Heidi comes to Washington

Anyone who grew up a football fan in the US in the late 1960's remembers the Heidi game, in which NBC cut off a crucial Jets-Raiders football game in order to show the classic movie Heidi.

NBC did it again on Thursday, cutting off the telecast of the Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, in which Chuck (Hagel) was getting roasted, in favor of its regular programming (Hat Tip: Jack W). They apparently did not want their audience to see an Obama nominee so embarraased.

Heidi ho!
