This guy still gets on TV. If anything would end a person's career as TV conservative pundit, you'd think that hitting an unsuspecting person from behind with a chair on camera, and then running for the door like a coward would certainly do the trick.
I was thinking the same thing: Yes, the elf got Frodo on his horse... and....? Was she about to draw some kind of parallel to gay people, or Iran, or what? It's going to rack my mind.
