Indicted Congr. Michael Grimm subject of Showtime episode

Showtime's new series, The Years of Living Dangerously, has so far been an excellent series, taking on many facets of climate change. Tonight's new episode is about Sandy and Staten Island, Grimm's district.

Michael Grimm (R) is a climate change denier. Surprisingly, this episode is very sympathetic towards Grimm, one of the most corrupt members of Congress and facing imminent indictment if not already indicted. The show is painting him as a bipartisan do-gooder just trying to help -- yet he doesn't think we can say man has anything to do with changes to the climate.

It's a fascinating program, but every time Grimm is featured I throw up in my mouth a little.

Chris Hayes is hosting the segment. It's just shifted to the Tea Party politics of denial, and Republicans whoring themselves out for votes over reality. Very interesting.
