“I think he’s in a place where the only thing that might save him would be a performance or several performances by Joe Biden in which his senility — which I think is been obvious to careful watchers for some time — becomes utterly obvious and people begin to say, ‘Wait a minute, we really can’t have this guy in …

“Look, haven’t the medical authorities been telling us all this time that to avoid infection you stay a certain distance apart and you wear masks and even in certain circumstances you might have a partition that separates you from others, and that way you can get on with life. “There’s a real need in this country to get on with …

“I suspect that the president will do his best to try to get Biden off his game and rattle him, and hope that the confusion that senile people often experience will come into play. “But I don’t think that can be counted on, and I’m not sure it was at all wise for the president to talk, as he did …

The Washington Post reports: Hours after President Trump was spotted Monday partaking in public Memorial Day remembrances without a face mask, he hopped on Twitter to retweet a Fox News commentator criticizing former vice president Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee, for wearing one. “This might help explain why Trump doesn’t like to wear a mask in public,” Brit Hume, …

Mediaite reports: Fox News analyst Brit Hume raised eyebrows Thursday by circulating a Twitter thread — from a user who self-describes as an “extreme salesman” — claiming New York has “inflated” its death toll from the coronavirus.

Fox News reports: Mayor Pete Buttigieg is the “most impressive… candidate” in terms of political talent in the current 2020 Democratic presidential field, Brit Hume said, comparing the South Bend, Ind. mayor’s rise in popularity to the “emergence of Barack Obama.” “I think Pete Buttigieg is the most impressive, by far, candidate in terms of just raw political talent in …

The Hill reports: Fox News analyst Brit Hume took a swipe at President Trump over his tweet offering condolences to the family of GOP Sen. John McCain (Ariz.), who died Saturday at the age of 81.

The Daily Beast reports: Fox News political analyst Brit Hume late Tuesday offered reassurances on Twitter that he is not “having fantasies about Trump’s penis” in a heated debate about the president’s recent physical exam.

Gawker is reporting on explosive speculation from the Miami Herald that has apparently been a decade-long rumor in the DC press corps, even though it’s not seen much print. The rumor, in brief, is as follows: In the summer of 1997, the Hill’s Sandy Hume—the then-28-year-old son of Fox News’ Brit Hume—broke a blockbuster story about four GOP congressman who …

In addition to being a terrorist, apparently I’m also a sexual anarchist, whatever that is. This, according to Liberty Counsel’s Matt Barber, who is continuing his campaign of excising JMG comments whenever he thinks they suit his Christofascist means. From his column about the public’s reaction to Fox News anchor Brit Hume calling on Tiger Woods to convert to Christianity: …

Dan Savage appeared on Keith Olbermann’s show last night to rebut Fox anchor Brit Hume’s claim that if Tiger Woods had only been a Christian, he wouldn’t be the cheating pussy hound that he is. Classic Dan Savage.

Brit Hume says that Tiger Woods wouldn’t have been cheating if he’d just been a Christian. Like non-adulterous Christians such as Newt Gingrich, Rudy Giuliani, Tom DeLay, Sen. John Ensign, Gov. Mark Sanford, Ted Haggard, etc, etc, etc, etc.
