And so, First Mommy Waura - not to be confused with National Mommy, Karen Hughes, will be appearing on Extreme Makeover in November. She'll be visiting an "underserved" shelter for Katrina victims in Biloxi. I'm more interested in reading about what "underserved" means, how many other underserved shelters exist and why any shelter is in such dire straits that it needs a television show to serve it properly. But I guess I'm alone because instead of that, we hear about the plans Waura's handler has for the show: (via The Heretik)
"This is why it is so great the first lady is coming along, just to talk and hear stories and share tears and give hugs and remind everyone we are there for a long time and we are going to keep coming back and nobody has forgotten about them, including their government," Forman said.
It's so great. She's going give hugs and share tears and remind them that as long as they give good photo-op, they won't be forgotten.
Related: If Waura's desperate attempt to give the impression that Team BushCo gives a damn is successful, word is that the following plans will get the go-ahead:
In a desperate attempt to appear informed, Michael Chertoff will guest on Jeopardy!
Karen Hughes, sensing the PR diplomatic potential of connecting through music, will appear on Iraq Star.
Injecting a dose of reality into a traditional television show by playing himself, Senator/doctor Bill Frist will buy some much needed distraction by out-diagnosing cranky Dr. House on Fox's surprise Tuesday-night hit.
Karl Rove will team up with Judith Miller (playing from prison), Ahmed Chalabi and Freedom Medal-winner, L. Paul Bremer in a specially scheduled summer season of Amazing Race: the Co-Worker Challenge.
In a switch, Dr. Phil will relocate his show to Iraq to do a year of programs using his unique brand of tough love therapy on the soldiers caught trading war porn on the internets.
It's so great.
"Waura..."
Baby talk. Well, I do suppose that it fits in with the mindset of the left.

Oh, no, the dreaded mindset of the left is back. If "the left" ever were as monolithic as "the right" fears, what a butt kicking might take place. But the left is not so monolithic and we are reduced to enjoying these small but increasing crumbs of comedy falling from the tables of the mighty. Oy.

Vey.
I have another suggestion. Brownie ends up on "The Surreal Life 6," and he gets in the house hot tub with ex-video vixen Tawny Kitaen.

Brownie on the Surreal Life would be perfect. Or he could be the hapless guy there's always one of on the Apprentice. "Yes, Mr. Trump, sir."

Ooh, ooh, something with Jeff Gannon and Grover Norquist. Like, maybe they redecorate Rumsfeld's house.

Good idea! Gannon, La Norquista, Dreier, Mehlman and Man-on-Dog can be the GOP Fab Five.
