Deal or No Deal’s President Bush Appearance
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Games, Prime Time, Talk Shows, NBC, Gossip,
Given all the airtime the Bush family is being given on NBC this week, you’d think they were either up for re-election or they were promoting a movie about bees.
On Tuesday, First Lady Laura Bush will not only make an appearance the Today show, she will be guest-hosting for an entire hour. One of her two daughters, Jenna Bush, will also be making joining her mother for a quick hello.
But visits to the Peacock network will not be limited to just the ladies. On Monday night, President George Bush will be making a primetime cameo on Deal or No Deal. In a pre-taped message, Bush will cheer on an Army captain who is going for the million dollar prize.
So what will it be next? A visit from the actual president on Saturday Night Live? Now that would be Must See TV.

Laura Bush to Guest Host Today Show
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Talk Shows, NBC, News,
While next Tuesday’s political activity will focus on our country’s future, NBC will be spending that morning chatting with the current ladies of the White House.
Next week on Today, First Lady Laura Bush will be spending an hour as a “guest host” of the morning program. During the 9 A.M. segment of show, Bush will participate in several segments and give viewers a tour of the family ranch in Texas. She will also use some of her allotted time to plug Read All About It! - a new book she co-wrote with her daughter Jenna.
With her husband soon to be out of office, I guess it’s good she has something to fall back on.

Oliver Stone to Put W in George W. Bush
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Political, Casting, Filmmaking, Rumors, Scripts, Upcoming Releases,
As reported back in January, director Oliver Stone is going to take on the subject that has created strife, laughs, tears and terror - the presidency of a man named George W. Bush.
At that time (January), Stone said he was going to create “a fair, true portrait” of the man we all call Dubya. It’s now April, and the film is making ready for its start date (the 21st). The script has already been given to Bush biographers. Okay, I haven’t read it. However, according to some reports the script is said to depict Bush as “foul-mouthed,” “obsessed,” and shows a complicated relationship between himself and Bush, Sr.

President Bush Delivers Last ‘State’
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Specials, ABC, Cable, CBS, FOX, NBC, PBS, Editorial,
Monday night saw the very last (scheduled) State of the Union address delivered by our Commander-in-Chief, President George W. Bush (Dubya). He preempted a great deal of network and cable coverage for this speech to members of Congress and the nation. (A full transcript of the speech can be found at the official White House site.)
The real meat of Bush’s speech centered on the last seven years and bills he wants Congress to pass in the coming weeks. After a ton of hemming and hawing on a number of topics - he did mention voting in the next election at the top of the hour and alluded to the possible recession and economic decline in which the country currently finds itself - he got around to the issue everyone wants to know more about: our troops.
Calling the War on Terror “the defining ideological struggle of the 21st century,” Dubya announced he will require 3,200 more Marines in Afghanistan. He also talked on his Return on Success policy which will help bring 20,000 troops back to U.S. shores in “the coming months.”
He lauded his own success with No Child Left Behind and promised new budget cuts would create a surplus in the nation’s finances. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi gamely managed to keep a straight face as Dubya applauded his own efforts with the nation’s education. Bush called for new Pell Grants for Kids totaling $300 million, and at least mentioned the possibility of renewable energy during his time on the floor. But he also asked that Congress continue to fund the troops, praising those who are currently serving on the front lines (to stirring applause from both sides of the aisle).

Last March, we told you about a Bush Countdown Key Chain that was ticking down the days and hours until the demise of our current president. We have found its companion piece. For those of you have made your political choice already, we are featuring the super-optimistic Hillary Countdown to Election Key Chain created by Bush’s Last Day. While Republicans will undoubtedly not appreciate the sentiment, we thought we might send one to la Winfrey for a chuckle, just in case she has a sense of humor. Pick this one up for $13.95.

CBS Facing Huge Lawsuit from Dan Rather
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: CBS, News,
Well-known anchorman Dan Rather is suing CBS to the tune of $70 million, saying the network made him a “scapegoat.” Rather, now retired, had his last few months of TV history marred by a discredited story about President George W. Bush’s National Guard service. Now, Dan’s looking for a little payback, claiming CBS mishandled the story. Rather’s lawsuit names two CBS execs in the suit. Dan Rather was a leading anchor on CBS Evening News, which is now suffering with Katie Couric at the helm. A CBS spokesperson has responded to Rather by saying the suit is “without merit.” Dan Rather narrated a Sept. 2004 report that said Bush skirted some of his National Guard duties, and the former newsman still says the story is true. CBS, however, fired three news executives for airing the story, saying it was neither fair nor accurate.

How President Bush Can Predict the Ending of “I Love New York”
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Editorial, Features,
Oh, yeah, I’m going to make this work. Now, if you’re not familiar with the show, “I Love New York” is not a show wherein people from the South express their adoration for the city I call home while secretly hating it and using the term “Yankees” (the people, not the team) as a curse word. No, it’s VH1’s “celebreality” (as they feel the need to call it) show about the search for love by Tiffany Pollard aka New York, the two time runner-up of “Flavor of Love,” the dating show staring rapper/timepiece enthusiast Flava Flav and a whole lot of rejects from your local strip clubs, street corners, and free clinics. New York, who at times has been compared in appearance to a transvestite (in my apartment, anyway), has a gaggle of guys from which to choose, all of whom she has given helpful nicknames like “Pootie” and “12 Pack,” and each week she keeps some and lets the rest go.
At this point in the thrilling competition, our “girl” New York is down to just two dudes, “thuggish” Chance (whose band name is so dumb that I won’t repeat it here for fear of Google forever linking my name and it) and “ninja turtle lookalike” Tango (who, we learned this week, cannot do the tango well, which may mean he’s a fan of Sylvester Stallone when he costars with Kurt Russell). Whom will she choose now, only to be broken up with at the time of the reunion? We’ll all find out in two week when the show reaches it’s probably-not-that-thrilling conclusion.
