EXCEPT on this one occasion!

Lou: you really need to do something about that brown hair dye job on you. It doesn't...well...look natural on someone like you.

Lindsay Graham can't do anything about "Obamagate" because Obamagate isn't a real thing.

Dobbs is an idiot. He knows a couple of things, but any real intellect is completely clouded by his blind devotion to conservatism. The outcome is already decided by Dobbs and conservatives and they are backtracking from that conclusion to the "evidence" or arguments. That is not the way that intellectual pursuits or good public policy work. You have a goal, and a vision of what you want, but you make observations and test hypotheses and you go where they take you tweaking your hypotheses along the way.

Dobbs is convinced that Facebook and Twitter are anti-conservative when all the data suggest otherwise. Therefore concluding that they aren't guilty, or not looking into the matter, is "evidence" to Dobbs that Graham is in on "the plot". The reality is that Graham won't go after Facebook and Twitter because they serve a conservative purpose (as donors, platforms, and a convenient foil).

Conservatives are not very intelligent. They are cunning and devious, but not really very intellectual.
