Not the best week to have a lot to do and not a lot to say, but GRod’s TV tour just doesn’t interest me, weirdly. It’s clearly designed to draw as much attention from the impeachment trial as possible (lending some credence to John Kass’s belief that he’s of sound mind), and judging from coverage, it’s working. I don’t exactly know what the goal is, but he’s pitting readers against television watchers and he clearly has the numbers.
Update II: Rich Miller is very good at addressing the question WTF?!?, and today he asks media blitz WTF? I’d kicked around the idea that Blago was trying to influence the jury pool, but as Miller and Natasha Korecki point out, that isn’t really how it works. Like I said, I think he’s just trying to distract people from the impeachment, but I have no idea why. I don’t know if he does, either.
