The show — and the bug's jaunt around the news desk — were repeated at 11 p.m. Journalists, directors, camera operators and technical staff were among those who lost their jobs, the Guardian reports.

Look ... I personally appreciate you diverting me from the depressing 24/7 election coverage, but this story just isn't making the grade.
I happen to relate to boozers, and it breaks my heart to see my fellows unemployed for some little slip up.
Do you have anything a little lighter?

Ugh.
The video was sickening.
The thought of ANYONE counting on that dour, dried-up, Socalist HAG to “make all my dreams come true!” is truly pathetic.
