First time that idiot actually was right about something (he who had the biggest hard-on for war, especially as chairman of the PNAC, AND found fellow idiot Sarah Palin and brought her to the attention of John McCain as a running mate).

Btw - little bit o' trivia here - anybody remember when, during one of the many interviews then-VP hopeful Palin said that Zamboni sounded like a cool name for their next kid (if they were gonna have one)?

With those disgusting hard core Trashpot followers. So foul with their allegiance to Putin. These are the same assholes who if Trashpot was saying death to Putin they'd be rallying around that. The unreachable deplorables.

Yeh, good tweet, but it's three grains of sand in the mile-wide crater of his career. Doesn't really fill it in.

12. I'm glad that sometimes the faithful conservative talking heads get a chance to dissent.

Sort of like when W. tried to appoint his personal attorney to the Supreme Court. The George Wills of the world need to be allowed to speak the truth from time to time. (Unlike Trump) some of them actually have a brain and some talent and maybe even a little smidgen of values.

Barthes has some pertinent things to say about how the political left has an advantage when it comes to creativity, since they, by definition, are allowed to question and suggest change while the political right is supposed to pretend that "history is nature".

You've finally noticed the Real World about 50 years too late.

So here's my question. Are your columns and TV appearances going to reflect your having "tuned in" to reality. Or, outside of Putin and John Lewis, are you going to continue to spew out Republican venom/lies/propaganda?

I guess we'll have to wait for your next appearance in print or on TV to find out if you've been enlightened, or if you are going to go on spouting the same shit you've spread most of your professional life.

...opposition to Dumpf will be the thing that bring Dems and (the few sensible) Repubs back together to re-unite the country from its divisions...

Probably not though.

...to see the rats fleeing a sinking ship.

One by one they are slowly distancing themselves. They think the shit is going to hit the fan with Don the Con. I also think Ryan's "town hall" was just a stunt to make him look "Presidential"....shoring up his image in preparation.
