It makes me wonder how many media officers controlling the official Twitter accounts of really powerful organizations have just put "[name of girlfriend]1" as their Twitter password....
I know this isnt' the fox news twitter. But maybe someone could do this for reals? Who knows the media officers at Fox? Anyone on their facebook? Just start typing in dog names and you'll be in soon.
Has it occurred to anyone that the feds may have told NBC to cancel the interview (without specifying why), knowing that they would be at his home that morning and not necessarily wanting the place wired for a broadcast?
@The Girl Also Blogs: Good theory, although I'd find it hard to believe that NBC would acquiesce to such a demand. In fact I'd think it would make NBC go even harder to make the "get".
Which is to say this: fed demand to cancel the interview - hell no. NBC Entertainment demand to cancel the interview - hell yes.
When you're a fourth-place network putting your future on the line in the form of a risky (and by risky I mean Craaaaaazy!) experiment in prime time, Blago-chat might seem expendable. The choice is serve up Blago or service the bottom line. Two years ago I would have called it unforgivable corporate greed, but now, after losing a 20-year job in television, I'll forgive the greed and hope that it helps save the jobs of thousands of worker bees at NBC and its affiliates.
It seems odd that this would be the piece of the show that would be cut. Couldn't they just have skipped the Christmas Recipes segment, or tied Al Roker up in a closet somewhere?
@DeltaGuy: Yeah, it seems possible that they just didn't want the interview anymore, and used Leno and other breaking news as an excuse. A poorly chosen excuse, but still.
@TubOfTaft: OMG ur gonna be so mad @ me, Guv. Connelly, but we need to cancel our exclusive post-assassination interview, since we have a special celebrity episode of The $64,000 Question starring NBC personalities! Frenemies, still tho? Lulz!

Winston tastes good, like a cigarette should.
Pretty bland, but then the copyboy ads ellipses.
