The Happy Mother's Day edition of " Meet the Press" served up a big bowl of stale Lucky Charms. It was not magically delicious. I wish this was more like "The Gong Show." After you've had your fill of a guest you could just get up and wield the hammer. First on the dance card was Connecticut Democratic Senator Chris Murphy. Known to his colleagues as the man who could put coffee to sleep, he said the only stopping block to a budget agreement was one man. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, when he's not busy being the marionette of Marjorie Traitor Greene, has declared himself the gangster of default. Murphy's view of gun control is you can own guns, but only certain kinds. Kids, you can drink beer, but after 14 you're cut off. Next up was the former Republican Congressman from Texas Will Hurd. He is pondering throwing his hat into the ring for the presidency. He should buy a hat first. He is running on the tried and true platform of "Hey, I'm a good guy." Last on this exercise of tedium was Russell Moore. He is not only the editor of Christianity Today but also the head of the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood. I was not offered either job when they were open. But he had the line of the day when asked by Chuck Todd if he would support Donnie "Love Machine" Trump for president. Quote "Jesus said let your yes be yes, and let your no be no. And let your never be never." Game, set, match. In related Sunday morning media, Fox "News" anchor Shannon Breem has mastered the Stephanie Ruhle smirk. When you ask a slanted question cock your mouth to one side and sing in your head " My dog's better because he eats Ken L Ration."
