(excerpt .... and essentially the point of the article ....)
The Senate debate was aired on C-SPAN2, where it pre-empted a discussion of a book on President Richard Nixon by Kevin Mattson. The book title ['Just Plain Dick'] loomed over the frame, sparking amusement and some consternation on Twitter.
Then, on Tuesday night as the House considered a vote on the rules for its fiscal cliff debate, it was noted that the program appearing on C-SPAN2 at that time was 'I Want You to Shut the F#ck Up.' The House debate was carried on the main C-SPAN, but the coincidence of the schedule led many on Twitter to wonder if the site had been hacked. It had not. Rather, the title referred to a discussion being aired of comic D.L. Hughley’s book on politics.

That is outstanding!! Longtime Book-TV guy. Don Tiny, get your husky ass scribbling away at a non-fiction book and I will emcee it. We can have a Q&A and excerpt reading at Katie O Connors. I have seen worse books get airtime on Book-TV.
