When it suits the liberal media, they will adopt even the worst slurs of those on the right. Take John Avlon on CNN this morning, who recycled failed Republican WV Senatorial primary candidate Don Blankenship’s characterization of Mitch McConnell as “Cocaine Mitch.”
Avlon was commenting on the past maneuvers McConnell had made that now put Republicans in a strong position to confirm President Trump’s nominee to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court. Said Avlon:
“So much for being the institutionalist that McConnell pretends to be here. Let’s just call the hypocrisy out. This is Cocaine and Champagne Mitch. I mean, he’s on a bender.”

CNN’s Avlon repeats Blankenship’s characterization of McConnell as “Cocaine Mitch.”
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
PS: FReepers like to refer to Chris Cuomo as “Fredo.” Cuomo’s successor as host, John Berman, took a related shot at Cuomo this morning, saying he was “the perfect example of the weak suffering as they must.”
Who is the smirking goblin in the lower left of that picture? He looks like a pedo in a toy store.
Why do they call him Cocaine Mitch ? I’m out of the loop on this..
David Chalian, CNN’s political director.
Yahoo News fired Chalian after he was caught on a hot-mic during an online video broadcast saying that Republican convention officials had no problem with African Americans suffering as a result of Hurricane Isaac.

Thanks for the link.
Many of the WaPo’s fact checks need their own fact checking, but this one seemed straightforward.
Poor Avlon, he still doesn’t get it. Still a clueless hack. You can kick McConnell all you want. Doesn’t matter in the slightest. We (the people) will have a new American Supreme Court Justice this fall. Not because McConnell wants it but because we demand it. Because we will vote any obstructionist, resistance, asshat out! We are done. Not going backwards anymore. So laugh it up while you can clown boy.
What does that mean?
McConnell postponed Obama’s pick for Supreme Court saying it should be choice by the people, meaning the next president should have the right to choose.
So, these idiot lefties are saying he’s a hypocrite and should wait until AFTER the Fall elections to choose a SCOTUS.
Trump is still in office. Obama was leaving office.
No hypocrisy here IMO.
Amazing how things are coming around to Trump. One thing after another.
A Clinton Administration may have had three picks by now. These rulings could have been 7-2 with a deluge of future cases that would ultimately make the Constitution UN-Constituional.
Is that "Cocaine Barack?"

Of course, this 'veer to the left' is nothing new.
