A Cable News Rant in 35 Words or Less

I turned on the CNN’s coverage of the Democratic National Convention for the first time, and within 6 seconds I heard Carl Bernstein refer to the “national Clinton psychodrama.” Shoot me now.

Bernstein seems to have a hangup with the idea of a Clinton “psychodrama.” Or maybe he just needs a thesaurus.

for “psychodrama.” And that’s just the tip of the Bernstein Clinton psychodrama iceberg.

Maybe it’s just me, but when I think of Carl Bernstein and psychodrama, the first thing that comes to mind is the brilliant 1999 film *Dick.*

I’m with John – any future Clinton Psychodramas should be left to the free market.

“Shoot me now.” Oh, John, that is such an NC thing to say!

Bernstein wouldn’t actually recognize a psycho drama if he met it in the road.
