Sunday Morning Comin' Down: Special "Corrupt Slab of New Jersey Political Flotsam Has Thoughts About Guns" Edition

Spoiler:  He swears Both Sides are to blame

Once in a great long while the stink from the filthiest lie in politics -- the Both Sides Do It lie -- overwhelms the filters of even the most dedicated Sunday Show Beltway hack.  And in than brief moment, it is possible for something resembling to truth squeak through.

However, this headline from Raw Story is just wrong: 

ABC host calls out Chris Christie for blaming mass shootings on 'both sides'.

George Stephanopoulos' did not summon anything resembling the testicular fortitude necessary to actually "call out" Christie.

Instead, after Christie bragging about New Jersey laws already being tough enough on guns, Stephanopoulos by very gingerly touched on the current state of Christie's Republican party:

Stephanopoulos:  It does appear that there's been a hardening in the Republican Party around this issue. 

Then, out of Christie's Lie Hole came the voice of two decades of David Fucking Brooks.  The inevitable all-occassion, Beltway-media-authorized get-out-of-accountability-free excuse for every Republican atrocity:

Christie:  Well, I think there's been a hardening on both sides. I think it's just a constant symptom of where we are in the country right now. This is one issue that that's an example of but there are many others where people in each party have decided that there's no compromise here because there's no one on the other side willing to compromise and they say that about each other and point fingers both ways.

And this is sum total of all the courage that Stephanopoulos could muster.

Stephanopoulos:  Is this really a 'both sides' issue though? 

Then Christie filibustered for what seemed like hour, tossing out every turd in the Both Siderist Turd Bag.

The Donna Brazile --  who has returned to ABC through the Beltway pundit revolving from her years on Fox -- did a "What about the children?!?" bit which moved no one and changed nothing.

Here's the video, if you can stomach it:

Of course, Stephanopoulos' original sin here wasn't his moral cowardice in letting Christie bluster and bully on his show.  It was his moral cowardice in putting that corrupt slab of New Jersey political flotsam on his show in the first place.

But after decades of documenting the perversity of the Sunday Shows, I expected nothing else.
