They are VEXED! VEXED to the right, VEXED to the left! 'it's just chaos all the time...' LOL

"When you look at the congress though, it's like 24 hours since John McCain was put to death and there's this circus of a hearing going on..."

John Kasich is a crappy actor btw, this segment sounds like it's meant for people slow to learn and hard of hearing. It's for VEXED people!

I almost missed this, rewind:

"...it's like 24 hours since John McCain was put to death..."

Do I have this right? The video is from today? If so then according to Kasich, McCain was put to death yesterday? And Chris Cuomo doesn't comment on it.

A buffoon's error? A clarion call? Or woodpecker signaling an alarm? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6X_ko0Ma45M

Agreed. That sounded like a slip to me. Kasich is full of shit here. Could he be “ playing the game?” - he acted like a douche during the elections, so - not a very high opinion. Will be watching him closely.

The only thing I can think of to make sense of what Kasich could of meant was if he intended to say, '24 hours since McCain was put to rest'. Even that sounds weird however, as the expression is 'laid to rest' not 'put to rest'. The difference in connotation of saying 'put to rest' instead of 'laid to rest' is subtle, in that context it sounds more like 'buried that fker', like some contentious subject that is finally off the table.

I'm assuming the show was live TV.

But the entire performance is scripted, so whatever Kasich was supposed to say (at least in reference to the McCain statement) was probably written the day before (as evidenced by referring to '24 hours'). The 'tell' of the entire thing is that Cuomo doesn't say a word after Kasich says 'put to death'.

Kasich himself is either a clueless buffoon that doesn't know what words come out of him mouth, or he screwed up the script, or he said it on purpose. I tend to believe the first two (he was too busy reading a script to notice he screwed up, or if he did notice, he wasn't going to correct it and lose his place reading it).
