I’ve heard of going to Hell in a handbasket… but now in an Easter basket?

I was watching FNC yesterday and saw a couple things that made me think that if the phone had gone off at that very moment and the person on the other end of the conversation had been conducting one of those surveys that asks if America is moving in the wrong direction I would have at that particular moment, mind you, immediately and hysterically screamed into his ear: “HELL, YES, IDIOT!”
First there was the segment in which Jon Scott was interviewing Jason Itzler, the individual who claims he introduced Eliot Spitzer’s harlot to prostitution. Throughout the interview he insisted that, before his incarceration, he ran a “classy” operation and repeatedly boasted that he has “good taste.” He was miffed when Scott mistakenly stated that his girls earned $2000 a night. “That’s $2000 an hour,” he snapped.
And then there was Steve Brown illustrating how the whole delegate thing works by using marshmallow PEEPS. He explained – slowly and carefully – that in the state of Iowa the people would conduct part two of a four-part national selection process. There were county conventions, precincts, caucus representatives. Representatives represented here by PEEPS. Obama’s PEEPS, Hillary’s PEEPS, and the jumper candidates’ PEEPS. Some PEEPS will be persuaded to shift their loyalties, said Brown. Change their vote, so to speak. A political power grab? No, a PEEPS grab.
I asked T to watch the segment because I wanted his reaction. I wondered if he would see it as the further dumbing down of America. Like, we are all just PEEPS. He watched with furrowed brow, then said:
“Damn. They make bunny-shaped PEEPS now?”
Today Itzler appeared on an even longer segment, and Steve Brown’s PEEPS story was repeated. Pimps, PEEPS… whatever.
