Woah, Nelly! Today’s BradCast<\/i><\/a> may arguably be both the dumbest and<\/i> most fun ever! [Audio link to full show follows this summary.<\/i>]<\/p>\n

The subject material — Wednesday night’s ridiculous GOP 2024 “Presidential Primary Debate” (if it’s even worth calling it that) at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library out here in Simi Valley, California — is what makes it dumb. <\/p>\n

It featured seven “candidates” — former Vice President Mike Pence<\/b>, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis<\/b>, former South Carolina Gov. and UN Ambassador Nikki Haley<\/b>, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott<\/b>, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie<\/b>, supposed businessman Vivek Ramaswamy<\/b> and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum<\/b> — but not the much-indicted guy who Republicans apparently intend, for now, to actually nominate for the job next year.<\/p>\n

Our excellent special coverage panelists — award-winning blogger and columnist HEATHER DIGBY PARTON<\/b> of Salon<\/a> and Hullabaloo<\/a>, and “DRIFTGLASS”<\/b> of the Professional Left Podcast<\/i><\/a> from “Flyover Country, Illinois” — are what make it fun.<\/p>\n

Hear Digby discuss the GOP’s “Bizarro World alternet universe” and the “big orange elephant in the room”! Hear Driftglass explain the “Doomsday machine with no off switch” and “the smelly wet sock of the mainstream media”! Also, Doug Burgum!<\/p>\n

To paraphrase Haley last night, hearing us today may help you “feel a little bit dumber.” I’d tell you more, but that would ruin all the fun…and most of the dumbness! Enjoy!… <\/p>\n
