at one point, they helpfully explained that what you were seeing at the center of the image was obama encased in what was, in fact, an overcoat--a point about there really was not a whole lot of room for ambiguity---they continued by saying that he wore this overcoat in response to the cold weather, and added that obama was sensitive to the cold, and so wore an overcoat. by all appearances, they were concerned that the sudden appearance on a cold day of an overcoat would derail the viewership, perhaps sending them en masse toward their refrigerators to grab a sandwich or god knows what.

and this was something of an analytic high point.

fucking idiots.
