A mix of hatred and despair on display Friday night from a member of Barack Obama’s core constituency: the Hollywood Left. On something called John Fugelsang: So That Happened, which runs weekly on Current, actor/radio host Jay Thomas combined fret and an insult in decrying the Republican ticket of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan: “I can’t believe we’re talking the 21st century and these two white idiots are running for something.”
Saying “these are the most un-modern people I’ve ever seen. They’re medieval, almost” because “they don’t believe in abortion,” Thomas despaired: “I’m really worried, and I feel right now that Mitt Romney has a really good chance of winning the election.”
Thomas, who now hosts from Los Angeles a national radio show for Sirius/XM and won two Emmys for his role on Murphy Brown, declared “I just believe that Barack Obama looks like the future of the United States” but, he feared, “I just don’t know that the people that he really can help are going to get out in the number to vote.”
