Jason Linkins - Good morning, my ray of sunshine!

8:47

Megan - Good morning, starshine!

8:48

Megan - So, apparently, SNL's Ex Presidents superhero cartoon was a little more prescient than even they imagined...

8:50

Jason Linkins - I know! Bill Clinton for the win! Heroically providing Kim Jong Il the photo ops he craved. In return, two ladies! This is the sort of diplomacy I can get behind. Of course, my understanding is that John Bolton had some criticism with the way it went down. Because what should have happened is Bill Clinton should have strangled Kim with his bare hands or something.

8:52

Megan - John Bolton and his mustache couldn't get Kim Jong Il to let him visit the two hostages, let alone release them, so John Bolton can toss Clinton's salad.

8:54

Jason Linkins - What a fantastic image for this morning. Especially considering the mustache. I hope that Current TV has learned that maybe you shouldn't go from producing quaint and daffy video mini-shows to sending two reporters to the border of North Korea. That's sort of like sending the Auto Tune The News people to the Swat Valley.

8:57

Megan - I mean, that's an interesting thing, though, because Current TV was always looking to do both and has done some really interesting international reporting... but it was the lifestyles segments that got pick up far more.

8:57

Jason Linkins - It's like Plum TV, reporting live from Fallujah.

Sarah Palin should learn a lesson, too. She always complains that the media is against her, but do you ever see her rocketing in to save lady journalists? NO. And she has no job, now. She could have done it. She could have traded her hairdresser. You KNOW Kim Jong Il would have been all about that. And she can see North Korea from her house, with binoculars, so she should have really taken some global initiative.

9:00

Megan - Now, that's a really unfair criticism! Sarah Palin has many, many important things to do, that's why she left the Governor's office, so she can do those things unfettered by any ethics complaints. She's got, like, a speech to give to gun nuts. And, um... oh, she's got a book to have ghost-written. A special angel from heaven to look after. She's got to set up a whole new Twitter! She was really busy.

9:01

Jason Linkins - I should really "quit makin' things up." For the troops.

9:03

Megan - Every time you lie about Sarah Palin, a member of our Armed Forces dies in a roadside attack. She makes sure of that.

9:03

Jason Linkins - Sarah Palin is the Hurt Locker.

9:06

Megan - Am I the only person that thinks The Hurt Locker sounds like a genre-crossing BDSM porn set in a high school? Because it's okay if I was.

9:08

Jason Linkins - As a matter of fact, you are not! I still haven't been to see the movie, though. It's one of the things I hope to catch up on after my vacation. After, because one tends to not see movies on vacation in Nags Head. But, sight unseen, I am really stoked for Kathryn Bigelow.

9:10

Megan - The only movies I've seen this summer were Star Trek (great), Transformers 2 (epicly terrible) and Harry Potter (really good). I think I owe about 6 or 7 art films just for the transgression against everything I want the movie industry to be for Transformers.

9:14

Jason Linkins - Star Trek was so fucking awesome that I cannot believe I haven't been back to see it. There's no way Transformers improves on the experience of reading the IO9 review. No movie will. Infinite Jest is having a hard time being better than that review, which I believe will finish 2009 being the Best Thing I Have Read On The Internet. I've not seen Harry Potter yet, either. In The Loop, was awesome, though, for all the great swearing that Peter Capaldi did.

9:17

Megan - I do love movies where people curse more than I do, I'll admit. I always feel like less of a pottymouth afterwards. See also: The Departed.

9:22

Jason Linkins - Did you see the Rotten Tomatoes score on the GI Joe movie? I thought it would be awful, but yesterday it was quite high. Of course, they're screening it for nobody, so the essential verdicts have not come in. Of course, the only review you need to read is Bethany Rae Perryman's at Film School Rejects. Also, she needs to be followed on Twitter, by everyone, right now, because she is awesome and dirty and maybe the most hilarious thing on Twitter.

9:27

Megan - If they're not screening it for anyone, doesn't that automatically mean it's terrible? Because it looks God-awful.

By the way, one thing I elided over in the midst of Rush's racism yesterday was the fact that he called David Corn ugly on the air. Corn has responded. He isn't attracted to Rush either. Why is it of interest who Rush wants to ram his penis in? After 6 hours, it's pretty clear motherfucker is a bottom anyway.

9:32

Jason Linkins - I think it looks extremely uninspired. Insanely uninspired.

But while I'm handing out props to hilarious ladies, I should plug Molly McAleer's new website which is also awesome. WOMEN ARE FUNNY, CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS, AND IN THE MORNING, THEY'LL BE SOBERER THAN YOU.

Have I abused this Crappy Hour platform today, or what? Because I can also mention mention HOT LADIES FROM SHAKESPEARE BATTLING ZOMBIES, too.

But, yes, Rush is a DEFINITE BOTTOM. That's what being in a constant painkiller haze gets you. Also he lives alone, with a cat. BOTTOM BOTTOM BOTTOM.
