A Freak Out at the Washington Post
9th November 2016
Making up for lost time, today I’m enjoying (for the first time in memory) reading liberal columns on the Washington Post’s op-ed page. E.J. Dionne isn’t subtle. The title of his piece is “Where white male voters took America.”
Dionne isn’t original either. After the Dems took a beating in 1994, the late Peter Jennings reported that “America threw a temper tantrum.” Dionne parrots this astonishingly juvenile line: “What the polls suggested was that a large number of Americans were prepared to throw a fit, regardless of the consequences.”
Pollster: “Are you prepared to throw a fit regardless of the consequences?”
Respondent: “You’re goddam right, I am.”
Watching the Media Meltdown is our new spectator sport.
My wife asked me why I bought us a popcorn-popper, since we rarely eat popcorn. Well, I think it’s time to start.
