I hate depending on TV, but it's all I have, so I give the new shows a try. I happened upon "The Hustler." I'd tuned in part way through the show several weeks ago, and didn't understand the premise. This time I watched from the beginning, so understood where it was going. Craig Ferguson hosts and he's rather compelling to watch, as I know Dorothy liked his late night show and she liked mysteries so I imagined she would enjoy this show. I would too if it didn't strike me as being a little too programmed and scripted. I have difficulty accepting what is presented as being true to fact. But I watched, though with skepticism.
I watched Jimmy Fallon interviewing Shaquille O'Neill. The first words Shaq uttered were a shameless plug for some supplement which he named, twice, as having helped him deal with his personal losses over the past year. So I turned to Jimmy Kimmel, whose guest was Dana Bash. She is scheduled to co-anchor a new show this coming week.
But here is where the stupidity sets in. When asked which was the first inauguration she had attended, she said it was in 1997, Clinton's first inauguration. She was a college student at the time, studying government I suppose, and she had 2 lanyards, not tickets. She said she "broke in." She gave one of the lanyards to her roommate, and told her to "Walk with purpose." It worked, she said, and they were admitted. Inside, they "sneaked into" the inauguration ceremony, sitting among celebrities. In view of the recent walking with purpose, breaking into the building and sneaking into the room, why would she say that, even though it was way in the past. Can she not see a parallel? Is she a moron?
