Carl Forti, I’m so sorry for ever doubting your prowess, your skill, your utterly amazing intestinal fortitude at being able to convince yourself that what you utter is The Truth™. Ironic, since I just watched “Thank You for Smoking” this weekend — throw it in the queue, it’s worth it.
And onward to a display of balls so awesome that I think Stephen Colbert would choke had he been watching. Here’s Forti on the 10/8 edition of C-SPAN’s Washington Journal (go to 33:40):
Steve Scully: Carl Forti of the National Republican Congressional Committee. Is the Foley situation managable? Carl Forti: I think definitely. I think if you look at newspapers around the country and look at individual districts, it’s really not having that much of an effect.
Bam! Shake it Up! Shake it Up! and on to the next mothaf*&#! question. He didn’t say, “Well Steve, I think it’s really not having an effect” — he informs the viewer that they must read regional papers and look at individual districts before they can come to the conclusion that “it’s not having much of an effect.” A display of omniscience any mouthpiece would be proud of.
So awesome.
