Blogging The Bach: The Corinne Show

I have some thoughts about the current state of The Bachelor, AKA The Corinne Show, that I'll share later but first look at these tweets, all of which refer to tonight's announcement of the president's SCOTUS pick. The Bachelor may be silly, vacuous, manipulative and empty-headed (and it is all of those things,) but the producers have been brilliant in the way they've infiltrated pop culture, even among people who have (probably) never actually watched the show.

So, both SCOTUS candidates show up tonight, and Trump will give one of them a rose?  That certainly adds a hint of class to the last 10 days

The feed of the two judges waiting in Blue Room for a rose will be ratings gold. @davidaxelrod https://t.co/KAQeM6voqr
