Sunday Talking Heads: June 12, 2011
“But don’t miss David Ignatius, who’s written a novel about war crimes without knowing it, and Henry Kissinger, who’s a war criminal but doesn’t admit it, appearing with CNN’s Zakaria. If you can stand that, you get credit for two episodes of CSI.”

Scarecrow sez:
“Once again, ABC comes closest to having one or two people, starting with Robert Reich, who inhabit the real world and can speak intelligently about the economic issues of concern to the public. ABC slips by asking its panel to talk about Newt’s campaign, which no one cares about, but if you have a silly panel, they might as well discuss something silly. ABC’s final issue, women in politics, is as least worth discussing. No other show comes close.
“NBC, CNN and Fox continue chasing the Tea-GOP clown cars. Does anyone care about the Tea-GOP “debate” on Monday? [No.] Is there any point is watching the two party heads exchange talking points? [No.] Do their producers honestly believe the American people care one whit about Tim Pawlenty, who proved his non-seriousness by offering a pony, a unicorn and an implausible 5% growth rate as the solution for depression-like demand and 9.1% unemployment? And they care even less for the ridiculous Rick Santorum. Turn them off.
“Once again, CBS remains completely irrelevant and two months behind, featuring flim-flam man Paul Ryan, who blew his credibility by shooting his party in the foot with a phony budget and dishonest proposal to end Medicare, which he’ll no doubt lie about again. Wake up, CBS, he’s a fraud and he’s done, so stop wasting our time. And at a time when sentient Democrats are beginning to realize that following Obama as he chases Tea-GOPs deficit hysterics around Joe Biden’s dining table is the opposite of what they should be doing, CBS invites the conservaDem most identified with the wrong strategy. Do they not realize that the debate is between the D.C. consensus and the ignored rest of the country? And can we have just one week without one of the three scolds? Just shut it down, CBS.
