Topic A With Tina Brown

Gawker.com's Henry the Intern pretty much got everything in his report on Tina Brown's show last night:

"In an awkward transition to a lighter topic (and a pointless segment), Tina asked for 'a quick gallop' through the 'dog and pony show' of the television upfronts. Sharon Waxman, of The New York Times, said NBC's Jeff Zucker was 'prancing' and ABC's presentation was like a wake (or, Tina thought, like the Seven Year War). TV Guide's Stephen Battaglio said ABC's new wife-swap reality show 'has more to do with vacuuming than sex.' Tina was charmed: 'vacuuming and sex - that's what life is.'"

Yeah, as if Tina has ever changed vaccum bags. A couple of notes: Steve Battaglia was wearing this very disconcerting gold mesh eye shadow. And, yeah, it looks like ABC is nearly dead in the water.
