No Facts Tries Out An Insanity Defense

Reader cricket alerts us to Bob No Facts' claim that the Democrats plan to steal the presidential election:

NOVAK: I think there are plans under way by the Democrats to try to steal this election...

(LAUGHTER)

NOVAK: ... in Florida. No, I think they are, and I have some -- some factual material which will come out in...

CARLSON: Oh, sure.

NOVAK: ... in due -- in due course because the plans are being laid, have been laid for four years. But I do believe this, that the -- Kate said it, that there is a -- there is a tremendous amount of spending that's being laid out in this program, and no way to spend it. You can -- you can tax Al Hunt and the rich people all you want, there's not enough blood in that turnip to finance it.
Psst... Bob. That plan is called the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

And here's Novakula engaging in some class warfare:

NOVAK (voice-over): The delegates that nominated John F. Kennedy in 1960 sure look different, older, more men, more coats and ties. That doesn't mean the Democrats have gone down scale.

Now they come out of the brie and Chablis set. One poll shows 42 percent of this year's delegates earn more than $100,000 a year and 14 percent are millionaires. They are not your old familiar politicians.

Sounds like millionaire pundit envy. No doubt No Facts won't shut up about Republican delegate net worth at the end of August.
