So we’re kicking off TMT’s “Super Motha’ Fuckin’ Tuesday (on Wednesday)” "live"-blogging session with the formidable coverage of ABC (mainly because the other terrestrial stations ‘round here are still stuck on regular programs):
- 9:35 PM
An anchor opines that perhaps the youth vote will turn out “if we give them iPods.” Diane agrees smirking, “Yes, let’s keep raising the stakes. Pizza, [then I’ll raise you one chortle! with] pizza and toppings.” You might as well take me to Chuck E Cheese; that way, when we bring video games into the equation, we won’t have to travel far.
- 9:55 PM
A commercial for Oprah’s Mindfuck 2k8: “Give away this sum money! Wait, you’ve won our arbitrary contest, here it is back! Wait, you have to give away again, sucker!” Okay, so I made that last part up, but c’mon... please Guild writers come back. I can’t steal jokes off Conan’s ad libs.
- 9:56 PM
The local news bulletins are so cute. But then they have much less time to fill than the national anchors, so there’s less stumbling. The cuteness evens out.
- 10:01 PM
Charlie Gibson just held back a burp while calling Oklahoma for John McCain.
- 10:07 PM
For a moment we just heard an ABC producer say, “They’re holding up a sign,” which doesn’t really explain why a professional camera crew can’t find a spot without a placard blocking Mike Huckabee’s eerily greased visage. Why are his eyes 95% pupil? (1. Shark DNA 2. He’s goes to the same CVS as Rush)
- 10:22 PM
The guy from Law and Order is on a commercial. Isn’t he running? I am confused.
>>> Switch to NBC:
- 10:35 PM
Talk of John McCain’s Maverick-ness. Still, he don’t compare to the real Maverick.
- 10:44 PM
Joe Lieberman talks like a muppet.
- 10:46 PM to 10:55 PM
Pee break. And I ate a cookie.
- 10:30 PM
Alright, I’m sick of watching this – wayyy too many states to keep track of (oh wait, “Conservatives love contrarians!” Damn you, Peggy Noonan, damn you and your ilk) And here’s your MV+EE with the Golden Road tourdates:
# w/ Samara Lubelski
$ w/ Doc Dunn and Chris Davis
