Whistling past the graveyard

As Breitbart reported, radio host Charlamagne Tha God donned rose-colored lenses during a Sunday interview on ABC's This Week.

"It's definitely a lot of main character-energy on the Democratic ticket. We know who Kamala Harris is. She has super main character energy."

He later added: "People keep calling this the 'honeymoon phase.' I don't think it's a honeymoon phase."

That bubbly appraisal reminded strongly of a similarly cartoonish notion offered on MSNBC not long ago.

In the March 6th broadcast of Morning Joe, host Joe Scarborough glared into the camera.

"Start your tape now, because I'm about to tell you the truth. And f you if you can't handle the truth. This version of Biden intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever...If it weren't the truth, I wouldn't say it."

Of course, the millions who subsequently cringed at Biden's shambolic debate spectacle realized the actual truth. 

Scarorough may have regretted his stilted positivity. There's a lesson in this for Charlamagne.
