First MTG gets re-elected by the brainiacs in Alabama, then she gets plum assignments in Congress, now her star turn is official with a fawning one-on-one with Lesley Stahl. It’s almost as if the awful lesson Trump taught us, that stupidity, cheating and brutishness will get you ahead in the American idiocracy, was actually valid.
There comes a moment when someone you formerly respected jumps the shark so irredeemably that it’s a goodbye for you.
MAGA Karens like MTG who say The Jews used space lasers to cause forest fires, and school shootings are faked, should NOT be humanized and relatable.
Mike Wallace woulda eaten her for lunch.
60 Minutes started going south in my mind when they had Lara Logan, whose intellectual capacity was never equal to her looks and became a middle-aged MAGA embarrassment later on, as an anchor.
I get that subtext here – the rationale. Shine a light on the cockroaches, they said. The crazies will be exposed, they said.
Bullshit.
There are too many things out there now to follow or watch, so this makes my life easier, like when Lex Fridman had Kanye on, and Megyn Kelly interviewed Alex Jones. Megyn flamed out, not as insanely as Lara though.
At least the Fonz and Pinkie Tuscadero were entertaining.
