Tonight! On AC360 (24/07)

Jul 25, 2009 03:00

1. Good thing I followed through on my impulse to check and see if AC360 really was just America's High tonight.

Holy Unexpected Anderpants, Batman!

He gets underway with the Obama side of the Skipgate Clusterfuck. Today Obama called up both the Sgt. Crowley and Prof. Gates to talk about what he said.

He talked about it during his press thing today.

Obama offered Gates and Crowley to come to the White House and talk. Neutral ground?

And then we are joined by Roland and Boyce, who you will remember from last night's argument discussion, and David Gergen via phone. (David does his usual thing of loving on the Administration.)

ETA: Continuing with Skipgate.

Anderson interviewed another police officer, Sgt. Leon Lashley (OMG, awesome surname), earlier today. This is important because Lashley is black and was also at the scene. He suggests that if he'd arrived on the scene first things might have been a little different - but he stands by Crowley.

ETA2: Also Obama quipped at the Press thing.

Obama: He asked me how he could get the press of his lawn. I told him that I couldn't get the press off my lawn.

And Digging Deeper with Roland and Boyce.

ETA3: Whoa! Holy unexpected statement from Boyce: (Prof. Gates) probably has more privilege than a lot of white males.

2. Erica's Bulletin: Minnesota family found out their son had died in Somalia, an Evangelist Pedophile will appeal GRAGHGG *rage*, Will They Won't They vote on Healthcare?, Octomom in TV deal Shocker!

3. BREAKING NEWS IS NOT BREAKING, CNN, FFS.

*coughs* So. MJ. Money. Stuff. Blah. Randi Kaye with more details I don't care about!

ETA: Okay, WTF? No, not enough WTF in the world, Anderson. Where's the vaunted CNN - Just the Facts when you're speculating over where Paris Jackson was born and money MJ gave to it. And you have her birth certificate.

4. Michael Ware joins us with a report about a possible kidnapped US soldier in Afghanistan.

This is primarily about the Taliban commander who they suspect is responsible. A guy who has close ties to the CIA back in Charlie Wilson's war.

5. Marijuana seized in California. You know - the illegal kind.

Keeping them Honest w/ regards to medical marijuana. And I'm not at all interested, to be honest. AC360 has really been dragging this America's High thing out.

6. Erica's Bulletin Redux: Honduras President still not back in place, murdered sailor's murder wasn't a hate crime, exchange old shit cars for nice enviro!friendly one, Palin getting ready to leave. (Thank fuck)

7. OMG, Tonight's Shot: Anderson and Erica play Name that Media Muggle. Which I'm assuming is based on this article

Erica's in charge. I am too excited about this.

Anderson - gets Ron as Conan. Suggests that Lou Dobbs is Mad-Eye to laughter. (Mad-Eye is actualy set up as Chris Matthews) There's a rubbish attempt at Lucius. And, sadly, no Jon & Stephen as the Weasley Twins. *sad face*

But then the 'money shot' as Erica put it - Fleur Delacour. Who is Anderson, according to that article. Anderson professes himself "mystified" - "you're speaking but I literally have no idea what you're saying" - man, that was awesome.

Anderson: Are we done?
Erica: I don't know, are we done?
Anderson: We are so done.

Yes, Anderson, but are you DONE PROFESSIONALLY? *dies*

love a pundit: anderson cooper, bossman obama, skipgate clusterfuck, mj watch update: still dead, tonight! on ac360
