- (2:06) SPECIAL COMMENT: I watched the Republican Debate so you didn’t have to, and there was actually a surprise. Trump isn’t leading by such a huge margin solely because of his cult and their craziness. He is leading by such a huge margin because DeSantis is a pull-string toy. He is rehearsed, wooden, confused, inflexible. At one point a moderator said, “That isn’t the question, Governor,” and he replied, “I know,” like he was proud of it. Also: everybody hates Ramaswamy and there is a perfect word to describe him and that word was supplied by my Pittsburgh-bred friend Howard Fineman: “Jagoff”.
If Ronald “Tanless Android” DeSantis was a dinosaur, he’d be a jakovasaur.
HOORAY! Keith finally spelled her name right!
- And maybe bigger than all, there is a scandal involving ABC News, CBS, CNN, NBC, the Washington Post, the New York Times, and other news outlets and I doubt anybody will notice but it drove me to distraction. Why, the night before the debate, did a dozen of the leading political reporters and editors think it was cool to have a meal with Jason Miller and two other thugs from the Trump Campaign and let them get schmoozed by them and let Miller try out his latest attacks on DeSantis? The Trump people want to dismember the press and maybe individual reporters. With the BEST of politicians you must keep yourself at arm’s length — and these are the worst of them. They (and they include Dana Bash, Robert Costa, and Kristen Welker) should all be fired.

- (43:33) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: No, Rudy Giuliani did not fall from grace. He’s ALWAYS been like that. You just didn’t know him in 1996 — I did. He was nuts then, too.
Olbermann shared more stories in a 2020 episode of “Olbermann vs. Trump”.
That’s all the damage for now. Good morning, good afternoon, good night, and good luck!
