He forgot using chemical weapons on US citizens to get a photo-op with an upside down bible
Edit: I stand corrected, it was not upside down
After living through four years I don’t think I can take two minutes more.
No thanks. Watching that sounds about as appealing as what the villain got at the end of the movie The Crow, when he received 30 hours of pain all at once.
Of course this is different in that we’re talking about four years of pain.
It wasn’t upside down. In a stunning display of adequacy, he managed to hold a holy book he’s happy to use as a prop, but otherwise cares nothing about, the right way up.
I have always found Mr. Hasan to be an excellent journalist and incisive interviewer. He does a podcast called “Deconstructed” for The Intercept. https://theintercept.com/podcasts/deconstructed/ I highly recommend it.
That’s the short version. McSweeney’s listed 964 items.
Give him another hour to finish with the tip of the iceberg.
Just one correction. “Shithole countries” not “asshole countries.” He admires asshole countries.
Withdrawn! You’re right. He took the high and/or peacock broadcast standards road.
I think he said “S-hole”.
He quit the podcast for this peacock show. It was always great summary of recent political events. Hopefully the successor will be equally good.
