Just a bunch of stuff to unpack while Waiting For Douthat. Now I know how Chunky Reese Witherspoon felt. I’ll probably be just as disappointed.:
- Former drunken coed Jenna Bush (now) Hager lands a gig on the Today Show which is no big deal and it’s not as if she can be any worse than Morning Joe’s Mika Brzezinski whose job it is to sit next to Scarborough and nod agreeably like a beaten wife who knows better than to say anything when the menfolk are talking. Anyway, Bush Hager will cover education because she’s been a teacher for, like, four years which is longer than Sarah Palin was a Governor and she’s qualified to be Queen of America.
- From TFLN: "do you think they ever dumped Gatorade over Michael Vick’s head after his dog won?"
- Dick Cheney is all, "you do not want to go there, girlfriend" about his torturing past, calling any investigation "outrageous". Phillip Garrido feels the same way about the police digging up his back yard.
- Ratings for the Glenn Beck Jonestown Redux Comedy Hour continue to go up which makes the wingnuts claim victory although the bean counters at Fox may beg to differ. These guys are the smartest capitalists ever.
- America’s Stupidest Blogger™ dismembered with an exacto knife. It occured to me the other day that Megan’s problem is that, while she is smart enough to read studies and abstracts, she is incapable drawing intelligent conclusions from them. Or, to put it another way:
Otto West: Apes don’t read philosophy.
Wanda: Yes they do, Otto. They just don’t understand it.

That picture was not what I needed to see this morning.
Or, indeed, ever.
In bringing on Jenna, the “Today Show” is merely honoring precedent:Dave Garroway brought on a chimp back in the Fifties. That decade’s stodgy concept of journalism precluded the chimp being required to offer commentary.
Speaking of Otto and friends in the C.I.A.
Did any of the memos offer guidelines for torturing detainees that stutter?
I can’t handle it today. Thanks for the MM disembowlment link, though. That was a real treat to read.
“… Jenna Bush … it’s not as if she can be any worse than Morning Joe’s Mika Brzezinski whose job it is to sit next to Scarborough and nod agreeably like a beaten wife who knows better than to say anything when the menfolk are talking.”
OMG, is there a bigger tool on the face of the earth than Mika? When I watch CupofCrap for any length of time, I end up thinking — boy this woman must need this job baaaaad. She is so pathetic.
Seriously, did you have Mrs.TBogg pose for that photo?
I think it’s just Sarah Silverman.
mediabob, I don’t know the TBoggs personally, but from her occasional comments and TBogg’s references from time to time, I get the impression that the Mrs. is a lady of refinement and dignity, who could slap him out of his shoes if he suggested that she pose for anything so crude. Besides, she would set the Dogz on him.
VonZeppelin I appreciate your heroic defense of my honor. I most certainly do NOT own blue faux Ugg boots….
Mrs TBogg, you’re an advertising genius: Own blue faux Ugg boots!
That slogan makes me want to have my own blue faux Ugg boots.
The Hager-meister will undoubtedly be just as successful as her dad was at everything he ever did.
I’ve seen that girl before. A couple times.
Long, long time ago.
