Buck Woods tells German-speaking Nazis what he thinks of them while performing in France. Somehow feels relevant these days.
From REUNION IN FRANCE, starring Joan Crawford and John Wayne, released on Christmas, 1942.

I never trusted Ryan Lizza's smirk. I always assumed that as a political journalist he was another Mark Halperin in the making, and two of them is two too many. Halperin, after his #MeToo fall, oozed back into standard pundit hackery while Lizza is oozing in every direction.

Maureen Dowd flitted through my mind because Thanksgiving is coming up, so I'm told, & that's when she annually turns the Times column over to her MAGA brother, whose turkey stuffing is between his ears. Will MoDo be slumming it again this Thanksgiving or will an editor finally say Enough already?

Not digging PLURIBUS, if I'm savagely honest. Whole project seems off--overscaled, overconceptualized, overchoreographed (those delivery trucks), the set pieces show-offy self-contained & strangely weightless. It's all blatantly schematic, which Gilligan's always avoided, & the dialogue is crud.
