His take on 'This Week', for example...


This Week, With George Stephanopoulos

...All my teevee is doing right now is flickering an image of GS and the the THIS WEEK logo. Okay! It sounded like he said, "backlick." Then nothing. OMG. I am now liveblogging the Stephanopocalypse!

OK. We are two minutes into the Stephanopocalypse, and so far, we've heard GS say "back lick" and now a brief snatch of what sounded like applause. Then nothing. Then someone says, "us." As in "Help us?" "Save us?" Then, nothing.

It is now the third minute of the Stephanopocalypse. I just heard a noise, only for a half a second, that sounded unmistakably like the word "Foop." Then, "Fsss." And the screen flickers. We have now received the "Please Stand By" screen.

Four minutes into the Stephanopocalypse, and I can say, without hesitation, that this is the best episode of THIS WEEK I have ever seen.

Now the Stephanopocalypse has entered it's fifth minute. The "Please Stand By" screen remains, making the most trenchant political points ABC News has made in months.

It is now minute nine of the Stephanopocalypse. This is how the world ends in M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening.
