2016 August 9th
Let’s look back a year. Here is the blog for August 9th
of 2015.
Aug 9th
No fresh villains emerge today so I’ll comment on some who
have been around a while. First we have that gentleman and scholar, Donald
Trump, whose thin skin manifested itself on the Fox debate stage Thursday
night. The first question was certainly designed to put Trump in a corner. The
group was asked to raise a hand if they could not support whoever was chosen as
the nominee. This was asking Trump to declare that he would not run as an
independent if he didn’t like the way the candidate ball bounced. He didn’t
knuckle under and he raised his hand; surprise surprise…and he was not happy to
be the obvious butt of the first question.
Then they hit him again; Megyn Kelly asked him why he was so
nasty to women interviewers. Well, provoke a rattlesnake and it’ll strike at
you. Trump accused this poor woman of being out to get him, of having blood in
her eye and “wherever.” This was an obvious accusation that Kelly’s upset was
attributable to her menstrual period. Asked later if his comments were out of
line his handlers indignantly (and hilariously) claimed that the “wherever”
meant her nose, blood coming out of her nose. That only a deviant could think
he (Trump) meant anything else. But if he meant nose why didn’t he say nose at
the time, instead of saying wherever?
Poor Donald, (?) who because of his wealth, has never had to
worry about how his comments affect anybody, is now playing in a very different
ball park. His remarks got him disinvited to a Red State rally in Alabama where
he would have been the keynote speaker. Oh Pshaw! His ratings out today are
affected not at all.
As an aside: The lovely blonde interlocutor, Megyn Kelly,
who asked the question that got Donald into trouble, is no stranger to
“misspeaking.” A year or so ago, as Christmas closed in, there was some comment
about kids who weren’t white identifying with a white Santa Claus. Ms. Kelly,
quickly seizing the anti-politically correct torch and waving it high, claimed,
“Santa Claus is white. Deal with it!” This comforting word to Santa Claus fans
was followed by, “Jesus Christ was white too.”
Not entirely true. Saint Nicholas was Turkish and Jesus was
a Levantine Middle-Eastern Jew so we are not describing a pair of pail skinned
blue–eyed blondes here. Kelly was asked to explain her remarks because many
people were upset by them. Guess what: they were a joke, that’s right—Megyn
said it was all a joke. In fact, if you listen to her explanation she is very
upset that her listeners didn’t understand the obvious humor in claiming that
Santa Claus and Jesus Christ were white. Megyn should stay with Fox because she
will never make it as a comic… on second thought? This is not to excuse Donald Trump’s boorish
comment about Megyn Kelly, but it is possible that in some twisted sense they
deserve each other.
Now back to the present; we find Roger Aisles and the Fox
soft porn show in considerable difficulty. Roger is being sued by many former
lady “friends” and is out of a job with a mere 40 mil severance package. Oh my,
what’s the poor old man to do now?
