I just turned on the TV for a few minutes and switched to MSNBC. Where I found Rachel Maddow going on and on about the fact that Mitt Romney once called the residents of Afghanistan “Afghanis” instead of Afghans. That got tedious after the fifth or sixth bit of snark, so I switched over to Fox. Where Sean Hannity and a pair of guests were guffawing over the fact that Barack Obama once referred to the “Austrian” language and mispronounced “corpsman.” Yuck yuck.
This is why I hate politics sometimes. And it’s why I hate TV almost all the time.
