The best debate analysis I've seen so far

Josh Marshall tweeted a recommendation for Johnson's monologue about the debate and it does justify the build-up. Pound for pound, though, I might be more impressed with the one he did for This American Life about a would-be right wing media racist troll who failed for the most unexpected of reasons.

I find Johnson more thoughtful-funny than laugh out loud, but he's very good. He has that knack of either pointing out something you hadn't thought of that immediately strikes you as true, or taking something you had thought of and framing it in an unexpected but perfect way. Plus his political takes are really sharp.

Definitely a talent to keep an eye on.
