I thought this might be a touchy subject in liberal circles, but (the good) Roger Ailes says it, and he's absolutely right: "I'd Rather Eat Pants," the "comedy" that infested NPR's Morning Edition all last week, was unspeakably awful. (Dumb surfer dudes! Mispronounced Jewish names! The word "tuchis"! What could be funnier -- if you've been in a coma for the past thirty to fifty years?)

And Roger is right that Susan Stamberg is insufferable, too. Are there any good progressive ideas (feminism, skepticism about bellicose superpowers) that she hasn't managed to reduce to superficial treacle, which she then presents in the grating voice of a condescending kindergarten teacher?

In my household we listen to stuff like this and say, "This is why people vote Republican."
