Sunday Shows
While I cannot watch all of the Sunday shows due to my limited omnipresence, I was able to catch This Week on ABC with George Will, Arianna Huffington, Paul Krugman, and special guest Roger Ailes of Fox News. (This was after watching a rare Power Panel on Fox News Sunday which contained both William Kristol and Charles Krauthammer). I must say, I was impressed with Roger Ailes’ ability to fire back at the other side of the table when they sniped, which is an action George WIll rarely does, for good reason I might add. It was nice when Huffington accused the GOP of using “paranoid politics” and anger to energize a base that ended up helping Sen. Scott Brown win his elections, to have Ailes fire back with his own anecdote about Huffington Posts’ columns comparing Ailes to J Edgar Hoover and other similar snarky posts. Point. Ailes.
The roundtable played out like a fireworks show: a pop here, glittering showers of fire and lights there before subsiding into monotone. The end was a magnificent display, however, with Ailes calling them all out around the table, and making ABC regret extending him an invitation in the first place. Liberal tweeters and bloggers alike are answering Ailes’ points in typical ad hominem fashion:
| Roger Ailes’ doctor wants him to lose 100 pounds. #abcnews #thisweek | ||
| RT @KatrinaNation: Paul Krugman terrific on ABC “This week”on dysfunctional Senate. Priceless: his face listening to Roger Ailes blathering | ||
