Here’s a facepalm-worthy moment, if ever there were one:
CSPAN screen encouraging Democrats to call one phone number and Republicans to call another to react to this hearing is….telling

Seriously.
@mikiebarb No. That's how they handle every call-in.

@PollsterPatrick even so!
— Michael Barbaro (@mikiebarb) October 22, 2015
Even so, what? Barbaro is a New York Times political reporter.
The Times must have a really rigorous screening process.
@mikiebarb have you never watched CSPAN?

Oh well. At least there’s a silver lining for him:

And for the rest of us:
That this person has a job of any sort is a testament to the fact that anyone can make it in America. https://t.co/rCRbNP6Cz2
