Seems strangely appropriate:
Oh My God this is comedy gold. Warn me next time I almost ruined another keyboard.
I’m fascinated by the conservative pundits routinely using ratings/twitter followers (or a lack there of) as a rebuttal about whoever it is drawing their ire. Do they think this tact gives them legitimacy? Credence? Are they this daft?
Are you suggesting it doesn’t?

It was only a matter of time before the fawning right wing press emulated Trump and Rubio by engaging in a war of words using taunts you usually hear only in the 5th grade boys locker room.
haha! love it.
OMG. Twitter really is the end of civilization. Do we really have to read the schoolyard bravado and taunts of every victim and bully that ever lived? Did so, did not ad infinitum.
It’s bad enough that this is what passes for discourse at Twitter, but in this case TPM and specifically its reporter Kreuger then feel it’s necessary to pass it on to us, and it was on the same day as the tirade from the Texas official and for what. We get that the Rs are willing to say anything to each other and trash women as often as possible, and there’s no need to make us spectators at their food fights.
Does he actually believe he isn’t?
Ooh, ooh! I know the answer to that one! Call on me!!
Not just daft, but also emotionally about 12 years old.
It really is amazing. In olden days, someone might see something in the press or even hear it on the radio or television and they would either have to write a letter, send a telegram or call someone on the phone, if contact was in fact possible, to protest something or insist on a correction or retraction. Now, thanks to Twitter, people with no filters (like Trump) or maturity (like half the people, apparently, using Twitter in politics) can make a complete ass of himself in nanoseconds.
Actually the “let’s” correction was objectively funny, as in let’s just ridicule and (not lets for let’s) dispense with the schoolyard bravado.
The ultimate ass kisser Hannity, calling somebody else a pawn for the establishment ?
L.O.L.
True, but my greatest (false) hope is that this kind of thing become more widely disseminated.
Walter Cronkite where art thou?!
@breccia
He wasn’t thought of as Uncle Walter for nothing
In the world of infotainment we inhabit, with the emphasis on 'tainment, nothing is verboten, maybe just the hope of seeing more like it.
Sean Hannity is so cute when he gets all riled up. I just want to ruffle his hair and say “Shh! Shh! It’s okay. The bad man can’t hurt you. It’s only a tweet.”
With that behavior, he validates his assholisness.
