I think I’ve gotten into the habit of saying nice things about Charles Krauthammer. In my most recent post relating to Charlie, I went so far as to exclaim “Thank God for Charles Krauthammer! Pretty much.”. Well, that was then. Time to get nasty. In his post that prompted my exclamation of “Thank God for…

Donald Trump, a shande far the Jews
Jennifer Rubin gives us goys a break, and a laugh, by explaining just how many Jewish toes got stepped on by Donald “Big Belly” Trump when the Donald decided he wouldn’t be moving the American embassy to Israel to Jerusalem, as he had promised that he really, really would. As Rubin notes, it’s pretty much…
Of course, when that happened during the Obama Administration, he threw them in jail
“Some brave patriots in intelligence and law enforcement and elsewhere in the federal government have taken risks to get the facts out.” Thus quoth WashPost columnist Dana Milbank, celebrating the appointment of Robert Mueller as special prosecutor for l’affaire Russe. As Dana sums things up, a little too generously, “With the stroke of a pen,…
Thank God for Charles Krauthammer! Pretty much.
Yes, Charles Krauthammer, whom I’ve often harangued and harassed, “sometimes … displays a sense of honor” (to quote myself), and one of those times is right now, as he weighs on Trump v. Comey with a well-titled commentary, “A political ax murder”. True, Charlie clings to the now-standard right-wing meme that FBI Director James Comer…
Yo, Paleoliberals! You can’t go home again! (not really)
David Ignatius reports that Charles Peters, long-time editor of the Washington Monthly and, not incidentally, one-time mentor/editor to David, has the solution to the Democrats’ electoral woes, presented in his new book We Do Our Part. In writing the book, Charlie gets in line behind paleolibs Thomas “What’s the Matter with Kansas?” Frank and Michael…
The New York Times, furiously beating the drums of war
Did you see video of that big military parade in North Korea last week? Those huge missile carriers, designed to hold an ICBM capable of reaching the U.S.? Did it ever occur to you that those carriers might be empty, that the parade was a huge bluff, that the North Koreans have never tested an…
Shorter Dan Drezner: Fareed Zakaria is a horse’s ass!
Okay, there’s a fair amount of extrapolation and interpolation required to produce that pungent condensation of WashPost dude Dan Drezner’s last several columns, including the fact that the words “Fareed Zakaria” and “horse’s ass” never appear in any of them. Nonetheless, I feel safe in pronouncing that that is Dan’s bottom line. Fareed Zakaria is…
Yo, Dan Drezner! You don’t have to apologize to Jeff Sessions! He IS a sh*t!
A couple of days ago, WashPost columnist Dan Drezner tweeted the following regarding a speech on illegal immigration by Attorney General Jeff Sessions: “Filth. He described illegal immigrants as “filth.” Whatever your views on immigration that’s f**king embarrassing for a US official to say.” As Dan explained in this column, he was reacting to a…
2017 – 2011 = 6
Back in January 2011, I unleashed a rude outburst directed at then SecDef Robert Gates, “Robert M. Gates, totally full of it. Totally”, prompted by Bob’s statement that, in five years’ time, North Korea would be able to “target” the U.S. with a nuclear-tipped ICBM. Well, it’s six years and counting, so how’s that “direct…
Trumplosion or Trompe-l’œil?
The past several months have been a Trump-loather’s1 dream. Watching the big guy’s world go sideways in so many ways—well, it’s so satisfying that one can’t help but wonder, “When did I ever get everything I wanted all the time?” It’s as though “science” had perfected a peppermint ice cream that causes you to lose…
