David Kronke was appointed Mayor of Television after a bloodless coup in 2000. Since then, he has improved infrastructure, championed greater educational opportunities and fought for reforms that have utterly erased corruption and incompetence from the television industry. Since Mr. Kronke has ascended to power, Television is a far better place. Comedy Central saves America
MSNBC's Joe Scarborough, a former Florida Republican Congressman, tonight gave props to Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert for their influence on this week's election. Scarborough wandered off the right-wing reservation quite some time ago, during his Hurricane Katrina coverage (and still, Republicans wanted him to step in and supplant Katherine Harris's epically bungled campaign for the Senate; Joe, obviously, declined): He not long ago devoted the first segment of his show to an installment entitled "Is Bush an Idiot?" And he followed that up with a couple of more segments on the topic.
That last one was with Bill Maher, who opened tonight's episode of HBO's "Real Time" with his assessment of the election's outcome: "Last time I was this happy, there was a pregnancy test involved." The interesting thing, though, was that although he had, earlier this week on CNN, promised Larry King that he would be outing other gay Republicans on tonight's episode, he, in fact, did not. (When he ostensibly outed one to King, that exchange was subsequently edited out of repeats of the broadcast). Lawyers, the TV industry's biggest fans, obviously got involved.
Comments
I TiVo'd Real Time solely for the promised outings and was extremely disappointed that Maher wussed out. I mean, he didn't even mention the absence of same after plugging it on Larry King.
