Sunday Morning Came and Went

The estimable Charlie Pierce will now be adding kicking around the clowns at the Mouse Circus --

Welcome back to our semi-regular survey of the state of Our National Dialogue, which is pretty much what upright salamanders would be talking about had the big meteor not arrived off Yucatan, and which will henceforth be appearing here on Mondays, because the gobshites are always strong on Sundays.

-- to kicking around Our Mr. Brooks as part of his regular rotation.

Finally!

(Seriously, Charlie, I've also got some old suits I don't wear anymore and the numbers for some ex-girlfriends if you'd like those too :-)

Also, the answer to the question embedded in Mr. Pierce's rhetorical barrage --

And then they talked about... HOLY CRAP, IT'S MICHELE BACHMANN!

That's the lie that happens under Obamacare. The President Of The United States effectively becomes a health-care dictator.

"Let me get in here because we're running out of time," the Dancing Master [David Gregory] interjected. "Congresswoman Bachmann, are you fully behind Mitt Romney for president?"

Nice save, Dave. A crackpot woman who has a political career at all because she could be counted on to say crackpot things on television says a crackpot thing right in front of you and the best you can come up with is whether or not she's supports the Romneybot 2.0? Why is this woman on TV at all? She leads nothing. She's not a major player in any political party.

-- is simple: Michele Bachmann is on TV because David Gregory put her there.

Which, to me, makes the answer to the question "Why is this man on TV at all?"

a much more interesting topic of inquiry.
