Sunday was my first appearance on TV in connection with Holy Hullabaloos, and it was very exciting, although given my hangover from Saturday night, obtained in connection with no special event at all, just sitting on my couch mixing liquors, it was kind of hard to get too worked up about it. For most of the program, I assumed I had been cut, because I wasn't mentioned on any of the promotional messages, which kept talking about "Latino politics," something my conversation about Judge Sotomayor and Holy Hullabaloos really wasn't about, but then in the program's third segment there I was, sitting in my chair with my awesome tie and giant jowls. I mean, they say that the camera adds ten pounds, but I didn't know they meant that all of those pounds were packed into your jowls! Will you look at these things? They look like they're flapping in the wind or something. Plus, my weird appearance was made worse by the fact that the first guy on the program was incredibly sharp and good looking, although I have to thank my son for kindly pointing out that "I think his ears are too giant" with regard to that attractive man's ears. Anyway, I think the interview went very well, and although I don't like to brag, there is some talk in the blogosphere about my jowls being nominated for an emmy in the "best performance by a pair of jowls in a weekend afternoon news program category." It will be tough to beat Newt Gingrich, but as the stars always say, it's great just to be nominated!
