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…

Yo, Jennifer Rubin! Who’s changed, Benjamin Netanyahu or you?
Meet the new Netanyahu. Not the same as the old Netanyahu, says WashPost rightie turned leftie gal Jennifer Rubin, more in sorrow than in anger. In case you haven’t been paying attention, frequent Israeli prime minister (and frequent AV non-fave rave) Benjamin Netanyahu has sunk from, well, atrocious to abysmal. Simply put, the man hath…
Chick fight! Chick fight! Bill Barr does The Donald, and vice versa.
“I would imagine that if the book is anything like him, it will be long, slow, and very boring.” Okay, that is probably not Donald Trump’s description of former attorney general William Barr’s sexual technique, but, well, you never know. This lover’s spat was set off by Bill’s attempt to hype his new book, which…
The Afghan War Was So Bad, It’s Giving Mindless Interventionism A Bad Name! Go Figure!
Is Satan breaking out his ice skates? He damn well ought to be, because David “Never Met a War I Didn’t Want Someone Else to Fight” Ignatius is—wait for it—admitting that he was—wait for it, goddamn it, wait for it!—wrong about U.S. intervention in Afghanistan! The structure of the Kabul government has been rotting from…
Spin, Span, & Spun, political notes from all over: Glenn & Jen do Liz, and NR does Elise, the Whore who went to Harvard
Glenn smears Liz for smearing Russia Glenn Greenwald, amoozin’ yet confoosin’ as ever, launches a furious attack on the recently defenestrated Liz Cheney, claiming that Cheney lied about her perpetration of the “Russians paid for dead Americans in Afghanistan” hustle cooked up by the CIA and used by Cheney and other various assorted warmongers to…
When Jennifer Rubin Does the Cuban
Okay, unless you’re familiar with the swing-band classic “When Reuban Swings the Cuban”—and you probably aren’t—you’re probably guessing that I’m accusing Jennifer Reuban of going communist, and I’m not. There was a time when I spent so much time making fun of Jennie for her passionately Likudist psyche—she once denounced Sen. Rand Paul for not…
The Silence of the “Right” is Deafening. And Contemptible.
Recently, President Donald Trump was asked to comment on the arrest of Ghislaine Maxwell for charges of procuring underage women for notorious sexual abuser Jeffrey Epstein back in the 1990s and, more recently, in 2017, for perjuring herself when testifying about the matter. Quoth1 the Donald I just wish her well, frankly. I’ve met her…
How to lie with statistics, Jennifer Rubin edition
Anyone who has read all my posts on Washpost opinion gal Jennifer Rubin would probably tell me to shut the fuck up. But this one’s different, because I agree with Jennie yet dispute her tactics. Jennie’s post of contention, “Graham sums up how stupid the GOP has become”, is an extended poke at South Carolina…
Israel? Is that a country?
I guess I could also call this “The Saga of Jennie” because it’s genesis, so to speak, and center is WashPost pseudo-“Right Turn” gal Jennifer Rubin, about whom I recently wrote in the post “Jennie made her mind up”, noting, with pleasure, that Jennie’s political outlook had made not a right turn but a 180,…
Jennie Made Her Mind Up
There’s an amusing though frequently verging on depressing kerflusterfuck waxing and waning on the right, triggered by a column in the National Review by Charles C. W. Cooke, who, in addition to being to being the only person I know to use two middle initials—in homage, one can only assume, to legendary Bonnie & Clyde…
