It's False Equivalency Time!

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Diomedes, Breaker of Horses!

Wow. Muir tries his usual approach to an undeniable, 'won't go away if he shuts his eyes' Republican scandal--insist that a Democratic scandal is just as bad. The problem is in this case, he's chosen a "scandal" that isn't even Democratic. He mentions one unaffliated nutso who was arrested for threatening a Republican, while ignoring the small horde of death threats and violent actions against Democratic Reps--including at least one that involved severing gas lines at a house the assailant thought was the Rep's. (It was in fact the Rep's brother's.) But Muir ignores those, to focus on this lone man, who represents what he is certain is the truth--Democrats are violent thugs. That's why he's making all the war noises.

To end this the way Muir would end a strip--I didn't realize Muir lived in Egypt. Because damn it, he's deep in denial.

*Drumroll*

Thank you. I'll be here all week. Try the veal.
