The Joke's On Who?

New Yorker satirist Andy Borowitz is on a roll with this week's news:

Rex Tillerson: I Hope Trump Finds Out He’s Impeached on Twitter

Vladimir Putin Concedes Defeat in Pennsylvania Special Election

Trump installs former ‘Fox and Friends’ host as under secretary of state

Oh wait.  That last one isn't Borowitz.  It's the real news.

So maybe I shouldn't mention cable econ bullshitter Kudlow's appointment as chief White House economic advisor, who inspired such headlines Wednesday as:

Trump’s New Economic Adviser Lawrence Kudlow Has Been Wrong About Everything for Decades

Larry Kudlow may have been more wrong about the economy than anyone alive

Trump’s new economic adviser is really bad at economics. Here are the receipts.
Larry Kudlow has made some astoundingly bad predictions, even for a CNBC pundit.
