Yeah, Blobists! Or Establishmentarians, or whatever you like to call yourselves these days! What is the deal with this hardnosiosity, or perhaps rhinosaurusism, that is coming to the fore with regard to Saudi Arabia? I first noticed, and bewailed, this unfortunate “trend” last March, when I faulted Atlantic editor Jeff Goldberg for pushing the line…

Shorter Nancy Pelosi: I cans so be dumber than Joe Biden!
What is the deal with Nancy Pelosi? Is she thinking “Well, I’ve fucked up domestic policy, now I got foreign policy to deal with”? She’s already visited Ukraine (“They gave me a medal! That’s how important I am!”) and I guess maybe she’s expecting to get one from Taiwan, though, really, no one seems to…
Nancy Pelosi, not afraid to look stupid
Well, she isn’t. Back in the Obama administration, in an incident that few but I remember, Nancy insisted that the federal budget was a lean, mean spendin’ machine with literally no fat at all: “The cupboard is bare,” quoth Nancy, back in 2013. “There’s no more cuts to make.” You have to give credit to…
The ruin that is Trump: When F*ck You isn’t enough
Well, it isn’t. “F*ck You” hasn’t made the North Koreans play ball. Or the Iranians. Or the Chinese. Or even the Venezuelans. Telling the world what to do has proved a lot harder than Donald Trump imagined, and, frankly, the big guy is getting both frustrated and bored, and even a little worried. It’s “interesting”…
Takes, short and not so short
Nancy Pelosi is invisible, says George F. Will In a not bad considering column, George F. Will urges congressional Democrats to “temper their enthusiasm for impeachment with lucidity”, listening to words of wisdom from others, including Greg Weiner, “Madison scholar par excellence” and author of a new book that Mr. Will has either read or…
How can Nancy Pelosi lose the Speakership, now that she’s made fun of Donald Trump’s d*ck?
A week or so ago, in a piece breezily titled, for the sake of the faint-hearted (and Mark Zuckerberg), “O my Democratic Party, Where the F*ck Art Thou?”, I argued that the much maligned Nancy Pelosi was still pretty much a shoo-in for re-election as House Speaker: “luckily for Pelosi if no one else, she…
Old Mother Pelosi, livin’ the cliché
“The cupboard is bare!” announces the distinguished minority leader, embarrassing all of us who at some time or other used to call ourselves “Democrats.” This whole sequestration thing is bad, says Rep. Nancy Pelosi, because there is, you know, in the whole federal budget nothing left to cut! Nothing! No more fat! It’s all muscle…
An ignominy of Democrats
Nancy Pelosi’s notorious “I never said I didn’t know the CIA was waterboarding I only said I didn’t know about it when they said I knew about it” press conference wasn’t quite as bad as lot of people are saying. (You can view it here.) Unfortunately, Nancy’s been lapped by Harry “Yes, I am a…
