I remember the first time I saw Rachel Maddow on MSNBC’s Tucker Carlson show. As is my annoying (to the rest of my house full of normal people) habit, I was working on other things with the TV turned up, keeping up with political arguments, but not just vegging on the couch and devoting my full attention.
“Can you turn that off?” I asked my wife who was walking past the blaring tube, “I can’t deal with Ron Reagan Junior’s smug act right now.”
She looked at me quizzically and said, “Umm, I’m pretty sure that’s a woman…”

I was reminded of this the other night, when Chris Matthews hauled Ron Reagan Jr. out of obscure exile as an Air America radio host as his baffling choice to debate a true foreign policy expert, Frank Gaffney, on Dick Cheney’s critique of the Obama foreign policy drift. Ben Johnson beat me to the punch (and Reagan to a pulp) on the substance of that appearance, here, here and here, and Paul Cooper here. It was such an incredibly stupid 6 minutes of television, that I wouldn’t be surprised if someone finds something else worth blogging about.
