Okay, I did not see this coming. The Wash Post’s David Ignatius, often regarded as the CIA’s press agent, has apparently decided that he needs a new job, perhaps because, these days, the CIA ain’t shit. So Dave is going with the flow, which, judging from his latest column, means sucking up to presidential son…

Oh, and there was also the whole Jew Joke thing
Okay, this one is a bit stale, but I guess I like putting “Jew Joke” in a headline. I was reading Dan Drezner’s 97% merciless takedown of Secretary of State Rex “Wife made me take the job” Tillerson,1 which included a sneer directed at major foreign policy advisors who, like Tillerson, had never met the…
Richard Cohen, correctly raining on Stephen Bannon’s parade
Richard Cohen, who very often gives a very convincing impression of a 2,000 year old man—and not a very nice one, either—nonetheless still has a trick or two up his sleeve and delivers a nice one here, taking down White House evil genius in chief and all-around prick Stephen Bannon’s account of his spiritual awakening…
Maybe it’s because they’re REPUBLICANS, Avik?
Avik Roy, a conservative health care expert who’s finding it harder and harder to be “conservative”, struggles with Lyin’ Paulie Ryan’s latest wrinkle to the Health Care bill that he and Donald Trump are trying to “ram” through the House of Representatives. The original bill had sort of a problem, noted by ethical gal around…
Right Turn? No, Correct Turn!
There was a time when I wrote so many columns making fun of WashPost Likudist from Hell Jennie Rubin that I stopped. Jennie was so over the top1 that it didn’t seem fair, or relevant, to make fun of her. Well, that was then. The non “I want to die for Israel and I’m going…
David Ignatius, last seen stroking a source
Remember Michael T. Flynn, the less than model lieutenant general who chanted “Lock her up!” while denouncing Hillary Clinton at the Republican convention, who wrote a crack-brained book with crack-brained author Michael Leeden1 in which he declared that “I’m totally convinced that, without a proper sense of urgency, we will be eventually defeated, dominated, and…
George Will would rather write about the Black Death than Donald Trump
Well, you can hardly blame the man, can you? The Donald’s current reign of t/error is a lot less palatable than the centuries-old horror that reduced Europe’s population by a solid 25% back in the fourteenth century. But after you get past Georgie’s first paragraph, his current think piece becomes less a history lesson than…
Nazi Holocaust did not target Jews, Trump explains
Okay, two weeks of Trump and I’m a week behind on the outrages. Well, get used to it, because it won’t get any better. Last week, when Donald Trump was proving to the world that he hates foreigners, he was also proving to the world that he thinks Jews talk too much. It’s always about…
I predicted this!
Well, I did. A couple of weeks back, I wrote a post, “Why Donald Trump will be our very worst president, by a very wide margin”, and, one week in, it’s already true. For the past seven days, Donald Trump has been running around like a chicken with its head cut off, except, you know,…
Russia hacks U.S. elections! Does this mean that Putin is as bad as Netanyahu?
Well, it’s a question to be asked, isn’t it? I mean, Netanyahu (and Israel) is always interfering with our elections! And now, so is Putin! I mean, who do they think they are, us? Afterwords The fact that Russia hacked the DNC computer network and deliberately released the information to weaken Hillary Clinton’s chances is,…
