When Colbert opened the show when he was a guest he shouted: “TONIGHT! Joe Scarborough! I’ll ask him why he has such tiny eyes!” For some reason, this made me fall off the couch laughing.
While that smackdown of Scarborough (who is a monumental tool) was great, the interview itself really sticks in my craw particular as it exemplifies the whole beltway insider consumption of cable news and mainstream media. Why the fuck is a guy, regardless of his qualifications, being essentially interviewed by his daughter on the show that she co-hosts. I mean is that not just the absolute personification of just how effing intertwined the political players on the scene now having an impact on our society and our culture and the people who are supposed to be reporting on this stuff in an unbiased manner are? I realize he’s not now intricately involved in politics, but the point is the same.
