The Chief Propagandist of the American Fascist Party was on teevee today.
Not on basic cable or Fox, but on ABC.
He sat with Arianna Huffington, Paul Krugman, George Will and the mortal remains of Baba Wawa.
He had to unhinge his jaw to accommodate the sheer volume of lies and wingnut twaddle he disgorged during this time on camera.
The Chief Propagandist of the American Fascist Party explained that he was not "in the business of politics".
Arianna Huffington whined to the Chief Propagandist of the American Fascist Party that "words have consequences". The Chief Propagandist for the American Fascist Party figuratively put his cigar out in her face.
The Baltimore Beatdown -- arguably one of the most important political and cultural events in recent memory -- was glossed over for about 11 seconds.
As it was glossed over on every other network teevee show this morning.
The Chief Propagandist of the American Fascist Party opined that the Kenyan Usurper had grossly misread the 2008 elections: that the Kenyan Usurper somehow got the idea that America had given him a mandate a to ram through his Secret Commie Pinko Marxist Treehugger Agenda, whereas the real reason Americans had voted for him was that they were "tired of seeing George Bush on teevee".
Arianna Huffington whined to the Chief Propagandist of the American Fascist Party that Glenn Beck says terrible things.
The Chief Propagandist of the American Fascist Party said that every word Glenn Beck has ever uttered (with one exception) was gold-plated awesome. That we don't want "word police". And that someone had once said something mean about the Chief Propagandist of the American Fascist Partyon Huffington Post, which meant that anything anyone does on the Chief Propagandist of the American Fascist Party's teevee network had now been immunized against any such ciricism by anyone ever.
Then George Will lied for awhile about the history and meaning of the modern filibuster.
Then, for several uncomfortable hours, Baba Wawa riffled through the pages of the Scott Brown nudie "Cosmo" from the 1980s to find the the page where she -- Baba Wawa -- appeared, in order to underscore how brutally time had ravaged her.
Or something.
She did this in the interest of "full disclosure", thus prompting the only moment of genuine, bipartisan unity I have seen in a long time as the rest of the panel looked on in mute horror.
Towards the end, Arianna Huffington asked why the network run by the Chief Propagandist of the American Fascist Party cut away from the Baltimore Beatdown.
Baba Wawa stepped in and said "We're out of time!"
She might have also flashed her tits, but by this point I was in the powder room throwing up everything I had eaten since John Anderson ran for President.
More later.

Do you know how grateful I am that you throw up so that I don't have to?
I am so forever in your debt, Dglass.
Observe the wide jaw, suitable for grains and small rodents.
Ha Ha
I watched a Krugman snippet linked via Crooks and Liars, then came over here and got the grizzly gist of the rest of the segment.
Like Terry says, thanks.
With all the horribility you cover for us, Dg, it's good to find the occasional morsel of humorous nourishment in your stellar reportage.
Laughing beats crying at the mouse circus' antics. Would that we could laugh them off the stage permanently.

Nice review Drifty, thanks.
I saw clips from HuffPo that showed, I think, the whole show. Puke is a good description of what my guts felt.
Aoiles and Will were the intestinal disruption sourcings, Krugman and Huffington not as much.
Your descrip of Will was well done, loved your phrasing.
Ailes DID get smacked down, for the shit he is. And people saw it, so that's good.
I liked the Green Room clip AFTER the show, thought THAT was the best entertainment I've had in a while, as Will just basically soils himself in so many ways it would take a Drifty to paraphrase it.
Talk about a beatdown . . . . Arianna is too nice about it, though, I wish she'd TWIST the blade when pullin it out once plunged in, but no, slips it out clean and neat . . . .
Ailes wants to be President, and he's gonna try to buy it. That's what this was all about, why he crawled out from under his rock into the daylight for a few minutes. Take a good look at this...person. Do you think that he could ever, ever be elected President of the United States, while the United States is still at least a shadow of a Democracy? This is our hope: the most odious, the most powerful, want it all, as it has ever been. They will go too far, and the whole house of cards will crash and burn. Give it some time. Let them have their own way. They are their own worst enemies, and they carry the seeds of their own destruction.
