โ โฆ thatโs all he is and all he canย be.โ
The amazing thing about Esquireโs brilliantly written new profile on Marc Morano is that Morano himself probably lovesย it.
Per the quote above, Esquire writer John Richardson calls Morano a โturd in the punch bowl.โ He calls him a liar, referring to โthe method Morano loves best, using the laugh value of satire to displace the truth requirements ofย journalism.โ
Yet Esquire still gives Morano 6,500 words of love and attention (the two are one and the same in Moranoโs denier circles). The magazine even introduces him in the subhed as the guy who โbroke the Swift Boat story and effectively stalled John Kerryโs presidential run.โ (Cโmon, you guys. He didnโt โbreakโ it. He made it up.)
And that lifts Morano one notch further up the notoriety index. It throws another hundred thousand watts into the megaphone that Morano uses to overwhelm truth with โsatireโ – to spread fecal coliforms through all of Americaโsย punch.
Ah well. We can only hope itโs a swan song – that the last six months will one day prove to have been the deniersphereโs best, and last success. But while we hope – and wait – I have to recommend the article. Itโs very goodย reading.
