Senator John Kennedy's propaganda storm on yesterday's Meet the Press has been the topic of much discussion. After all, it's not every day that a Republican Senator not only spews Russian propaganda but also freely admits he is not a dupe for doing it.
Nicolle Wallace had two questions: What the hell is the matter with him? Why would he say that?
Charlie Sykes, conservative radio host and editor of The Bulwark was scathing.
"This is the guy who has a degree from Oxford. He's not an unintelligent man, yet he comes off as an addled Russian asset on television," Sykes fumed.
"Is this the price now to be paid for currying favor in Trump World? Did he have to go full Devin Nunes on all of this?" he wondered aloud. (Editor's note: Never go full Devin Nunes. Don't do that thing.)
"I think this is part of the dilemma dealing with impeachment -- the willingness of people who ought to know better to peddle this kind of flat-out B.S.," he continued. "It's just this torrent, this hurricane of misinformation from people who you would hope would keep a calmer head about them, a calmer demeanor."
Oh sure. Calmer head, calmer demeanor. Maybe you just stop putting them on television to spew that load of bullshit at viewers instead. That would go a long way toward neutralizing the disinformation and certainly give the rest of us calmer heads and calmer demeanors.
