SHOCKER: Boso shutters consultancy; Accepts White House post; Weekly address 1st project

Noted News/Talk consultant Claude Boso has announced that he is joining President Barack Obama's administration in Washington, and as a result will close his consultancy, Boso Outfit Ltd.

Boso has claimed a major role in every News/Talk success story for the past twenty-five years, but recently has expressed frustration over the failure of his unfortunately high-cost and resume-deflating "Talkradio on HD2" concept.

"This is the logical next step in my storied career," Boso told All The Excess! "My first job will be to turn the President's weekly radio address into a ratings and revenue juggernaut. Right now no one can tell you what station carries the weekly speech, but soon you'll wonder how you spent a Saturday without it."

Boso's immediate plans include adding a live band, audience-participation skits and contests, and a wacky sidekick to act as President Obama's comedy foil during the expanded Saturday address to the nation. According to Boso, "Washington could use a little showmanship. And we're gonna raise that show-biz bar."

"After we fix the weekly address, the sky's the limit," Boso continued, hinting at future plans. "Because it's not enough for Obama just to be President - he wants to be Oprah. And that's the ultimate goal here."
