Super Sunday! I know some of you don’t care for football, but you have to admit it’s a great day for eating.

(You can tell from the listings here that the game is on NBC.)

Just what is a dishonest rape?

Misogyny is never pretty.

Buenos dias. (I don’t know how to say “Good morning” in moonspeak.)

Scarecrow notes – NBC certainly has an all star line up. They’re all set for a discussion of the housing crisis, featuring a man who doesn’t know how many homes he owns and a paid shill for reverse mortgages.

Teddy observed – Wasserman Shultz checks so many boxes! Democrat, lady, Jew, Floridian, party chair, cancer survivor, friend of Gabby, mom. All the bookers need is for one of the shows to have her on. Then all bases are covered. With one guest! And, in fact, that’s exactly what they did.

Peterr points out – CBS: “Also Dave Barry” Finally, CBS has an analyst whose gifts match the guests on the show. Who better to comment on Bachmann, Trump, and the Occupants of the GOP Clown Car? On the other hand, I could see how someone would say “Aren’t there enough comedians on the show already? Why add one more?” Meanwhile, on NBC, “If it’s Sunday, it’s . . . John McCain.” Why don’t they simply let him host the show?

There’s a lot here that is worth your while.

G’morning. Feel the Newtmentum?

New listings today – Moyers & Company, they’ll be talking money in politics. FDL Book Salon features Greg Palast’s Vultures’ Picnic In Pursuit of Petroleum Pigs, Power Pirates, and High-Finance Carnivores, FDL Movie Night on the Underground Railroad in the West. Virtually Speaking with Joan McCarter and Jay Ackroyd.

So here we are in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for a Fox News, Wall Street Journal and South Carolina Republican Party Debate on Martin Luther King Day, with Bret Baier of Fox News, and Gerald Seib and Kelly Evans of the Wall Street Journal asking the questions.

Jon Huntsman threw in the towel this evening.

The South Carolina primary is January 21, so from here on in, I guess it’s all South Carolina, all the time. Polling shows Mitt is rising, but Rick Santorum did pick up a key (for him) endorsement this weekend.

We have Dylan Ratigan with Bill Black for FDL’s Book Salon, tomorrow night is a fascinating space story for FDL’s Movie Night. And don’t forget Virtually Speaking with Culture of Truth and digby this evening.

Here are your listings…

Last night was the ABC News-Yahoo debate, this morning it’s the NBC News-Facebook debate on Meet the Press, so please hang in the comments. Shoto found us a drinking game over at Pierce’s, hold onto your socks.

Tuesday is the New Hampshire Primary, the next stop on the road to nomination. We lost Michele Bachmann this week after Iowa, so we are down to six candidates, with Rick Santorum moving to center stage.
