A-Block SPECIAL COMMENT: What if that had been Joe Biden and not Mitch McConnell? What if that had been JOE BIDEN stopping mid-sentence, going glassy eyed and catatonic for 30 seconds, having to be led away by his colleagues, returning only to mumble his insistence he was fine — and a bad joke? What kind of Hell would the Republicans have unleashed on us? “Resignation! 25th Amendment! Cover-up! Seizure! Aneurysm! History! Diagnosis! Prognosis! Body Double!”
And — I get it — 100 Minority Leaders aren’t worth ONE President. But what would Republicans have DONE with this? And what DID Republicans do with Trump’s Covid hospitalization and Trump’s 2019 mystery trip to Walter Reed? What if it was Joe Biden making a bad joke about Mitch McConnell’s health instead of Mitch McConnell making a bad joke about Joe Biden's? And the reporter replies, “Oh nice.” The Republicans, and the news media — partisan and otherwise — would’ve gone insane over this story. Or if it had happened to an elderly Democratic Senate leader.
Plus the Hunter Biden plea deal collapse really hurts Jim Jordan and Jamie Comer — and Jordan admits it. And I swear something is going on at the Trump Grand Jury. Trump is freaking out again. But I’ll be damned if I know what it is. And Marjorie Taylor Greene exceeds her usual boundaries of stupidity. After two dozen listens I still don’t know what she said, and I don’t know what she MEANT to say.
I’m not sure I want to know, personally. Her two brain cells looked at each other and said, “It’s dark in here, and we may die.” (Apologies to Lewis Black.)
B-Block POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Underwater temperatures in the Atlantic off Florida are as hot as a Jacuzzi and the highest on record.
But … but … I thought outlawing the phrase “global warming” meant it wouldn’t happen?
Asphalt temperatures in Arizona are 180° and have sent people to the burn ward who merely fell to the ground. We have skipped “Climate Crisis” and gone right to “Climate Catastrophe.” And he may be finished but Chris Licht ain’t finished. First he destroyed CNN. Now his hope for revenge is destroying Variety.
CHRIS LICHT EATS PASTE!!!
THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Somebody took a Community Note over his vaxxer conspiracy tweet; he just threatened advertisers; he just purloined the handle @X — yes, Elon Musk takes Win, Place and Show. C-Block THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Saturday would’ve been my Dad’s 94th Birthday. I don’t know which seems weirder to write here: “94th” or “would’ve”.
That’s all the damage for now. Good morning, good afternoon, good night, and good luck!
EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY
