WILL SHE BE IMPEACHED?
Thu Apr 13 2006 08:14:38 ET
ABC is preparing to dismiss the first female president of The United States -- after less than a year on the job!
While it is not clear if the country is ready for a woman to take the title of COMMANDER IN CHIEF, TV executives at ABC have all but decided to pull the plug on the breakthrough drama, top sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.
"No one here will say publicly that it's over [for the show]," a well-placed insider said this week from Los Angeles. 'But it is over."
The program returns this evening after a long recess -- with the president's husband groping an intern!
ABC suits will not renew COMMANDER unless audience levels can hold a 15 share, a source claims. The show crashed from a high of nearly 17 million viewers for its second episode to 10.4 million for its last, Jan. 24.
Geena Davis as President Mackenzie was launched with much fanfare and topical news crossover:
A search of the NEXIS database shows 918 press stories containing the terms "Geena Davis" and "Hillary Clinton."
"On 'COMMANDER IN CHIEF,' art can now imitate life," cheered the SAINT PAUL PIONEER PRESS.
But at season's end, the New York senator's handlers are surely hoping that real life does not imitate the art.
Jumped the shark, eh?
Huh?
They're just trying to make Geena Davis's character even more like Hillary. Just imagine the trouble Bill could get into in the White House if he didn't have all his Presidential duties chewing up time.
Free trade is not a conservative principle.. a foolish one yes.. a conservative one, no.
Don't forget that the MSM will now have Katie Cronkite slanting the evening news .....
More like rolled up the the shark tank and fell in.

14 votes on when it jumped the shark and 8 of them were for "Day One"
I gotta disagree with you on E-Ring.
I liked the show. The plots were believable and the acting was good.
But it looks like NBC has put that show on hiatus too.
So the Lincoln Bedroom would get continued use?
Yeah, fat chicks who had lost their remotes and had eaten too much ice cream to get off the couch to change the channel when Dr. Phil was over.
Wasn't it reported to be a smash hit when it first came out? Just wishful thinking by the leftist media I guess.
Yes, my sister, a retired college prof Liberal, was one of the 5 or 6 who did watch it. When she visited a couple months ago, I told her the show was on its way out, as the alternate media was already reporting the handwriting on the wall.
She didn't believe me, because HER Antique Media, wasn't reporting it. I told her, Watch, Wait, and be prepared to Weep, because it will soon be announced by your buddies.
These libbies are the very last to find out the news, if they ever find it out at all, because they are relying on the Alphabet Media, who are in the Propaganda Business, not the News Business.
Davis' last good role was as a blond bimbo in "Earth Girls are Easy." Nice bod then. Now, just one more out of work, aging, bitter Hollywood Leftist.
Here, let me help you with that.
The MSM better take fabricate another poll to relieve their sorrows over this disaster.
I thought it was canceled a long time ago. Shows you just how much (or little?) I paid attention to it.
But when the plots looked to me like they were going to concentrate on the teenagers problems and the "First Dads" difficulties playing a second fiddle role I walked away and never looked back. Too bad actually. It could have been a decent show but it died like most of the rest from terrible plots and terrible writing.
I am ashamed to say I watched one episode of that show. It was horrid.
I thought she was pretty cute when she did "Buffalo Bill" with Dabney Coleman.
