8196: Thanksgiving Turkeys.


Carving up the news in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…

• Former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay was convicted of money laundering in connection with the 2002 elections—making him eligible for a sentence of five to 99 years in prison. So DeLay may soon become Big House Majority Leader.

• Wesley Snipes asked a federal judge to let him remain free on bail while pursuing an appeal of his convictions for tax evasion. Snipes is probably also receiving calls for advice from Tom DeLay.

• Kanye West is not giving thanks to Taylor Swift, Matt Lauer or George W. Bush. The recording artist apparently griped about being victimized during a recent concert, even accusing Swift of profiting from the infamous VMA moment. West complained, “Everybody needs a villain, don’t we? We need to blame someone at all times.” Um, at some point, West is going to have to blame himself.
