Episode #79 of the Countdown podcast is up. Here’s the summary, with an extra dose or two of snark.
A-Block (1:28)
- How could the Republicans be THIS stupid? The man who will lead their attack on Hunter and Joe Biden, Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, has been credibly accused by his college girlfriend of violence, psychological abuse, threatening her life, and driving her to the clinic to abort their child.
- Did they think that because the story broke seven years ago it had fallen off the internet? The first full day they are the Majority-Elect they trot out a new head of House Oversight, James Comer of Kentucky, who announces a Hunter Biden investigation and then says, “I want to be clear: This is an investigation of JOE Biden.”
- No, let ME be clear: this needs to be an investigation of JAMES COMER. This is where this crap STOPS.
- You don’t like this kind of stuff? This is the only way to STOP this kind of stuff: the bully has to get the crap beaten out of him, and James Comer is the bully here. Let’s Go.
- What the GOP should’ve announced it was investigating was Ticketmaster.
- Still the co-defendant in the Republican Investigation Machine is the media. The Washington Examiner and Red State didn’t headline Comer’s Folly over Pelosi’s Retirement — CNN and The New York Times did.
- And once again CNN’s Chief Chris Licht stepped right up with that big “Hit Me” sign around his neck and said “So the play is not to be offensive to a side, right?” I’ll explain how wrong he is.
- The good news is: the Democrats are finally getting smart, and David Brock has left Media Matters to run a “SWAT Team” that will investigate the GOP investigators. And they can start with the James Comer scandal. Oh, did I mention the James Comer scandal?
