The New Mouthpiece Theatre is out! And guess what? It’s even better than usual. Here’s CJR:

“Ménage à Stella Artois” manages to be both glibly insulting and extraordinarily un-funny. Which is, in itself, fairly insulting. Milbank and Cillizza, through a series of (bad) puns that use the colorful names of microbrewed beers to poke fun at people in the news (swine flu victims should drink…Isolation Ale! Ha!), suggest, among many other things, that “the entire Republican Congressional leadership team” should drink Satan Red/Devil’s Brew/Fallen Angel/Evil Eye/Hell Bier (get it? because they’re demonic, I guess?). Oh, and that the Secretary of State should drink … Mad Bitch.

I’ll bet Jon Stewart is kicking himself for letting The Washington Post get that one before he got the chance.
