This Is (Almost) Too Sad To Poke Fun At
“Geena Davis will be at the National Press Club tomorrow (Thurs) along with Marie Wilson from the White House Project to discuss the cancellation of ‘Commander in Chief.’”
We were going to mention this to you, in case some of you might want to attend. But then, a few hours later, we learned:
The Geena Davis / White House Project event that was originally scheduled for tomorrow at the Natl. Press Club has been cancelled.
Poor Geena! What caused this “meta-cancellation”? Was George Clooney dropping by the NPC yet again?
Update: As it turns out, Davis wasn’t dissed — which shouldn’t be surprising, considering that even a TV actress with a cancelled show is still a bona fide celebrity (and everyone in this town has a hard-on for bona fide celebrities).
Apparently a scheduling conflict with Davis developed late yesterday. The White House Project will reschedule either the NPC luncheon or newsmaker event for sometime in June or July.

Bush as in the president and not — oh, nevermind! If there’s one thing the new ABC series Commander in Chief has got covered it’s spotlighting the executive ovaries, even if they are meant to be made of steel. (Angela Merkel may ask what Bavarian hometown an underling’s from, but there’s absolutely no fruit baskets or pleasantries about the kids until unemployment is history.)
The Geena Davis vehicle debuted in the Nielsen Top Ten this week, leaving The West Wing — which, with a 37 percent viewership, is exactly as popular as the current POTUS — flapping feebly into the syndication sunset.
The series is in the midst of a presidential campaign involving characters played by Alan Alda and Jimmy Smits. The show will have a live episode November 6 featuring them debating.
