It’s misspelled very commonly even by the hoi polloi here. I’m not sure why that is, maybe because it’s an uncommon name using uncommon letters, or it’s a deliberate attempt to insult him by showing disregard for his name. I’ve even misspelled it myself once, early on in the Batgirl saga. It wasn’t intentional on my…

Morgenthau was partly the model for Adam Schiff. 

The character, no*, but Waterston... well, maybe also no, but it was, what, 3 minutes of screen time a week (not counting this last episode, that is) and like half an hour of prep and filming, for what had to be a pretty good paycheck? Hard to say no to that.

Either from Laurel Canyon or an accidental Spike Lee tweet.

Law and Order: A Place for Mom

One person you won’t see in this photo, though, is House Of The Dragon’s Milly Alcock.

The media played a heavy hand in pushing both candidates, though I would argue Trump is exactly what the GOP wants because their enthusiasm levels for Trump is much higher than the Dems for Biden.

His criticism of Biden, to me, felt more like a coach frustrated with a player on his team not performing to expectations.

Melissa Barrera fired from a gig for her pro Palestinian remarks but people still think ‘greatest movie star of our time’ and ‘second in command to a dangerous cult’ in the same sentence are ok. Get this man a contract!‘

I read the criticism before seeing the show and came away much more impressed with Stewart than the internet. The explicit metaphor used at the end of the show was “Biden might not be the Conan we need to take on Trump’s barbarian hordes.  Ultimately, if you want the world to be a better place, get off your ass and do…

Same with Maddow. He paid her $400 out of his own pocket once and gave her some teleprompter tips when she was getting started, and yet she doesn’t show him the proper fealty now.

Right?  Every criticism of Biden was followed up with Trump doing the exact same thing.  Did anyone complaining actually watch it? 

I mean people in their 50/60s/70s lament bad candidates as if they have any experience with this not being 100% normal for our system.

not like it’s embarrassing, or anything.

They had a showbiz-related falling out. Olbermann missed a DS booking - cancelling at the last minute. Stewart ripped him a new one. New York anchor desks seem to breed at best sharp elbows, at worst kaiju sized egos who do not forgive - and grow nastier with age.

Whataboutism is usually just a poor defense of someone’s hypocrisy.

I listened to a couple of his podcasts. He hates almost everyone he’s ever worked with. He really hates Katy Tur. He even hates Rachel Maddow now.

Bitching about bothsiderism is exactly the same as the MAGA whataboutism mindset.

Something about that struck me as wrong while I was writing it, but back in the day Carlson and Hannity were still really similar types of assholes, so much so that I could only tell them apart by their neckwear. But yeah, I didn’t remember Begala at all.
