Meet the Press goes Full Chipotle

LOL. Ok. I turned off Meet the Press. Not watching it.

Watch “the Daily Show” clip making fun of our press, as that is faaar more worth your time than this crap.

It’s really a testament to the sorry state of the GOP and our corporate media when *all* of the GOP panel members bring up the “Chipotle Video” (close circuit video of Hillary Clinton ordering a burrito without fanfare) as an example of how Clinton is out of touch and old and boring.

I know, I know, it’s a constant Sunday morning lament. But it’s a really sorry state of affairs, and there’s little wonder as to why folks lose interest so quickly in sorting through it all.
