Keith Olbermann described last night's CNN "town hall" with Benedict Donald as akin to the Hindenburg, but we're going with Buster Keaton's 1926 masterpiece, The General.
Did we watch the "town hall"? The answer is no. Like the Oscars, why waste your time when you can read all about it in three minutes the next morning? But online, we could easily and immediately glean that, under its new leadership, CNN believes they should become the new Fox. How far away are they from making an offer to Tucker Carlson? Don't laugh, it could happen.
Trump, of course, was his usual lying, whining, self-pitying, gaslighting self, running roughshod over the hapless Kaitlin Collins and egged on mightily by the wildly applauding studio audience. (No need to feel sorry for Collins — here's your handy reminder that she used to work for The Daily Caller.) If there's any justice in the world, CNN will experience the tremendous backlash they deserve. For our part, we have no plans to ever visit that channel again.
There are consolations, however: The New Hampshire audience is not, repeat, not representative of America, and anyone who tries to sell you that tired line is a BSer of the highest order. But the "town hall" handed Democrats across the country a lot of great campaign ads. (In fact, Team Biden has already done one.) Trump gave Jack Smith and Fani Willis additional ammunition as they weigh their January 6 and Georgia indictments. Women voters — key to anyone's victory in 2024 — got to hear Trump mock a sexual assault survivor. And E. Jean Carroll could possibly be due another $5 million. We cats PURR.
