Must-See TV?
Or the fifth sign of the apocalypse? Markos Moulitsas Zuniga interviews Juan Cole, and it’s captured on video for all eternity! Oh, the humanity…watch out folks, there’s enough brain power in that room to lightly singe bread!…Watch the intro here, it’s absolutely screamingly hilarious!…
UPDATE 09/26/05 10:53 a.m. central: Many thanks to the good Dr. Shackleford for the link…

The video quality sucks, but saw enough to realize that Markos needs to get a bigger teleprompter…and I thought bush was weak on camera.
It was like watching a snake charming ceremony, from the ‘charmer’s perspective’. And what’s the deal with the color motiffs? Bush has blue shirt in NO, against a blue colored building…Markos has green shirt against same colored throw away sheets from the Bed bath and Beyond garbage bins.
If we invent a time machine and go back to colonial era Persia, Cole makes the ‘away team’. Since the man has never been there, never cites firsthand sources, and is reading the tea leaves like most every other wag…he would stay on the ship. Wonder if Marokos subscribes to the Cole litmus test, targeted for Jonah Goldberg, but applicable to any critic.
Well said…you’re review is better by far than the actual program…
Some people absolutely DO NOT EVER need to be filmed. I can’t stop laughing.
