Let me speak for just about everybody ... we don't believe that for a moment. But to be fair I don't know if anyone would have been able to respond in real time. It was be all accounts a really embarrassing moment of clarity of message and receipt thereof by the Rethuglican power structure all in attendance that night. This wasn't random people, random people don't get into their events as we know from the past. It's what they do, it's who they are. Your contribution is dismissed if you don't look and act and pray just like they do. They aren't Americans first, they are first part of a clique of rich white people who claim to believe in God but then establish religious hierarchies that pervert that belief by using it as a weapon against those who don't sync up with them. Okay, I'm done.

Just keep this woman talking, about anything. Everything that comes out of her mouth makes her less electable. I hope there's a Democratic operative out there getting footage of all this stuff.

I thought about that as I was writing this. Of course the blogs will be different in that you're clever and I'm a vulgar lounge comedian. And I'll probably find reason almost daily to post some picture of Rupert Penry-Jones. He's on a train. He's holding a tampon. He's ringing the closing bell at the stock exchange. Tampons are a thing in England, right? Wasn't that whole Prince Charles thing with Camilla just the tip of the iceberg? See? Vulgar lounge comedian. Whatever I'm doing, it's being done so I can dump this behemoth of a digital enterprise that requires much more upkeep than many would imagine, but then Rob you know about that. I never thought of you as only covering US television, though. All those Sitting Tennants and French BBC imports and Joanna Page stuff.

I didn't see any apology in the usual locations (and you know how ridiculous I think that whole process is anyway). He did have John Waters on not long after that whole dustup and they talked about it briefly, and Craig did make a comment about the show being a nonjudgmental space, as he does from time to time.

Oh Rob. I liked it. It's summertime and it's light entertainment. It's reasonably funny. Big? I want my portions big but this show doesn't need to be. And I'm clever enough the lot of them. Maybe I'm just making better jokes than they are and laughing at myself? Huh? I liked it. Even without Gosselaar's ass I liked it. He does have a fine ass, however.
