Gnarls Barkley--Crazy
It makes me crazy, these Sunday shows. After Newt Gingrich's awful, no good, very bad week, he gets yet another chance to make a bad impression on Face the Nation. And Paul Ryan, whom Mitch McConnell is hanging out to dry this week, will get another chance to pitch his Randian wet dream budget plan on Meet the Press. And then for balance, let's ask *former* White House officials on to check their level of disgruntlement, with George Mitchell on This Week to talk Israel/Palestine peace talks and Biden's former Chief of Staff Ron Klain on State of the Union. Of course, Candy Crowley is also asking on Dick Armey, godfather of the Tea Party astroturfers, which I'm sure will be disclosed to her audience. Tell me, do you see a single booking that just isn't crazy?
