Good morning everyone and welcome to your Sunday Morning Liveblog of the Sunday Morning chatfests. My name is Jason and I hope everyone out there in liveblog land had a lovely Christmas or whatever and have come through their various familial and office-party obligations unbroken and unbowed, because 2010 looms and if we're going to get our crap together and have that Space Odyssey we were promised, we'd better be well-rested and junk.
According to my memories, which are unreliable, today we're getting some high-test dose of Robert Gibbs, or something? Plus, we'll get all the news on Firecrotch The Terrorist, who sewed Semtex or something into his underwear? And maybe Joe Lieberman will get Charlie Sheen and his wife reconciled? It's so hard to keep track of the news when you are actively avoiding it, in order to have a good Christmas.
Anyhoo, you know you can totally leave a comment or send an email or follow me on Twitter, if you aren't already. All right! Let's get on with it, shall we?
FOX NEWS SUNDAY
Well...this is a bother! For some reason, TiVo has not recorded the first five minutes of this week's FNS. I'm going to get over this, quickly, seeing as how all I've missed is five minutes of Vinegar Joe Lieberman and --GAH! -- Pete Hoekstra talking about Firecrotch the Terrorist.
Hoekstra is precisely the sort of person that America needs to step away, slowly, from the National Security. In most modern societies, the Pete Hoekstra is outfitted with a Harlequin onesie, some shoes with bells on the toes, and is given a rattle to run around and shake, for the amusement of all. Only in America can this gibbering, balding, man-child ascend to the heights he has enjoyed. Which hasn't stopped the clown act, at all. Nor will it stop him from Tweeting away any state secret he might learn.
Anyway, we have Lieberman, talking about giving people "full body checks" in Amsterdam, which sounds like something most people do while they're in college. Pete Hoekstra says we have to "keep improving our game plan" to fight terrorists, but it seems to me that nowadays what happens is you try to light your pants on fire and the passengers beat the crap out of you. I feel sort of bad for the old-school highjackers, who used to just want to take your plane to Cuba and stuff. Can't do that anymore.
Anyway, Hoekstra says that this happened because Obama stopped using the word terrorism? And didn't "connect the dots?" Did he not watch the speech he gave at West Point? Where he talked about terrorism? And Yemen? Probably, Hoekstra was too busy furiously pleasuring himself to notice.
