Famed NYT hitchick Maureen Dowd ever so accurately pegs Bill and Hillary Clinton as America’s modern-day Tom and Daisy Buchanan (read the whole hit here), but then piles on FBI Director James Comey’s pile-on, to wit: “Instead of Clinton’s assurances that the server in the basement in Chappaqua had never been breached, Comey said it…

Yay, Hillary! (I’ll explain)
Yay, Hillary! Okay, that is not something I say easily or often, but our gal’s five to zero sweep of the March 15 primaries over not so smokin’ Bernie Sanders, including a 2 to 1 beatdown in Florida, was welcome news indeed. Bernie’s big mouth had infused enough new blood in the beast known as…
Hillary’s helicopters, and the world-historical moment that wasn’t
It’s been a while now since Hillary Clinton left Wesleyan in search of ecstasy, but she’s still at it, currently auditioning for the title of Joan of Arc for the Middle East, a position eminently available ever since George Bush fell on his Andover-educated ass in its pursuit. Just a couple of days ago she…
Leave the window open, Hillary. Forever
“The window of opportunity will not be open forever,” Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently warned Iran and the world, demanding that Iran get serious about “negotiating” an agreement that will satisfy the U.S. and Israel that Iran isn’t trying to develop nuclear weapons. Clinton also said she doesn’t think that Iran is serious about…
Cry sorrow, sorrow, but let the truth prevail
On November 8, 2016, in the wake of Donald Trump’s first triumph, I wrote “It is, appropriately enough, gray and wet in Washington, DC this morning. Brilliant sunshine would be almost more irony than one could bear.” Today, we are not so lucky. What I had to say in my earlier post, which bore the…
Why Harris is struggling: Joe Biden’s record
Kamala Harris came out of the gate like gangbusters, but now she’s slowed to an indifferent cantor. What’s the deal? The deal is, largely, the same as Hubert Humphrey’s, Al Gore’s, and Hillary Clinton’s: they can’t run away from their president’s record. Now, it’s easy to say that Joe was the victim of circumstance, though…
Socio-political-cultural notes from all over: Jack Goldsmith is a gosh-darn liar, Joe and Bibi may be pulling a fast one, and Oliver Anthony is a jive turkey
O mores O tempores, eh, motherfucker? What a list, what a list, what a list. Oy vey, oy vey, oy vey. First and worst is elegantly bearded Harvard prick in chief Jack Goldsmith, whose motto is “not as bad as John Yoo”, which may or not be true, because John stabs you in the chest…
Shorter National Review: Yo, Trump people! WE ARE ON YOUR SIDE!
OK, this is goldarn hilarious—to me, at least. The National Review is throwing itself into a goldarn—or perhaps goldurn—full-court press over the utterly laughable, load o’ shit “Durham Report”, cranking out such utterly laughable, bullshit pieces as The FBI Didn’t Ignore Russian Intel on Hillary’s Plan to Smear Trump — It Abetted the Plan, and…
Hypocrisy is the homage that Ross Douthat pays to virtue
If, as increasingly appears to be the case, Donald Trump’s wild career will end, not with a bang but a whimper, then, sighs NYT opinionist Ross Douthat, more in sorrow than in anger, there will not be any accountability for Trump’s soft enablers within the Republican Party. There was a certain political accountability when the…
George Packer, Packin’ the Con in “Neocon”!
I’ve never actually met George Packer, but I have read him, in the current issue of the Atlantic, so I’ll go out on a limb and say I can probably throw him farther than I can trust him. Yes, I am hip to old Georgie’s jive, right from the get-go—right from his “head”, as a…
