From the cable news and talk shows to Joseph Maguire's congressional testimony, the impeachment saga is a can't-look-away small-screen trainwreck.
If there's one thing the last two days have proved, it's that impeachment doesn't bring out the best in people.
He also appeared on a panel, which is never a good idea because Giuliani really doesn't know how to play well with others. "Shut up, moron! You don't even know what you're talking about, idiot!" he yelled at Fox News contributor Christopher Hahn.
Hannity's other guests were a virtual rogues' gallery, including former Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker , who has presumably gone back to his former job of promoting custom toilets for well-endowed men. Alan Dershowitz, referring to the infamous phone call, commented, "I don't see a crime," which isn't surprising because he couldn't see crimes when it came to O.J. Simpson or Claus von Bulow either.
Speaking of Carlson, he seemed to be broadcasting from another universe. Speaking about the "bizarre Ukraine story," he announced, "It seems to be over already." He read excerpts from the phone call summary, making his feelings known about delivering certain portions in sarcastic, exaggerated fashion. "Read it for yourself, don't trust us," he finally urged viewers, which may have been the only truthful thing he said the whole show.
As you might imagine, the hosts at MSNBC had a slightly different take on current events. Chris Hayes and Rachel Maddow both made it sound as if the end of Trump's presidency was imminent. You'd think they would have learned by now that he has way more than nine lives. But unlike their Fox counterparts, they at least had distinguished guests, including actual senators, congresspeople, and, you know, real journalists.
