...While camera operators and stagehands wander in and out of shots, the co-hosts of Breakfast Time, a new morning show on the fX cable network, sidle from room to room in their spacious, apartment-like set in New York City. When not trading quips with a wisecracking hand puppet, they introduce segments that make Good Morning America look like The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour: a visit to an Oklahoma ostrich farm; an interview with a Florida man who makes furniture out of junk; a live report on Hula-Hoopers in the park across the street.

...returning in the wake of a U.S. invasion, Aristide would surely be perceived as an American puppet by many Haitians.
