Hollywood v. Trump

Donald Trump focus of Emmys as stars bash candidate, accept awards Jimmy Kimmel enlists Jeb Bush to help skewer Donald Trump at Emmys SNIPS:  Kimmel and many of the night's winners set their sights on GOP candidate Donald Trump, while a few gave shout outs to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. Kimmel targeted producer Mark Burnett, who helped make Donald Trump a TV star with his “Apprentice” franchise. “Many have asked who’s to blame for Donald Trump .... “Who do you have lined up to fill in the spot on the Supreme Court,” Kimmel cracked. “Miley Cyrus or CLo?" Louis-Dreyfus said she'd like to apologize for the current state of American politics. Aziz Ansari, who won an Emmy for the Netflix series “Master of None,” mocked Trump’s proposed Muslim immigrant ban. “After careful consideration, I’ve decided I’m going with Trump — which is also why I’m recommending we get rid of all Muslim and Hispanic nominees from the ceremony immediately,” he said. “Mom, Dad … you need to be escorted out right now.”  Transparant” creator Jill Soloway, speaking to reporters backstage after winning her Emmy, compared Trump to Hitler  [full] As for Jeb Bush, this says it all :

Jeb Cantor = Eric Bush

Something WTF

Jeb Bush hires noted GOP base favorite Eric Cantor .  Huh? Jeb Bush to hire noted GOP base favorite Eric Cantor This makes a ton of sense in Bizarro!America, where Eric Cantor is a champion of conservative values and lost his Congressional seat to a man funded by the Establishment to get rid of his brand of conservatism. [RED STATE] Eric Cantor. Champion of conservative values Bizarro!America indeed.  I thought this lede by Joe Cunningham on Red State was the start of some scathing satire.  But I was very wrong.  Joe Cunningham on Red State was serious.  Gee, I think I'm somewhat conservative, and I celebrated  Cantor's loss in the 2014 election primary ("Never before has a House majority leader (Eric Cantor) been defeated in a primary." In the past I have written about him .. Like Eric Cantor, of whom we can say is is the archetypal establishment Republican. That would be mealy-mouthed and unprincipled. Witness ... Eric Cantor gives me the hinkies GOP DOUBLE-CROSSING TRAITORS Brietbart hates him.  Coulter hates him.  Like I said, Bizarro.  Now, it's true that Red State honcho Erick Erickson, whom I find 97.2% copacetic, wasn't the author; but puh-leeze.  Like mom said, you are who you hang with. PS.  Bush and Cantor do belong together however.

The Usual Suspects

“ The Usual Suspects 2016 yawn In quick succession these stories crossed my desk yesterday; a cosmic commencement of the  media battle to have their way with us in 2016.  Bloomberg's  "Walker Surging in Iowa Poll as Bush Struggles" was quickly countered by the WaPost's "Jeb Bush has become the GOP front-runner for 2016 — so now what?" Normally it's the New York Times's job to carry the GOP establishment's water by proclaiming a front runner nobody else wants, but someone the Democrats can defeat.  I'm guessing that the Times will try still to carry on in that capacity, but it's reputation by now is that of a 70 year-old crack whore and of little use beyond the city limits.  The newly burnished WaPost is ascendant. The Liberal Canadian Broadcasting Corporation News's "Sarah Palin's scorched-earth plan for the GOP: Governor challenges party to move sharply right" is of little consequence but will be quoted loudly by American Smugs. Sarah Palin, who now says she's definitely interested in "serving" as president next year, made a speech last weekend at a gathering of Republican White House aspirants in Iowa. It was somewhat coarser, and certainly more bitter, than her usual bundle of platitudes and jingoism. At one point she shouted "Screw the left in Hollywood!" And she complained about how even some Republicans are buying into "this unhealthy new obsession … about this subjective income gap that we're supposed to be so obsessed about right now." [...] Under the headline: "Sarah Palin slips into self-parody," Charles W. Cooke called it "the foreordained culmination of a slow and unseemly descent into farce," suggesting she stay out of the race for the good of her party. Charles W. Cooke writes for National Review, one of this country's premier conservative publications. Under another withering headline, "GOP faces its Sarah Palin problem," Byron York interviewed several dismayed audience members: "It was all quite petty," he concluded. [] The Boston Globe, which never forget backed for high office two of the most incompetent twats extant in Deval Patrick and Elizabeth Warren, does it's thing with "Jeb Bush shaped by troubled Phillips Academy years;" or as Powerline puts it-"JEB BUSH, POT-SMOKING BULLY!" The Boston Globe has a long article on Jeb Bush’s high school years at Andover. The Globe piece has been picked up by many other news outlets; the Hill’s headline is typical: “Jeb Bush was a pot-smoking bully, say former classmates.” What about the claim that Jeb was a bully? It is based on precisely two incidents. In one, Bush and some friends sewed another boy’s pajama bottoms shut. In the other, Bush lifted up another boy. That’s the “bullying” tally for his four years at Andover. Pathetic. This is reminiscent, of course, of the Washington Post’s long story about Mitt Romney’s high school days, featuring a decades-ago incident where Romney and others cut another boy’s hair. It’s remarkable: just when you think investigative reporting is dead, another Republican presidential candidate comes along to get reporters’ juices flowing again. Think what doggedness it requires to go back forty-odd years to research a politician’s high school days! I'm tired. ”
