=== Donald Trump Jr.'s Potato Head Insult (01:08) ===

[00:00:00]  On Friday, I was about to go get dinner for my kids when Donald Trump Jr.
[00:00:03]  attacked me in his speech at CPAC. Something about me looking like a gender-neutral potato head.
[00:00:08]  If Hasbro really wanted a gender-neutral Mr.
[00:00:11]  potato head so badly they should just slap a picture of CNN's Brian Sletler on
[00:00:15]  the cover of their next potato.
[00:00:19]  What? They don't call him Mr. Potato Head.
[00:00:27]  Potato Head for nothing. And then the tweets started rolling in on my computer, people telling me about Donnie Jr.
[00:00:33]  insulting me, and I thought of some really cutting responses, some really clever ways to reply, some way to go viral, but then I stopped.
[00:00:42]  I didn't post anything.
[00:00:44]  It was just another distraction.
[00:00:47]  He wanted me to respond.
[00:00:49]  This was just more BS fuel for the culture war, and it does not matter.
[00:00:56]  The best thing we can do for each other in this world of tweet storms is to refuse to be confused by that noise, is to refuse to be distracted.
[00:01:06]  There is too much real news going on.
