Jason Linkins writes a hilarious live blog during the Sunday morning talk shows.  While he hits members of both parties (the GOP gets it more, certainly - it IS a lefty blog after all), he also does something we can all agree on, which is to totally trash media punditry. The piece is lengthy, but worth it.

(And yes, it's the Huffington Post, but don't worry, it doesn't come off on your hands or give you flesh-eating bacteria or anything. C'mon, give it a go. I went to the Malkin site for that math puzzle, you know.)

Anyway, here's a Little Scene from his comments on today's 'This Week' with George Stephanopolous:

===================================
This Week, With George Stephanopoulos

Speaking of holidays, it appears that we have inadvertently stumbled into one. All my teevee is doing right now is flickering an image of GS and the the THIS WEEK logo. Okay! It sounded like he said, "backlick." Then nothing. OMG. I am now liveblogging the Stephanopocalypse!

OK. We are two minutes into the Stephanopocalypse, and so far, we've heard GS say "back lick" and now a brief snatch of what sounded like applause. Then nothing. Then someone says, "us." As in "Help us?" "Save us?" Then, nothing.

It is now the third minute of the Stephanopocalypse. I just heard a noise, only for a half a second, that sounded unmistakably like the word "Foop." Then, "Fsss." And the screen flickers. We have now received the "Please Stand By" screen.

Four minutes into the Stephanopocalypse, and I can say, without hesitation, that this is the best episode of THIS WEEK I have ever seen.

Now the Stephanopocalypse has entered it's fifth minute. The "Please Stand By" screen remains, making the most trenchant political points ABC News has made in months.

Here in the sixth minute of the Stephanopocalypse, I am encouraging all you readers to nominate the Please Stand By screen for this year's Peabody Award.

Seven minutes of Stephanopocalypse? More like Seven Minutes In Heaven!

The Stephanopocalypse has now lasted eight minutes, and the Please Stand By screen is so quiet, peaceful, and contemplative that having this TiVoed is like owning your own Mark Rothko painting.

It is now minute nine of the Stephanopocalypse. This is how the world ends in M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening.
