Summary
They start with the biggest lies of the year. Jim kicks things off my questioning the conventional wisdom that seems to be building from recent polls, while Greg takes aim at a lie that the right has been fighting for decades.
Then it's time for the best political theater of 2023, with Jim choosing some important events connected to American politics and Greg finding his winner far south of the border.
Finally, they cringe remembering the worst political theater of 2023. Jim chooses a very troubling fact we see playing out almost every day in our national politics and Greg looks back at an ugly moment in state politics that gripped the nation.
Please join us on Wednesday as Jim and Greg hand out their awards for Best Political Idea, Worst Political Idea, and Boldest Tactic for 2023.
Thanks for listening to the 3 Martini Lunch!
