Last Friday MSNBC's Willie Geist did a 3 minute "week in review" (embedded below), feauturing three "man-bites-dog" stories from the prior week. In the first minute he discusses an elementary school play based on the ultra-violent Al Pacino movie Scarface. The second minute concerns a minor league hockey coach going berzerk during a game. These two stories were ok. But if you watch this video, I think you can even skip over them and fast-forward to the 2:10 mark.
It's the last story, the last minute of this 3 minute clip, that's the real gold. It's about the scandal last week concerning Republican National Committee staffers who expensed an evening at an upscale, bondage-themed nightclub in Hollywood called "Voyeur." The fact that this is discussed while Devo's "Whip it" plays in the background is funny enough. But watch for the video of the DNC staffer, who had been brought on live television to gloat over this RNC mis-step, as he curiously begins to stammer and hedge when asked the seeming softball question, "could this ever happen at the DNC?" Priceless. And so telling about both political parties.
