His mouth, I mean. I've been fuming over Republicans trying to block a January 6 commission because they're scared shitless of exposing their role as insurrection mentors and enablers. But the other nasty story that keeps pinging my radar is Harry and his terrible, horrible, beastly, nightmarish, very bad childhood.

The bulk of this tale has come out since Harry went to his grandfather Prince Philip's funeral. There, he had to face William and Charles after letting his wife Meghan call the Royal Family a pack of racists, to Oprah's everlasting faux-shock, on national TV.

Harry's lucky Aunt Princess Anne and Uncle Prince Edward just cut him dead, when they probably would have liked to drag him out behind the castle and beat the snot out of him.

On a side note, Harry just showed an equal lack of respect for his adopted country during his Armchair Expert podcast when he called our First Amendment "bonkers" (44:54). Now Fox and Trump's cult are pissed at him, too.

He followed that up by taking more whacks at the Windsors on an Apple TV+ series he's producing with Oprah called The Me You Can't See. As her subject for one episode, he nailed Charles as a terrible father who believed his sons should grow up as miserable as he'd been as a child.

By the way, the Queen is Charles' mother. She's still alive, 95, and freshly widowed. But Harry didn't think twice about outing her by inference as a negligent parent.

But I'm most intrigued by what he unwittingly reveals about Meghan. He compares Meghan to Diana's Egyptian boyfriend, Dodi Fayed, taking it no deeper than race. I suspect their motivations in hooking up with a royal is the more apt parallel to draw.

For example, after less than a year in the "Firm," pregnant (manipulative value), Meghan chose right before she and Harry had to appear in public at a glittery concert to tell him she was considering suicide and how she'd do it. Then she apparently cried quietly during the concert, lest his memory fade.

The upshot was that Harry gave up his life and bought Meghan a mansion among the rich and famous in Montecito, where she'd be comfortable.

Then he described being awakened one night by Meghan right before the big Oprah CBS interview. He thought she was crying softly into her pillow so as not to wake him. This time, although separated by a continent and an ocean, Meghan was distraught over the royals' and media's "smear campaign" against her.

I wouldn't put it past Meghan to have waited until Harry fell asleep to play this scene for maximum impact. She was bent on using Oprah to exact revenge on her in-laws and had to ensure that Harry wouldn't back out because his grandfather happened to be lying on his deathbed.

Now Harry says he's going around "telling his story" to help others. Our hearts all go out to 12-year-old Harry over the tragic, senseless loss of his mother. But no matter how Harry spins it, we saw him grow up with palaces, privilege and a devoted older brother, and party his way through life until he joined the army. Now he's revealing that he has no sense of history, and no respect for his grandmother, who has dutifully lived the role history thrust upon her.

Harry wants the wealth without the responsibilities. The fame without the exposure. Total privacy while baring all in every media outlet that will have him.

Harry keeps lobbing these "truth" grenades at his family like a passive-aggressive chickenshit, knowing they can't wallow in the muck trying to defend themselves.

I hope Harry and Oprah are over-milking this mental health cow and soon have people saying, "Enough already. We get it. You had horrible childhoods. But you're rich and famous now. Stop acting like a pair of greedy ingrates and go away."
