PBS Embraces Affirmative Action By Hiring Blind Videographers

So we’re settled in to watch the RNC for the second night in the row. Simply put, we have a new TV that, when used with our rabbit ears, picks up PBS very clearly. Here are some of our observations:

  1. Couldn’t these speakers have spent at least ONE hour of their lives at a Toastmasters meeting?
  2. Berlin’s clearly an Obama supporter judging by her extensive gas while listening to Romney this evening.
  3. Whoever is sitting at the switching bank thinks that we would really enjoy seeing audience members chatting with one another. The speakers aren’t nearly as interesting as this poorly framed shot!
  4. Bill Lehrer is spending next Saturday sitting for the GED exam.
  5. “Drill, baby, drill.” It was exactly 0.67 seconds later that Priscilla slumped over dead leaving Matt alone to sing “Motherless Children” to Berlin and Mojo as he tucked them into bed.

EDIT: Jim Lehrer, not Bill Lehrer. Priscilla is also sitting for the GED on Saturday.

    it appears the interns have been writing the majority of the speeches as well as (wo)manning the video cameras. poor overworked peons … (or perhaps it’s too many nights carousing with the st. pauly girl?)
