NBC Wunderkind Silverman Lashes Out On "Moron," "D-Girl" Execs At ABC, Fox In New Esquire Article

Esquire:

The fire marshal has seen enough. It's only 9:00 P.M., but he's instituted a strict one-in, one-out policy as the annual NBC pre-Emmy party at Spago in Beverly Hills devolves into a chaotic mess.

Has anyone noticed that the violence has dropped in Iraq since the investigations of Blackwater began? A private 180,000 army needs war to make money...bo­ttom line. Have they been the cause of all of the violence to secure billions from our treasury? Something to think about. Possibly Ike was right!

Television is like a dinner buffet. You can pick and choose. Technology keeps advancing, but quality content less so.
