Why Do People Like Lindsay Clancy Attract Fan Clubs?

Why Do People Like Lindsay Clancy Attract Fan Clubs?

Author: Jim Geraghty & Greg Corombos – Political Humor Commentary September 4, 2026 Duration: 29:44
Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into much better than expected job numbers in August, the many bizarre facts and twists in the Lindsay Clancy case, Fox News dismissing Maria Bartiromo, and what they'll be doing for their Labor Day special.

First, they eagerly welcome much better than expected jobs numbers from August - more than three times what the experts expected. But they also note record high diesel prices and what that could mean for the prices we pay.

Next, they wade through the facts, the hysteria, and bizarre laws in the Lindsay Clancy trial in Massachusetts. Jim and Greg also comment on Clancy being the latest to develop an intensely devoted fan club. What is wrong with these people?

Then, they react to Fox News abruptly firing Maria Bartiromo. Additional reporting suggests Bartiromo wanted to do reports on China and the 2020 elections and persisted after executives rejected her request. Jim states Fox News paid a steep price already for 2020 election reporting. They also note speculation that Bartiromo might be President Trump's next press secretary.

Finally, Jim and Greg offer a quick preview of their Labor Day special on Monday.

Each day can feel like a barrage of headlines, a chaotic mix of the serious and the absurd. That’s where 3 Martini Lunch-Political Humor & Commentary comes in. Hosts Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos have built a following by sorting through the noise with a specific, effective ritual. They serve up the day’s events in three distinct parts they call "martinis": one for the genuinely good news, another for the frustratingly bad, and a final one reserved for the utterly crazy stories that defy belief. What you’ll hear in this podcast is a conversation that feels like sitting with two well-informed friends who aren’t afraid to be sharp, witty, or blunt. They analyze politics and culture with a perspective that cuts through partisan talking points, aiming for clarity and, often, a much-needed laugh. The pace is brisk and designed for a commute or a lunch break, but the commentary is substantial. Tuning into this podcast means getting a digest of what matters, framed with humor and insight that makes the whirlwind of news actually digestible. It’s a daily check-in that manages to be both smart and consistently entertaining, providing a structured way to understand the world without losing your sanity in the process.
