If you're a political observer, you know that one of the great post-election joys has been watching the left-wing press. Normally, outlets like the LA Times, broadcast nets, MSNBC, and CNN remain in deep denial. Evil, bad, racist, misogynist America defied them, and they've decided you must be punished via whatever means available. So, they've doubled-down on their hysteria as they fire up a newly expanded outrage-machine.
Every now and then, though, the mask slips. Like a dying alcoholic who can't quite hide the fact that he has a problem, the left realizes it has a serious problem, and it acknowledges that fact in brief moments of clarity.
