Ah, me. I'm in the middle of watching the tedious Sunday morning political shows. Meet the Press was a difficult way to wake myself up today. In fact, I woke up a little late, so joined the program a few minutes in. On the panel (currently hosted by Tom Brokaw), were two Democratic losers. Literally. One was Senator John Kerry, nominee for President in 2004; the other was Senator Joe Lieberman, nominee for Vice President in 2000. Snooooooze!
You'd expect more camaraderie between the two Democrats, but no. Lieberman seems to be completing his transition from D to R, and is speaking (in his Willie Tanner on ALF voice) at the Republican National Convention. The round table segment was a snooze as well, with Chuck Todd the only guy with anything of interest to say.
FOX "News" Sunday was its typical self, with some usual suspects. Senator Lindsey Graham continued his histrionics, his bad note-reading skills, and still looks like a constipated, sexually frustrated turtle.* Opposite him was Former Senator Tom Daschle, who is far too "inside the beltway" to adequately argue for Barack Obama. Graham, fulfilling a blog prophesy from earlier in the week played the race card, by saying that Barack Obama played the race card. Sneaky! Frustrated Lindsey read (with disgust in his voice) Obama's jokey "doesn't look like other Presidents" and "by the way, he's black" comments with disgust dripping from his voice. He really is quite thedrama queen thespian.
The "by the way, he's black" comment that Obama said in a joking manner, is probably an allusion to a racially themed public service announcement often heard on the radio. The ad I'm talking about--if I'm remembering the right one--has a man going through resumes, looking to hire someone. He tosses out each one with a discriminatory remark, one of which is something like, "by the way, he's black." It's a sound clip often played and parodied on The Stephanie Miller Show. And it is not out of place. I absolutely guarantee that the 527s, if not John McCain's campaign, will be playing the race card, sublty and overtly, many times between now an November. Mark my words.
Face the Nation was on, but I lost interest. And This Week was delayed here by sports. It's just as well. After the first two, I was so over it. And you probably are too, so goodbye for now!

*One last thing. Sorry for my potentially childish assessment of Graham, but in truth it is a gentle substitute for what I wanted to write. Graham has an air about him that gives me a wiggins, and having Chris Wallace at the same desk makes that worse. I can't put my finger on why, but they give me the creeps. 'Nuff Said.
