Due to its ample <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2022\/06\/06\/jan-6-committee-adviser-james-goldston\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">media attention<\/a>, caused, in part, by the committee\u2019s hiring of former ABC News president James Goldston to \u201cproduce\u201d the event, the entire investigative charade should be ignored. <\/p>\n<p>But here I am writing about the made-for-TV hearing. Damn the punditry gods!<\/p>\n<p>The Hill <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/blogs\/in-the-know\/3517381-dc-bars-prepare-for-prime-time-jan-6-hearing\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">reports<\/a> that watch parties were scheduled across our fair capital city to take advantage of the maiden primetime broadcast. Were I motivated enough, and were gas not punching in at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/economy\/average-gas-prices-close-in-on-5-a-gallon-in-the-u-s\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">five bucks a pump<\/a>, and were 8PM not my kids\u2019 bedtime, I\u2019d have driven into the District, hand on my horn, shouting \u201cNEEEEEEEEERRRRRRDDDDD\u201d at every passerby, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IRsPheErBj8\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Homer Simpson-style<\/a>. Instead, I read \u201cLittle Blue Truck\u2019s Halloween\u201d on the balmy June night&mdash;which was far more enlightening on my estimated 73rd read of it than force-watching congressional prating and preening.<\/p>\n<p>Lucky me, though, a handful <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MacFarlaneNews\/status\/1535375502013251588?cxt=HHwWiICypcz4384qAAAA\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">more hearings<\/a> are scheduled that I can watch from the comfort of my couch. A cyanide sandwich sounds more tasteful.<\/p>\n<p>So why all the hubbub over the \u201ccornpone intifada,\u201d as Sohrab Ahmari <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/01\/06\/opinion\/jan-6-trump-us.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">rightly puts it<\/a>, two Easters after it occurred? When pitted against other pressing issues like inflation, border security, recession fears, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/magazine\/2022\/03\/21\/have-chinese-spies-infiltrated-american-campuses\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sino-espionage<\/a>, a couple of shattered windows and tumbled bike racks seem trivial. Why steal <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/redsteeze\/status\/1535063372315922432\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">broadcast bandwidth<\/a> from Canuck puck ball playoffs just to show Liz Cheney\u2019s furrowed brow?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the election, stupid. It\u2019s <em>always<\/em> the next election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJan. 6 Hearings Give Democrats a Chance to Recast Midterm Message\u201d was the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/06\/07\/us\/politics\/jan-6-hearings-tv-democrats.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">give-away headline<\/a> in <em>The New York Times<\/em>. A recasting certainly is in order: the Democrats need a more inspiring character than ORANGE MAN BAD! to excite voters. Too bad they\u2019re doubling down on playing off the stale off-Washington, on-Palm Beach troupe from the last election. If weaponizing congressional hearings over a treasonous fracas was supposed to be a secret GOTV play, the cat\u2019s well out of the bag. NYT\u2019s Annie Karni and Luke Broadwater report: <\/p>\n<div class=\"indent\">With their control of Congress hanging in the balance, Democrats plan to use made-for-television moments and a carefully choreographed rollout of revelations over the course of six hearings to remind the public of the magnitude of Mr. Trump\u2019s effort to overturn the election, and to persuade voters that the coming midterm elections are a chance to hold Republicans accountable for it.<\/div>\n<p>The paper of record isn\u2019t the only mainstream organ to see through the ploy. Sarah Ferris of Politico <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2022\/06\/09\/housse-democrats-jan-6-2024-00038305\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">concurs<\/a>: \u201cHouse Democrats know that even the most damning findings from their probe into the Capitol attack may not save their majority in November. They\u2019re still pleading with voters to pay attention.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It says a lot that two of the most Democratic-friendly media pubs <em>are not<\/em> giving commentary cover to the Jan. 6th committee. Instead, the inquisition\u2019s ulterior motivations are said aloud in the most read paper in the country. Hell, even David Brooks&mdash;genial Never Trumper par excellence&mdash;is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/06\/08\/opinion\/the-jan-6-committee-has-already-blown-it.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">calling<\/a> the klieg-lighted soliloquy show \u201cpathetic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If the guy who smeared the GOP as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/nyt-columnist-gop-slid-down-the-toilet-voting-rights\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">commode-float party<\/a> isn\u2019t impressed by your electoral theatrics, you\u2019re probably posterior flotsam too.<\/p>\n<p>Yet the show must go on, and we\u2019ll get plenty of hi-res Getty images of Adam Schiff\u2019s blotchy skin primer. You might have to take out a second mortgage at twice the rate of your first to fill your gas tank, but here are the Muppets <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cpYv5MNpg6o\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">baying for the blood<\/a> of \u201ctraitors\u201d on \u201cThe January 6th Show.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>What, you can\u2019t fill your Impala with cheap laughs? Kermit the Frog rhyming \u201cinjurious\u201d with \u201cNazi-curious\u201d doesn\u2019t fill your 401k\u2019s YOY gap?<\/p>\n<p>Well, I guess you\u2019re just a bad citizen. No, really, you are. I caught NPR\u2019s David Folkenflik\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2022\/06\/11\/1104368967\/major-broadcasters-aired-the-jan-6-committee-hearings-live-fox-news-did-not\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">urging<\/a> his analog audience to watch the proceedings as \u201ccitizens,\u201d the inference being that anyone who tunes out is a bad American.<\/p>\n<p>If having to watch a bunch of rumpled career politicians, who once <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MaxNordau\/status\/1536058387976404993?cxt=HHwWgoC-meW9ltEqAAAA\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">objected to certifying Bush electors<\/a>, cosplay as democracy defenders means being a good American, you can call me King George the Third. There\u2019s a fine line between an informed citizen and a Politico Pro subscriber. Should I ever become the latter, the editor has my express permission to cease my contributorship here.<\/p>\n<p>But if I <em>have<\/em> to keep myself wised up as to the committee\u2019s doings, I\u2019d rather peruse the 12-page <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/trump-statement-12-pages-bashes-jan-6-investigation-2022-6\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">missive<\/a> Donald Trump put out to preempt the show hearing, which reads like one of his patented elongated tweets spliced with stat-rich block quotes compiled by an intern. The entire thing comes off like a disjointed rant, and I can\u2019t make heads or tails of the election malfeasance allegations, but the phrase \u201cWhat a load of bologna!\u201d is used with sterling precision. Lunchmeat exclamations make for far better entertainment than hearing about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/opinions\/2022\/06\/13\/jan-6-hearing-giuliani-drunk-trump\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rudy Giuliani\u2019s taste for tipple<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In the main, that\u2019s all the January 6th hearings amount to: entertainment for the Capitol City class. Sure, Democrats would love if \u201cCSI: Seditious Grandma Edition\u201d nudged poll numbers in their direction before November. Slim chance, there. Americans <a href=\"https:\/\/freethepeople.org\/america-moves-on-from-january-6th-washington-cant-let-it-go\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">lost interest<\/a> in the Jan. 6th dustup months ago&mdash;before war in Europe and towering prices at home.
