Episode #57 of the Countdown podcast is up.
A-Block (2:09) SPECIAL COMMENT: “It is THE commercial: ‘You’re damn right gas prices are rising again,’ Joe Biden or Nancy Pelosi or Barack Obama or somebody says as THE commercial begins. ‘Because the bone-cutting Saudis and the genocidal Russians and their Republican prostitutes here are raising your gas prices, deliberately.’ THE commercial then runs through the rest of the Republican platform for the midterms.”
But even as Kevin McCarthy goes on the record threatening another Debt Ceiling Crisis as a lever to cut Social Security and Medicare, THE commercial doesn’t exist.
There could be a dozen versions of THE commercial — the one where the FBI perp-walks the child pornographer only to have Marjorie Trailer Park Greene swoop in and defund the Bureau and free the suspect. Or the one with Trump, on tape, handing Woodward the Kim Jong Un letters and saying “Oh, those are so top secret. Don’t say I gave them to you!”
But with 20 days left until the midterms we are still hung up on safe arguments and with being better than the fascists. We have 20 days! Where is the urgency? Where is THE COMMERCIAL? B-Block (16:16) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Hitchcock, in Georgia.
(17:41) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Marco Rubio’s argument against Drop Boxes: They could blow up! And speaking of blowing up, there’s John Durham.
(19:28) IN SPORTS: Amazon buys an NFL game for Black Friday, and did the Jerry Jones-Bob Kraft swearfest have a … happy ending?
(21:17) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Tudor Dixon vows to stop “Critical Race Training” in Michigan, and competes with an Idaho lobbyist who compares drag shows to blackface, and the Fox News dingbat who says nobody who hasn't had a child can talk about abortion, for the honors. C-Block (26:53) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: It’s 38 years since I left Channel 5 in Boston, and had to say farewell to the man who gave me one of the best pieces of advice I ever received. As a hundred fans appeared out of nowhere to cheer him, I asked anchorman Chet Curtis “How do you get USED to this?” His priceless advice: “DON’T.”
As Keith himself says: Well, that’s all the damage I can do here for now. Good morning, good afternoon, good night, and good luck.
As he doesn’t say: 22 days until the day after the midterms, when Donald Trump will be arrested (maybe).
