This Space For Rent

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, I'm Bludney Plud and this is I Can't Believe It's Not News. Today I'd like to talk about the tempest in a teapot that liberals out there are raising over a couple of recent non-incidents with my colleagues Armstrong Williams and Maggie Gallagher.

It's just ridiculous, is what it is. I support what Mr. Williams and Ms. Gallagher did. They are the true patriots in all of this. In fact, I'd like to speak personally to any White House administrators out there who have programs they wish to promote. You can call me on my private line during the break. And speaking of that break, we'll be back with more after this word from our sponsors and Charles Asshat with Today's Republican Moment. Charlie's topic this morning is why liberals, in the name of bipartisanship and unity, don't just shut up and do what the president wants them to do. Stay tuned..."
