They didn't listen to me over at CBS, not that I'm surprised.
The fact is, though, "60 Minutes" producers and correspondent Lesley Stahl probably were already at work on Sunday's prime-time 14-minute tribute to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene when I wrote here a month ago that we Americans should ignore the extremist Republican congresswoman as much as possible. That we should adapt her bonkers idea of "a national divorce" — a severing of red states from blue — to instead quit her.
The inordinate attention Greene gets is her oxygen, allowing her to spread the outrageous, divisive messages and far-right conspiracy theories that endear her to white nationalist audiences, and make her a fundraising juggernaut.
