Construction crews are busy lowering all the desks and raising his chair so he will appear equal to Robin Williams in height. George will still be allowed to wear his pink tutu on the set however.
I am not a fan of his, however what he wants makes sense. He is basically letting his bosses know he is willing within logical parameters that make sense for him and the show. I don’t think it is an ego thing so much as good thinking...
Uh oh, I am going to get blasted for this one... :)
Pinging ABB! Does this qualify for a “Dinosaur Media DeathWatch™”?
Because I think this will pretty much kill off the morning ratings for GMA, which tends to draw people more interested in fluff than news.
Girlie man for Girlie show.
What talent?
It figures. His talent(LOL)lies within the fantasy world of politics; not the real world of the rest of us.
Stephanopoulos knows a lot about shaping programs and news.
The new condition is that he wants Obama on every week for serious, I mean SERIOUS!, political interviews. Questions will include who’s doing the dishes in the Obama household, flower arrangement and travel suggestions.
“...his interviewing talents...”
And those are?
I think George is serious about this and I’m sure they can work something out. George will have to be separated from the co-hosts who provide the fluff. Whether he’s in another city or back in the “newsroom,” he can report the serious news and interview serious guests. The other hosts can always solicit his sage advice on any serious topic to remind America just how lucky we are to share George’s wisdom.
Am I really the only one who remembers that Stephanopolous had to step down from his post as Clinton’s spokesmouth, move over to *special assistant to the president* because he lost credibility with the White House Press Corps, they were tired of his daily baloney? I mean, of all people to dismiss your honesty, sheesh! But how this guy was able to not only be put on as a regular talking-head on Brinkley’s show, but given control of it after one of the last decent journos passed away, it still astounds me.
Last Sunday’s “This week”:
That was the biggest whining, session I’ve ever, ever heard from a panel of “news analysts”. Subject happened to be Palin.
