Charles P. Pierce watched the dotard on Fox and Friends this morning from his perch at Esquire Magazine and, as is his wont, came up with a, or a dozen, memorable (and hilarious) phrases…
“Brian Kilmeade is one of the co-hosts of the Fox News Channel’s morning show,Three Dolts on a Divan.The president* watches this show every day because what else does he have to do, right? It was one of the Fox shows that created him as a viable national political figure, and one of the few shows anywhere completely committed to sustaining him as such. On Thursday morning, he called in, and, over the next several minutes, had what canbe gently called an “episode.”
In no particular order, he threatened to bring the Justice Department under his personal control; praised his magnificent performance in office; defended his nominee to run the VA even though said nominee already had pulled his name from consideration; threw Michael Cohen overboard; admitted he had spent that fateful night in Moscow at the Miss Universe pageant; ranted about the crimes of James Comey, the perfidy of Jon Tester, and the rank dishonesty of the media; and explained to the nation that Abraham Lincoln had been a Republican, which, “people don’t realize.”
Pierce then recounts how Kilmeade cut the dotard off as the idiot began bad mouthing Bob Muller and piling up still more evidence, televised no less, of intent to obstruct justice by...obstructing justice.
A reasonable person might ask, and Pierce is imminently reasonable, why would drumpf behave so stupidly.
And came up with this answer:
“(By the way, one of the charges leveled against Dr. Ronny Jackson was that he dispensed various prescription meds as though they were M&M’s. One of these was modafinil, which Jacksonallegedly doled out as a quick pick-me-upto various White House officials during long and exhausting overseas trips. Considering that the president* went about five minutes with the Fox morning crew before he came to a comma, I’m wondering if Jackson left the key to the medicine cabinet behind. I’m not saying, but I’m just saying…)”
