Connie and Maury: Infotainment gone (even more) horribly, horribly wrong

Picture this: Two reputable journalists, married to each other, get their own weekly news program. In addition to stories about war and politics, they team up to produce a cheesy nightclub style rendition of "Thanks for the Memories", complete with piano playing and piano sitting, spot lighting and soft focus, and new 'humorous' lyrics clearly written by some underpaid intern. A Woody Allen movie, you say? Maybe a new Tom Robbins novel? 'Fraid not. It's Connie Chung and Maury Povich on MSNBC. I warn you, the images are disturbing, but you can take some solace in the fact that the show has already been cancelled.
