Television I’d Like to Watch

Posted on by

I don’t watch Celebrity Apprentice, but I read that former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich was fired from the most recent episode.

In the four episodes in which he appeared, Mr. Blagojevich never really found his footing as a competitor, spending more time shaking hands with passers-by than focusing on his tasks, struggling with computer keyboards and committing the unforgivable sin of letting Joan Rivers’s hamburger go cold.

MTV called Blogo’s four episodes a “reign of goofball incompetence”:

This week, the two teams were tasked with creating an interactive display plugging the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, the new theme park attraction at Universal Studios that opens in June. Team RockSolid was basically hosed from jump street, as Blago seemed confused during the initial executive meeting, couldn’t clearly express what he wanted and spent most of the time looking wide-eyed and mispronouncing “Harry Potter” terminology.

So Blogo can’t actually do anything. Just like … ? Imagine what fun it would be to have a Celebrity Apprentice team of, say George W. Bush, Karl Rove, and Condi Rice! Tasked with actually having to accomplish something tangible in front of a camera, what would they possibly do?

  2. Bush, Rove and Rice. All one syllable names. They take the least amount of effort to spell and say, for the simpleminded people who voted for them.
    I wouldn’t combine those three again. The did enough damage to the world and the US. We can’t have them also tarnishing the reputation of “The Three Stooge’s” in the public’s memory.
    And Rove saying “Nyuck, nyuck…” would make me want to ‘puke, puke.’

  3. Sorry about being OT, but here’s an update on Maha’s Mean Girls post from 1/28/10: https://www.mahablog.com/2010/01/28/mean-girls-2/

    Apparently, after too little was being done by the powers that be in South Hadley Massachusetts, things have been heating up. Now I’m seeing this tragedy carried on both MSNBC and Foxnews, and it’s big news in Ireland. Nine kids have been charged. The latest with links to some names: http://www.boston.com/news/local/breaking_news/2010/04/3_teens_to_skip.html

    It’ll be interesting to learn more about the dynamics of this thing as events play out.

  4. Or how about an Amazing Race where the three of them are dropped just outside Baghdad’s Green Zone, and have to hitch a ride to Fallujah in the Iraqi equivalent of a turnip truck?

    Condi would grip the roadmap in her fierce little fists, and bark at the driver that she knows a shortcut, if he’d only listen to her. Karl would keep trying to Tweet about the omelet bar at the Baghdad Holiday Inn, but all his electronics would be snafu’d. Georgie would wet his pants every time a motorscooter backfired in traffic.

    Good times.

  5. I’m sure Bush would be the self appointed decider in whatever task they were assigned, and Rove and Condi would be doing a heck of a job right up to the point where they all get shit canned for incompetence.

  8. OT, but I enjoy watching the Repubs try to roll back the crazy on the census as red states under report. Many stories on HuffPo and others. Hilarious. Karma is immediate.

  9. Even though they are not one syllable names, I think you really need to add D. Cheney and R. Limbaugh to the mix. Watching all of them – Bush, Rove, Rice, Cheney and Limbaugh – stumble around trying to get consensus, let alone actually do something, would be very educational for teaching how to not get anything done.
