Bercovici obviously doesn't understand that McNothing and his pit bull rhymes-with-witch needs to be discussed in no terms that are not dripping with the most scathing contempt. He also says, with utter stupidity, "Oh, yeah, and he also compares Republicans to Nazis (It was like watching Gidget address the Reichstag)," as though he had never heard that Hitler and all the Nazis hated the Reichstag, burned it down as soon as they took power, and never rebuilt it.
