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. A hot time in the old state tonight
Forget “Boston Legal” tonight: ABC will air a one-hour primetime special tonight on the California wildfires anchored by Charles Gibson from Rancho Bernardo. “California Burning” will air live at 10 tonight on the East Coast and then live again, with updated reports, at 10 p.m. on the West Coast. “Nightline,” at 11:35 p.m., will offer continued coverage.
Meanwhile, professional @sshat and CNN Headline News bloviator Glenn Beck is glad California’s going up in flames, declaring on his show yesterday:
“I think there is a handful of people who hate America. Unfortunately for them, a lot of them are losing their homes in a forest fire today. There are a few people that hate America. But I don't think the Democrats are those. I think there are those posing as Democrats that are like that.”
Beck really gets off on disasters: While New Orleans was still under water after Katrina, he called survivors of the hurricane “scumbags,” adding for good hateful measure, "I didn't think I could hate victims faster than the 9-11 victims."
And anyway, as the Daily News’ Mariel Garza points out, many of the homes getting destroyed belong to America-loving conservatives. Oh, well, thanks for playing, Glenn.
