      Jeet Heer Retweeted Brit Hume

      People have made this point before but it can't be underscored enough that this is in fact the argument Sideshow Bob made in The Simpsons: "Attempted murder. Now honestly what is that? Can you win a Nobel Prize for attempted chemistry?"https://twitter.com/brithume/status/1190280996240928769 …

      Jeet Heer added,

      From WSJ: “De­moc­rats want to im­peach Mr. Trump for ask­ing a for­eign gov­ernment to in­ves­ti­gate his po­lit­i­cal ri­val for cor­ruption, though the probe never hap­pened, and for with­hold­ing aid to Ukraine that in the end wasn’t with­held.” https://www.wsj.com/articles/defining-impeachment-down-11572563952 …

      I just to think it was a cheap shot that Sideshow Bob was a Republican (friend of Rush Limbaugh in fact). But now it seems just. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQQPNQ0PFSc …

          Or the writers making fun of Kelsey Grammer, actually. Typecasting is a thing.

          Looking over the last three decades, it's like republicans took the Stonecutters as aspirational, rather than hyperbolic mockery.

          No lie, my entire view of American politics was formed by Sideshow Bob Roberts and has never been meaningfully challenged. "No children have ever messed with the Republican Party and lived to tell about it!"

          Also irony: Sideshow Bobs voice is done by Kelsey Grammer, real life Republican. :P

          “Die Bart, Die” seems relevant to a lot of the quid pro quo arguments they are making also.

          It's also the ol' "But her mother was cool with it" or "Roy Moore" defense.
