Political Poo Porritt: AOC is a Rookie, Rudy Stoogiani, O.J's Confession on Fox, Corey Screwendowski, The Close Of A Decade and The MM Loves Cokie Roberts (heart emoji)

Sorry this is a long one (that's what she said) My radio co-host is back and during her time on the radio she also reported the news.  Here are some of the idiiotic people, rabbit holes and topics we talk about: Alexandria Ocasio "I'm in My Rookie Year" blah,blah,blah says that it's a national scandal that the democratic party isn't moving to impeach Trump.  Remember what happened when we impeached Clinton? Yeah, nothing. AOC is just trying to get attention and get re-elected. Rudy Giuliani…he is every late night talk show host's dream in terms of the moronic things he says.  I play a clip from an interview he did with Chris Cuomo on CNN where he says within about 10 seconds that he both DID NOT and then DID ask the Ukraine Government to investigate Joe Biden and his son.  I don't know what to call it other than idiotic. He gets the My Favorite Moron award for this episode. Somehow O.J. Simpson comes up and I never knew that Fox had produced a special interview with OJ where he basically confesses to the murders…. And they never aired it.  Link at the bottom of the description for that not very pleasant clip.  Then we talk briefly about NPR and ABC journalist Cokie Roberts.  She passed away in Mid September and she was special to me and I can't quite say how considering I don't really have much of an affection for politics.  But she had an affection for politics and presented it in a way that I never felt there was an angle or anything other than that she was helping me understand the chaos of our political system.  Along with Linda Wertheimer and Nina Totenberg, they came to be known as The "Founding Mothers of NPR". There are many tributes and articles on Cokie Roberts and I will post a couple of them after the episode description. We also hit upon the ridiculous Corey Lewendowski Hearing.  If you missed it good for you, because it makes one ashamed of our current political process.  Lewendowsky is Trump's former Campaign manager and democrats are after him regarding Russian interference in the 2016 election.  The hearing was a stonewalling. It was a contest to see which politician can talk the longest without caving in and acknowledging someone else said something.  It shows that Politics has become and probably always has been a yelling contest.   We wrap up by talking about the wrapping up of this decade.  Definitely a decade of learning how to use technology. Now we're able to see in more personal ways, the effects of propaganda.  Getting to the truth is now so much more difficult. For journalists and for the public who is now a generator of propaganda along with foreign countries.  I never thought I would be this friggin' up to my neck in politics! And when did you ever think the Ukraine would be such an influence in U.S. politics? It just keeps getting crazier.
