CNN's morning analogy: Republicans are pigs.
CNN's New Day devoted its opening segment Thursday morning to worrying that Republicans will attempt to politicize 1/6 hearings and turn them into a spectacle. Unlike those Democrats, who as we know, never politicize hearings! And CNN sympathized with the Democrats' decision to hold many of the hearings behind closed doors.
Co-host John Berman invited on ex-Republican Joe Walsh, introduced as a former "presidential candidate." Who remembers? Walsh made a fleeting appearance in the 2020 Republican race, dropping out posting a paltry 1% in the Iowa caucuses.
Walsh is the ultimate political chameleon, changing from moderate, to conservative, to Tea Party activist, to big Trump supporter, to anti-Trump, to ultimately announcing he was voting for Biden and working to elect Democrats. His repeated pitch was that in the hearings, Dems should be "unafraid" to take on the Republicans.
That led John Berman to say:
"The problem, though, as they used to say to me growing up on the farm, Joe, is the thing is when you wrestle with a pig, you both get dirty and the pig likes it. The Republicans, as you say, they want this to be dirty."

So as per CNN, Republicans are pigs that Democrats should wrestle with.
Meanwhile, anyone have experience with Joe Walsh? I get a creepy vibe from him.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
Not that I believe any polling but I wonder what the average voter thinks about wasting time on a protest at the capital.
This is seemingly the only think the Dems have to run on.
Correction
First line of ping should read:
So as per CNN, Republicans are pigs that Democrats SHOULDN’T wrestle with.
What would CNN do, if perchance, on some cloudy day in the years to come, somebody, in force, storms CNN?
That one might be a creep. He’s in GOV arfter all. I like this one...

thanks, Mark. : )
There were never any hearings on the BLM assault on the White House where more than 50 Secret Service agents were wounded by rioters.
I also remember that CNN and other media were gleefully reporting their “victory” that Trump and his family were moved to a bunker.
If there is a PIG in all this, it’s name is Pelosi.
Just like when they called Sarah Palin a pig.
