Update on Mueller Madness Bracketology: And the Russia collusion delusion national championship winner is…MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, the New York Post announced:
“Maddow excelled at connecting nonconnected dots. Night after night for two years, she spun tinfoil-hat theories about how ‘Donald Trump is going to do what Russia wants,’ how ‘the presidency is effectively a Russian op.’ This, even as the Trump administration armed Poland and Ukraine, bombed Russian operatives in Syria and squeezed Moscow’s chief Mideast client, Iran. In a six-week period in the spring of 2017, the MSNBC star devoted more than half of her segments to Russia, according to an estimate by The Intercept…But in the end, the pieces didn’t fall into place. And once special counsel Robert Mueller’s report put the lie to the collusion theory, she suffered an instant and precipitous ratings decline.”
Stephen Colbert was the runner up. “Bravo, Stephen: You almost made it to the top — with your hyperpoliticized, hectoring brand of lefty comedy.”
Obama CIA Director John Brennan won dishonorable mention. “The former CIA director started the championship at a sixth seed, but his treason allegations against the president and bogus claims about imminent indictments received some of the most vehement comments from our readers.”
