Who saw The Rachel Maddow show tonight? If you did — her opening bit was a history lesson on debates — will they or won’t they? The most recent example of presidential candidates trying to ditch the tradition was George HW Bush- for which efforts -as Rachel educated us- Bill Clinton goaded him with appearances of a person dressed in a chicken suit at HW’s campaign events. This troubled HW so much that at one event, as she showed in footage - HW was yelling at the chicken. She wound the story nicely until the punchline revealed itself — maybe the Clintons’ might want to go retrieve the chicken costume…
Her show also featured footage from Sesame Street parodying “Donald Grump” and ended with an interview with Garry Trudeau who prophesied Trump’s run 30 years ago. We laughed till we were almost crying — it is worth watching.
anyone have a chicken suit?
