The inside scoop on Sunday show guests.
TVWeek recently interviewed producers, bookers, and moderators of the Sunday morning news talk shows and found out what they really think of their political guests. Some highlights:
THE HARDEST TO GET
Leading vote-getter: Vice President Dick Cheney. “He doesn’t give a s***. He’s checked out,” said one respondent. “I don’t know what he does all day,” said another.
DOESN’T MAKE THE NEWS THEY PROBABLY SHOULD
Leading vote-getter: Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice “never says anything.” “Everybody got really tired of the spin.”
A veteran newsmaker also commented that Rice is lying so low, “She’s under the rug in the living room.” Among the presidential candidates, Sens. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) and Barack Obama (D-IL) are considered the “biggest gets,” and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) is reportedly “great in a green room.” (HT: Jossip)

May 13th, 2008 at 3:14 pmUnder the rug in the living room? So that’s what I’ve been kicking every morning at 5am as I stumble out of the house?
May 13th, 2008 at 3:14 pmWhat does Dick Cheney do all day…? Hmmm. Good question.
Pulling the wings off butterflies would be my guess.
May 13th, 2008 at 3:17 pm“I don’t know what he does all day,”
Probably burns ants alive with a magnifying glass.
May 13th, 2008 at 3:21 pmI think he [Cheney] is constantly locking and unlocking that man sized safe all day.
May 13th, 2008 at 3:23 pmAmong the presidential candidates, Sens. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) and Barack Obama (D-IL) are considered the “biggest gets,”
Wow, ya think?
Meanwhile, Mike Gravel was voted “most likely to sneak out green room catering in his bindle.”
May 13th, 2008 at 3:24 pmSo?
May 13th, 2008 at 3:25 pmBWAHAHAHAHA!!! This thread has turned into a veritable Comedy Central. Good work all!

- - Condi has all the depth of a parking lot puddle.
May 13th, 2008 at 3:35 pmIt’s no mystery why Condi is lying low. She would probably be asked about our contractors in foreign places. And KBR is an embarrassment, to say the very least.
May 13th, 2008 at 3:40 pmSecretary of State Condoleezza Rice “never says anything.”
She tries. She mumbles. She stumbles. She ‘ahhhh’s’ like the good Dr. asks. She ‘mmmmmm’s’. She stutters, much like her boss.
She’s not qualified for her position, much like her boss. She doesn’t know a lot about the Middle East, much like her boss.
She’s a political appointee, much like her boss.
Oh, that darn Condi. What will that girl do next?…
May 13th, 2008 at 3:42 pmGuess McNutzi leaves it all in the green room because he barely registers a pulse by the time he gets in front of the camera. As for Cheney, it is difficult to imagine what they could possibly ask a despised lame duck VP that would be of interest to anyone without risking FCC violations as a result of his answer (”Mr. Vice President can you estimate to the nearest million how profitable the so-called war on terror has been to your personal fortune?”)
May 13th, 2008 at 3:42 pm- - Condi has all the depth of a parking lot puddle.
I am the Attorney for the International Parking Lot Puddle Association (IPLPA) and I am respectfully asking you stop demeaning parking lot puddles everywhere. Those puddles work for a living and they deserve better than to be compared to a souless hack of a Sec. of State.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation with my request. Now back to your regular programming…
May 13th, 2008 at 3:47 pmWhat Cheney does all day??? He’s thinking up more ways to screw our country in order to enrich himself and his friends. Same thing he’s done since 2001.
May 13th, 2008 at 4:10 pmFace the Nation is the last of the Sunday talking head shows I can bear.
George Stuff&nonsense is shilling for Shillary.
Timmy Boy acts like Stephen King on acid.
Chris Wallace smirks, smiles & smashes.
Notwerk TV is soooo 20th century…
May 13th, 2008 at 4:17 pm“She’s under the rug in the living room.”
Is that a euphemism for on her knees under W’s desk?

No Shayne, the term you are thinking of is ‘vaccuming the rug’. I learned that when I watched the movie “The Pelican Brief”. I wonder if Jenna ‘vaccums’ the rug?
May 13th, 2008 at 4:28 pmThey’re avoiding inconvenient questions about Torture and their role in it, when someone asks questions enough people take notice…oh, wait I forgot, reporters don’t ask those kind of questions anymore.
Bush taught Cheney how to blow up frogs with firecrackers, so old Dick is down at the pond most of the day now.
May 13th, 2008 at 4:40 pmThanks StratRat. Then that must be the euphemism for shoe shopping.
May 13th, 2008 at 4:45 pmSecretary of State Condoleezza Rice “never says anything.”
Yeah, she’s afraid that nassy forked tongue of hers will snake out of that gap between her front teeth….
May 13th, 2008 at 4:49 pmCheney is with Rove. They are right at this minute biting the heads off of kittens. Oh, and birds, baby birds.
