Story time. My wife's post here reminds me of one of my favorite stories from my time on the Hill, of which there are many. I was in Comms for a Dem member, and the Caucus would put on a weekly talking points seminar for comms staffers. More often than not, these were run by Third Way.

“It only hurt me as a father to hear people saying stuff that was negative that wasn’t true to bring him down,” Karl Towns said. “But in the end, it all paid up. Jimmy ain’t got no championship. Karl bypassed him.” Still so happy for Karl and his dad. And fuck Jimmy Butler.

I get that Schmitt is an idiot but this clip just makes me embarrassed for Klobuchar. This should have been a clean and easy kill and instead she’s stammering about checking facts and the gophers. A decade of pro wrestling and senate dems still think they’re in debate club.
