Franco, American-style

We might as well face it. We're in for an unparalleled display of faulty short-term memory, as the nation's newscasters and pundits fall over themselves to give slobbering blowjobs to a corpse.

For the next week, at least, CNN and every network news program is going to sound like an inferior rerun of a Saturday Night Live skit from the mid-70s.

"This breaking news just in: Former President of the United States Ronald Reagan is still dead."

If I were the producers of the satiric news program The Daily Show, I'd get Chevy Chase and Garrett Morris booked as soon as possible.
