Hollywood Hack to CPB

by AltHippo @ 3:58 pm. Filed under Uncategorized

Warren Bell (former sitcom writer turned NRO hack) tells us Bush has appointed him to CPB:

I intend to open my confirmation hearing thusly: “Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate, three words: No. More. Elmo.” Seriously, I am deeply honored that the President has appointed me to this prestigious post and I am eager to serve my country in any way I can. I want to thank K-Lo and everyone at NRO, without whom I am sure I would never have come anywhere near the radar of the White House. Additionally, if readers want to send me their general thoughts and opinions on PBS and NPR, I would be glad to read them. Other than getting rid of high-pitched-talking red monsters, I have no agenda.

Coming soon: The News Hour with Jonah Goldberg.

Seriously. I’m looking at this guy’s resume, and it’s kind of light. Add to that his rabid partisanship, and I’m not seeing what would make him a better candidate for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting than, say, Ann Coulter.
