Damn. Awesome. Catches the flavor of Crossfire to a tee. Holy flanolee! Classic! (Still, since this doesn't insult either the right or the left wholesale, I doubt it could ever be passed around via blog or e-mail.) Too. Damn. Awesome. Catches the flavor of Crossfire to a tee.

If this continues CNN will need to change its name to ZNN (Zahn non-News Network) and we'll have Paula 24-7. I suspect that this is all a plot, masterminded by Adam to take over a major news "organ" to support his own views of the world. Maybe that wouldn't be so bad. Absolutely brilliant.

O curse my luck with no cable (I guess Bob could <i>afford</i> cable)... But I'm really interested in seeing Carville. As you described him I'm picturing Gabby Johnson from Blazing Saddles speaking "Authentic Frontier Gibberish". Gee, now you’re making me wish I had seen that show.

(snort!) seriously, Carville may be the ugliest human alive. and Carlson's cutesy-geek bowtie routine wears thin pretty fast. If they're not going to provide any real info at least they can give us someone easier on the eyes. Paula’s purdy. (snort!)

I always thought CNN stood for the Conservative News Network. I haven't seen or heard anything I'd consider liberal-bias in years. Except, maybe, here ;-) (Back to the underground cave.)

If you have a job, you won't be able to watch their show anymore. What's left, Alan Colmes? Anything dark between his teeth is guaranteed to be clumps of Sean Hannity-job's pubic hair. At least Carville and Begala had some goddamn spine! The broadcast television punditocracy is now almost completely, monolithically, conservative. A vast rightwing echo chamber. I don't think we should take it so well, whether you liked Crossfire or not, which is why I wrote a long-hand nastygram to media whore in charge at CNN.

Is this satire, or a transcript? Very good job, Adam. Zahn won't be on American Morning anymore. Replacement TBA, but insiders are saying Daryn Kagan or Heidi Collins. Jane Clayson was considered, but ruled out. CNN is slashing its "news lite" programs overall, by the way, nothing particular to Crossfire. Talkback Live was axed, Chung was axed, Crossfire is half-axed. I wouldn't be surprised if Lou Dobbs' commentary is cut and Moneyline becomes a news show again. CNN says Jack Cafferty remains on American Morning "for now," but I certainly wouldn't miss him. Larry King is becoming a bigger joke than typical, turning 70 this year, though his multi-million dollar contract doesn't expire for another two or three years. He's an international icon, but fading fast. CNN wants to once again position itself the only news channel on cable. I’m confused. Is this satire, or a transcript? Very good job, Adam.

Honestly), but this was brilliant. My favorite: "CARVILLE (enraged): Why I tellya sumptin grabsnap fribble-lip crawdiddy flip! Varrirrrbrgr carbadingdang over the President's sex life! Trrmbr!". That should be in Lewis Carroll. Actually, you got what's obnoxious about each one of them. Maybe you could have made Carlson even more supercilious. Novak is perfect.
