In a rare move, the corporate news gatekeepers open their doors a crack to let a couple of Third Party Candidates speak for a few minutes on National TeeVee. First off is RALPH NADER on This George. Check out Nader's Twelve Issues that Matter for 2008. Then on Fake News it's BOB BARR running as the Libertarian Candidate. Read Barr's Issues Page. ELSEWHERE it's business as usual with surrogates filling up the screen. RAHM EMANUEL will also be on This George. On Face the Bob look for former NATO Commander GENERAL WESLEY CLARK taking on JOE LIEBERMAN, a favorite Brick Target. Meet the press is now being hosted by Tom Brokaw and he'll get a crack at THE GOVERNATOR and ask Colorado Governor BILL RITTER if the Dems are short-changing Denver. Be sure to tune in U-boat Captain Blitzer for SEYMOUR HERSCH. The White House scrounged up cab fair to CNN for thier lone spokeperson this week, U.S. Ambassador to Iraq RYAN CROCKER. 60 Minutes mails it in for summer. Be sure to tune in Ring of Fire Radio with guests BRAD FRIEDMAN, BOB WEXLER and COEHM author JOHN PERKINS. The Brick TeeVee crew took a collective breath when the US Senate chose to "push back an overhaul of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) until after lawmakers return in July" thanks in no small measure to Senator Russ Feingold. “It’s a capitulation,” said Feingold, who argues that Democrats have allowed themselves to be intimidated by the “fear approach of the administration.” We applaud Senator Feingold and Senator Dodd for holding out for the Fourth Amendment! It's not too late, folks! The ACLU is fighting back with a coalition called "STRANGE BEDFELLOWS". See John Amato at Crooks and Liars Strange Bedfellows meet on FISA and sign up at http://www.thestrangebedfellows.com right away! And write your Senators!

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

Presidential Politics remain front and center for the bobbleheads this Sunday. Plenty of people to throw bricks at! The Tim-less Meet the Press will have a "debate" between LINDSEY GRAHAM and JOE BIDEN, hosted by anchor BRIAN WILLIAMS. Then, Face the Bob will let CARLY FIORINA and BILL RICHARDSON battle it out. This Snuffagopolis talks oil and energy with KAY BAILY HUTCHINSON and ED MARKEY. Not to be outdone, U-Boat Captain Blizter features a 3x3 tag-team steel cage matchup between R's and D's. Fake News gets a matchup of toms with TOM DASCHLE and TOM "Color Code" RIDGE. If you don't know what "plumpynut" is then tune in 60 Minutes. You should then switch on that internet radio for an interview with VINCE BUGLIOSI on Ring of Fire Radio. There should be discussion of the "new" FISA Bill "compromise" that passed the US House 293-129 (find how your congresscritter voted HERE - H.R. 6304). Heads expoded all over the internets when Presumtive Candidate Obama said "So I support the compromise". Less than a day later, Obama proclaimed "I will work in the Senate to remove this provision so that we can seek full accountability for past offenses" (CBS News). Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-MilqueToast-Nev., however, said that he may schedule a separate vote on stripping immunity from the bill, although he expressed pessimism about its success. "Probably we can't take that out of the bill, but I'm going to try." Now THAT's some INSPIRING words there, Harry! Nothing like letting the principles of the 4th Amendment just go up in smoke. The ACLU called the vote "Christmas morning at the White House" and concluded, "The House should be ashamed of itself. The fate of the Fourth Amendment is now in the Senate’s hands. We can only hope senators will show more courage than their colleagues in the House." The ACLU is fighting back with a coalition called "STRANGE BEDFELLOWS". See John Amato at Crooks and Liars Strange Bedfellows meet on FISA and sign up at http://www.thestrangebedfellows.com right away! After hearing the House vote, The Brick TeeVee crew immediately began digging for important papers, like birth certificates, passports and other legal docs, fearing the worst.

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

First off on this Fathers Day NBC will air a special "Tribute to Tim" for the entire hour, hosted by TOM BROKAW. I'm sure the other Talkies will offer video condolences as well. We here at Brick TeeVee offer our condolences to the extended Russert Family as well. This George will have also-rans JOHN EDWARDS and FRED THOMPSON (did he really run?). Face the Bob is all-GOP with NEWT "Contract ON America" GINGRICH and Louisiana Guv BOOBY JINDAL. Be sure to throw bricks at Cry-Baby JOHN BOEHNER on with Wolfie as he "debates" JANET NAPOLITANO and tries not to tear up too much. Wolfie also talks economics with advisors from the camps of BARAK OBAMA & JOHN "Crazy Train" MCCAIN. Be sure to tune in a special rebroadcast of RING OF FIRE RADIO with CHALMERS JOHNSON and HOWARD ZINN. Lost in all the shuffle is the HISTORIC 35 ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT read on the House floor TWICE this week, carried LIVE nationwide on C-SPAN. As for the "networks" they could hardly muster a yawn, most likely because they were COMPLICIT in many of the 35. Listen to Dennis Kucinich discuss the Articles with Bob Kincaid at Head On Radio HERE, courtesy White Rose Society. To read the Articles yourself and watch Dennis read them go to www.35Articles.com. The Brick TeeVee Gardening crew is now harumphing about weeding the garden and other outdoor chores. They've even lost interest in holding the watering hose and put in a sprinkler! Much has sprouted and thrived since we have closed the security holes around the garden - no veggies yet but it's early! Stay tuned!

Tim Russert May 7, 1950 – June 13, 2008 R.I.P.
