I want my Rummy TV

Now that Guckert Gate has blown up in the Bush administration’s face, it’s time to turn our attention to the next big thing: The Pentagon Channel, a 24/7 Department of Defense-brewed network, and affectionately known as Rummy TV. A number of cable systems, including Time Warner, already carry the Pentagon Channel, and now the Dish Network will soon begin beaming the station to its more than 11 million viewers right alongside the half-dozen porn channels the satellite corporation offers. Forget war and peace, we have war and porn.

Special shows include “Queer Factor,” a half-hour reality show where Donald Rumsfeld forces liberal democrats to denounce the right to choose, listen to Toby Keith, and openly discuss their personal relationship with Jesus.

Rummy TV is covered quite nicely by Arianna Huffington in her column yesterday (yes, Lablogda is always a day behind. I have a damn life so get over it).
