Politico may have set the record for “most inane political headline of the year” with this entry: “A Nice-Guy Conservative Emerges From Political Self-Exile”, which might be better titled “Eighty-year-old fat-assed conservative continues to hide his fat ass under the bed”, because that’s precisely what fat-assed former Indiana governor Mitch Daniels is doing.
This sublimely insipid and useless interview of Daniels, conducted by Adam Wren, which strongly suggests that ole’ Mitch has been self-mediating with a bottle of Nyquil before, and after, each meal for the past seven years, reveals, among other things, that Daniels has not said the words “Donald Trump” in more than a decade, and that he graciously blames Trump’s election on snooty Democrats. That’s class!
Eugene McCarthy used to say that if you were drowning 20 feet from shore, a Republican moderate would throw you a 15-foot rope. In Mitch’s case, I think 3 inches would be generous.
