I wouldn't be surprised, but this is the person who dragged out a sham story about a family not being able to afford milk anymore to try to drag Biden's numbers down, and just like this time, got extremely defensive when called out. The people who think she is lashing out over Afghanistan may have a point too. She's nothing special as an oncamera presence (she's actually incredibly awkward to watch), and as Megyn Kelly showed, even being a generic blonde fantasy figure for a subset of pervs is not enough to keep you in the spotlight. She can keep angling for that Faux News job all she wants, she isn't going to get it. 

Speaking of pieces of [!@#$%^&*] who have never offered anything of value:

I haven't watched cable news in almost a year and it's done wonders for my mental health. And frankly when you look at the numbers compared to the actual population, it's pathetic.  I have never understood Tapper's appeal or gifts. I have never seen it. Whatever shift is allegedly happening at CNN - well I don't watch but it's not like they were not pushing GOP talking points already. They are not going to gain any audience and will end up losing some of what they had. Oh well boo hoo.

I'm curious what folks thinks about Hugo Lowell with The Guardian. I have always found him to be a pretty solid US congressional reporter and his work on the search and recovery of documents at Mar-a-lago has been pretty good. It seems he has gotten more attention as a result. I just hope it doesn't tarnish him.

Bevan, another smarmy figure who gets a Beltway pass, is also trying to revive the media attacks against Mark Udall, this time toward John Fetterman, because of Fetterman campaigning on abortion rights. I wouldn't be surprised if the same media who worked overtime to sink Udall click their heels over this again, as they have been trying their best to help Oz. I don't really know if it would be as effective due to Roe falling.

Nate Cohn has written up a lengthy series of tweets (and a paywalled article) about how the polls this year that are positive for Democrats are a mirage and that they will likely do poorly. I also don't trust polls, and I think Republicans will probably narrowly win the Senate if things keep tilting the way they have lately, but I have a feeling he, and the NYT, would be giddy if the polls were reversed. You can usually sense his unease if the GOP isn't in command.

In what has now become an annual tradition of "outrage" over people left out of award show In Memoriam segments this has got to be the most ridiculous.

First of all, one doubts that the Queen was a member of the television academy.  Second, as if the Queens's death has been trivialized because she wasn't included in a montage on a failing award show designed to promote network TV in America?

    • Awesome Yep, you can hook up a VHS player to a smart TV. Alternatively, Amazon sells some VHS to Digital converters that you can use to directly connect the VCR's AV cables  to a USB on a laptop or PC. They cost about 20 bucks. Any questions or need help, DM me!
    • -- "The role of Ted Richardson is now being played by...." I love that throwback to soaps from yesteryear. I know we don't want BTG to be our grandmother's soap, but sometimes Grandma's soaps had it right. -- I was FULLY prepared to dislike Keith D. Robinson as Ted, and I even went through things in my mind that I could say because I was fine with Maurice Johnson and felt bad for him.     However, Robinson was awfully good, especially for Day 1. He's a different Ted, but he's a good actor -- natural and real. People saying Gates "should have gone older" are head-scratchers since Robinson is older than Johnson. -- I expected Bill to be tougher than he was with Dana, THE worst mother of the year on soaps. -- Kat went toe-to-toe in those scenes with Dana. We're all in love with Ambyr/Eva, but Colby/Kat is also killing it. -- Derek and Ashley? I'm turning on Ashley, who can't even pretend to like Derek, let alone love him. Her annoyance with him is overboard, and I'm also annoyed with the show portraying Derek as a Neanderthal -- to the point of putting "Neanderthal" in his dialogue. Every single thing he does annoys Ashley, which makes me wonder what she ever saw in him. I want him away from her. -- Seeing Derek and Ashley in that bed was hilarious. It looks like a single, not something for two grown adults. -- Ashley and Andre are still a no for me -- a big no. I see no reason why he'd be infatuated with her. None. At least Andre got a smile from her, which she didn't have for Derek, even when he wanted them to get a bigger place. Derek, please dodge the bullet.
    •   I LOVED Hennig’s Stephanie. AK is Stephanie in name only. Stephanie was never boring to me.
    • July 2012, Abe organized a gala that was an autism fundraiser in Lexie's honor.  This was the huge event everyone was attending (except Gabi and Melanie in the tunnels).. -- when the gas explosion occurred and the building collapsed.  The "Daysaster" cliffhanger before the Olympics break.
    • I think maybe Andre is subconsciously looking for a caretaker/nurturer in his life to replace his parents. That would explain his attraction to both Ashley (nurse) and Dani (older woman/his aunt's sister). I don't see any chemistry between Ashley and Andre though. In fact Andre and Derek had more chemistry in the pasta night episode than either of them have ever had with Ashley.
    • My only recollection of Ms Felder in Tom Lissanti's book is that she was not well liked backstage, and nobody was aware of rumors that she was fired because of her looks, including the network executive interviewed for the book.
    • a) you would not be sorry, but  b) full episodes from the first half of '89 are hard to find. 
    • Ya see..., that's why I can't watch this show on my own!

      I'm ripping it for being dumb, meanwhile half the episode goes over my head.  Hello pot, I'm kettle.
    • When put very plainly it wouldn't make sense, but you could say that Ashley would prefer someone that can pay his own way without sharing expenses and has more than a working class experience. Andre might want someone more stable and level headed. Of course the issue is that the characters don't match despite the plausibility of a connection making s
    • I am fine with no one mentioning Bob-ette again.  It's frustrating not ever knowing what was up with him truly or why we wasted so much time on that to never get a conclusion.  I am willing to forget it though. Abe being on the board makes more sense to me because of Lexie and Theo.  I think there was a wing dedicated to Autism research or treatment years ago possibly named after Theo and Lexie was the chief of staff at some points and worked there for years.  I could see Abe having interest in the hospital still.
