"The vast and mighty chorus of the GOP faithful, in nonstop rehearsals throughout the presidential campaign with their rousing renditions of Lock her up! Lock her up!, has succumbed to a mass outbreak of laryngitis."
"It is not possible that their fervor to hound accused government figures suspected of wrongdoing could have waned. No, their ardor was indomitable, racing manically far ahead of any actual charges levied, trials conducted, sentences passed. Their demand for clean government was unyielding; you could see it in their glinting eyes and hear it in their burning, fervent chants as they demanded jail for the investigated."
"Now, as President Trump burns through lawyers like an unregulated coal oven and changes his story by the hour about such small concerns as concealed financial and personal dealings potentially reaching from Trumps hidden tax returns and campaign staffers all the way to a hostile foreign power and back through unexplained hush money paid to a porn star it is such a shame that the GOPs righteous vocal talents are laid low. Stilled by mysterious circumstances...Are they complicit? We may never know, as they too have lawyered up and informed us that they have the right to remain silent."

(6,265 posts)Ted Kennedy was running (I was too young before then) and he spent so much time talking about his opponents. It was like that was all he did. I wanted to grab him by the throat and make him tell us what he wanted to do if elected. But of course using all that hot air to put down his opponents didn't give him enough time to tell us about him.
That had a lot to do with my learning to detest politicians.
