Wednesday Stuff

Keith Olbermann is back, and his timing couldn't possibly be better (to say nothing of more urgently than we ever thought it would have to be - here)...



…and yeah, as Rachel says, when you’re arguing about the percentage of your supporters who are white supremacists as opposed to the fact that you have white supremacists as supporters AT ALL, I would say that you have a problem entirely of your own making and no one else’s…



…and leave it to The Big Orange Cheetoh to reply and shoot himself all over again in the process (here)…

(Oh, and by the way, I don’t have much to add on the stuff about Trump cleanup man mouthpiece excuse-maker VP nominee Mike Pence not calling David Duke “deplorable” because he doesn’t like name calling, made even more ridiculous by his boss’s antics as many others have already noted. I would only point out that, as noted here, Pence once referred to himself as a “cheerful right-wing conservative” when he tried to malign Valerie Plame during the “Scooter” Libby fiasco about outing Plame as a covert operative. As noted here, however, I don’t believe that anyone trying to utilize Planned Parenthood services in Indiana would consider Pence to be “cheerful.” - Update: Um, yep.)

…and I have to admit that, in addition to K.O., I missed Samantha Bee – glad to see that she’s back (here – clipped a bit at the end, though)…



…and by the way, I have a message for everyone screaming about Emails on personal servers and alleged “access” given to Clinton Foundation donors and how she’s really a corporatist Democrat who does the budding of her Wall Street benefactors (not saying that charge isn’t totally without merit, for her or any other politician) – do us all a favor and be quiet long enough to just watch this two-minute video, OK?...



…and happy 61st birthday to Steve Berlin of Los Lobos (and a Philly guy too).
