.

But listen, we knew she was going to win, it all just hinged on how much Obama would erode her margin. Even if she had won by only one percentage point, Clinton wasn't going to drop out. So the media just needs to sit on it. This is going to go on for several more weeks. Just enjoy the fact that you are being given something to report on and shut up. (That especially goes to the nimrods at MSNBC who tried to imply that Obama flipped Clinton off. The dude at the end of the clip is right, this just shows how they have nothing of substance to talk about. And that is no one's fault but their own. Here are two candidates with some substance, try asking them about their policies or plans why dontcha ya?)

dear lord. he was on a game show? that's just wrong on too many levels. it's like the singers and rock bands that are so far off the b list now that they're playing gigs like high point market.
shameful.
