17 June 2006



MY EYES!!! MY EYES!! I just witnessed the worst piece of television in nearly 15 years of journalism. Connie Chung's painful and wretched rendition of "Thanks for the Memories" -- a pathetic and embarrassing end to the pathetic and embarrassing MSNBC show "Weekends with Maury & Connie."


"This half a year flew by

My Maury, what a guy!

Instead of asking 'who's the daddy?'

He could talk Dubai..."



The other thing that was totally crazy was the fact that the smiling young man at the piano didn't play a NOTE -- he simply pretended to play, his fingers moving across the keys, but not pressing any. So instead of hiring a piano player to TRY to keep Connie in tune, they got some kid to PRETEND like he was playing. Class act, all the way.
