The Morning Rant

Back when I was a youngster CBS '60 Minutes' was an interesting television magazine show. Of course it being a CBS show there was always a left lean to it. But it was quite a relevant show. That is until 2004 during the formative years of the internet and conservative talk radio. '60 Minutes' was no longer untouchable.

The new media chewed on Mary Mapes and Dan Blather Rather and spit them out. The ploy by '60 Minutes' to derail George W. Bush presidential bid failed.

Dan Rather would soon be out of a job at CBS. George W. Bush became president. And the prestigious '60 Minutes' was no longer prestigious.

Of course over the years CBS learned nothing of value from Rathergate. '60 Minutes' thought it could derail the Bush presidential run. Wrong. Twenty years later '60 Minutes' thought it could help out the democratic presidential nominee Kamala (The San Francisco Head Hunter) Harris.

Well we all know how that blatant election interference is working out at the moment. President Trump has sued CBS. And if that isn't enough of a headache for CBS the FCC is now involved.

So if an average Citizen Joe like myself knows '60 Minutes' is irrelevant and a looming disaster why would a sitting Republican Senator sit for them? Well of course it would be Mitch McConnell, retired Minority Leader and poster child for mandatory retirement and/or term limits.

This was probably McConnell's last interview of any kind of importance. Will McConnell be remembered as a sharp Senate tactician? Yes, some will remember him as that.
He certainly won't be remembered as a budget hawk. His last interview conducted by the witch Leslie Stahl demonstrated that Trump Derangement Syndrome is alive and well with Mitch and CBS.
