Cenk Uygur, the professional progressive who once made a career out of screaming that any focus on someone’s private life is a right-wing smear, is suddenly very excited to tell you about the documentary his team is dropping tomorrow on a gay, closeted U.S. senator.

Cenk is careful to insist the problem isn’t the sexuality—no, no, it’s the “serious national security issue” and the “highly illegal” incident that’s supposedly on tape — but the timing and the branding (“The Closetocracy”) make it clear he’s counting on the audience to fill in the blanks the old-fashioned way.

Of course, the bombshell wasn't much of a bombshell at all.

So they went after a dead man for a bombshell ... a bombshell most people already knew about or suspected. 

Stop the presses.

Heh.

RIGHT? WE'RE SHOCKED! NATIONAL SECURITY! REEEEEE!

What a joke.
