Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | All Aboard The Good Ship KristolPopThe article is almost a year old, but it is as fresh and lovely as ever. Any time somebody takes a shot at Cruise Director Bill is a good time, and this one is particularly sharp and cutting. Kristol is the founder and editor-at-large of The Weekly Standard and inarguably the most anti-Trump of the NeverTrump Republicans. He has cleverly carved out a niche for himself as the Left’s go-to guy for a nasty comment or tweet about the president. Kristol’s criticism also extends to the president’s staff, family, and voters. He rants about Republicans in Congress who support Trump and smugly doles out advice about how they can usurp the president’s power and agenda. For all of Kristol’s invective, somehow Democrats have emerged untouched. One of the most laughable things about Bill Kristol is that his NeverTrump mania is devoid of anything other than smug snark and elitist haughtiness. If he had anything of substance to say about President Trump it would go a long way toward making it easier to take him seriously, or at least not laugh uproariously and make fart noises with your hands. Well, on second thought, no that's not the case. He is a perfect pompous asshole, and nothing can save him from that. And...something delightful below the break...

King Kristol of Cuckistan. What a joke he's become. I wouldn't have lumped Palin in there with Keyes and McMuffin though. She actually was appealing. The other two, not as much, and I actually like Keyes somewhat. He's just way too strident for most people's taste, I think.

Sarah Palin was neither unqualified nor unappealing, but I can't deny that she had absolutely no chance of winning. Being shackled to a ticket that was determined to drive straight off a cliff did not improve her chances much either.

Posted by: hogmartin at September 23, 2018 02:11 PM (y87Qq) I've thought about the 2008 campaign since then... I don't really think Palin did anything wrong or could have done anything better. The media was in seek and destroy mode, and I'm really not sure she could have beat that back. Especially as a VP candidate, where you're stuck within the confines of what the person at the top of the ticket dictates. She was a woman, so she had to be destroyed. She had a midwest'ish accent and didn't go to the ivy league, so the medias hook was "haha! look at this stupid hick" and no matter what she did, that was going to be how they framed every story about her.

Posted by: Harry Paratestes at September 23, 2018 02:14 PM (GBteo) Her counter could have worked against an opposition that had any shred of dignity or decorum or shame, but it seems like nobody really appreciated at the time how fundamentally vile they really are. I think about the R candidates in the last few elections and how I considered them at the time, weighing their relative tenacity as "fighters". It's risible. And then PDT comes in and at first I'm thinking "ugh, he's going to make us look awful" and then "wait, is he swinging a chain at that guy's face" and then "OMG it is literally raining teeth on that stage, this is the best thing ever, more please".

If he had anything of substance to say about President Trump it would go a long way toward making it easier to take him seriously, or at least not laugh uproariously and make fart noises with your hands. You know you're coming up on your 29th birfday (and receiving all the wisdom due someone of that advanced age) when you start hearing all the stuff that doesn't get said. F'rinstance, did you ever notice how Progressives never quote our Constitution as justification for anything? Take a look at this Kavanaugh circus: we have elected officials pretty much dismissing that whole "due process" thingy. Hell, even Grassley won't mention it, which is rather curious in the extreme. That Hirono rep pretty much said so in that Jerk Tapper interview when axed if Kav deserves the basic legal right to be considered innocent until proven guilty. Any answer other than "certainly so according to our laws" is dead wrong. This is coming from someone who swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution? What's wrong here? Only PDT has mentioned anything about a police report. If what Kav was alleged to have done was bad enough to derail his SCOTUS appointment, it should've been bad enough to file a police report right after it happened. Grassley should say as much on Monday right before he calls a vote to confirm. Posted by: BackwardsBoy (A Deplorable Dixie Dreg of Society) at September 23, 2018 02:22 PM (HaL55) 51

Apparently this morning on TV she blazed legitimately new, jaw-dropping territory in the Dems' ongoing effort to create a completely idiotic, lawless, hate-based society (talking about Kav, of course).

56 I think how Palin got treated was a major stepping stone to the rise of Trump.
Posted by: Dack Thrombosis at September 23, 2018 02:24 PM (4ErVI) I think Trump studied it, as well. Because he did come up with ways to counter it. The media portrays Republicans as: a) stupid (Bush, Palin, etc.) b) rich and out of touch (Romney, McCain and has 8 mansions) and/or c) evil (Romney's dog, McCain, Bush) So Trump countered (a) by talking about his brilliant businesses and how amazing Wharton is, best school ever and all of that. He just completely embraced (b). and (c) never really stuck, mostly because he's a funny guy. I guess the "we can't trust Trump with the nuclear codes! he's a nut!" thing was a good try, but I don't think anyone really bought it. So he was able to parry the media and left's normal attacks. I think the only way he did it so well was by studying how others had failed. And I think the only reason we put up with Trump's ridiculousness was because we've watched the media make some combination of those 3 arguments against every R since, what, Ike? Lincoln? It's the same playbook every fucking time. Posted by: Harry Paratestes at September 23, 2018 02:28 PM (GBteo) 66

Dear Harry P -- I don't find anything 'ridiculous' about PDJT. Even as a prim Midwesterner, he does not offend me in the least. I really admired Palin for doing the great job she did not knowing that she was really chosen as a loser. Something about fraternities/sororities choosing the 'ugliest' people to be invited to a party. Maybe it is a coastie thing to put people out in public to ridicule them.

Absolutely awesome video! Thanks. Perfect application to the post.
Still get angry though. The media did an absolute number on Sarah Palin. She was put out there by the McCain campaign with relatively little experience. And when the Democrats and media barbarians swarmed in to savagely trash her and her family, not one GOP wimp - purportedly her fellow party members who just maybe should have had her back- lifted a finger to defend or support her. Her party acted like the little kids in first grade when an older, bigger bully decides to target someone. They stand back, watch the show, and then even laugh or go along because they are so glad they aren't the target. Naw, we don't need someone who fights in the oval office. Not at all.Not when we have the cruiservatives on our side. Have to sign off, getting too irritated on a Sunday to bloviate further. Posted by: RM at September 23, 2018 02:36 PM (U3LtS) 100

89 Dear Harry P -- I don't find anything 'ridiculous' about PDJT. Even as a prim Midwesterner, he does not offend me in the least. I really admired Palin for doing the great job she did not knowing that she was really chosen as a loser. Something about fraternities/sororities choosing the 'ugliest' people to be invited to a party. Maybe it is a coastie thing to put people out in public to ridicule them.
Posted by: mustbequantum at September 23, 2018 02:33 PM (MIKMs) Well, I mean, I like the guy -- but he is definitely ridiculous. I laughed out loud when he said (in response to Rubio talking about the size of his hands, and the inferences therein) "there's no problem there, believe me." It was a ridiculous thing to say. I loved it, but he says ridiculous shit all the time. As for Palin? Yeah, she was dealt a bum hand. And, fair or not, hinterland accents hinder national political career advancement.

Yeah, what is "ridiculous" sort of depends on your practical intelligence, experience, seriousness, knowledge, and smarts.
Thus, Obama was ridiculous to anyone with a clue. Saw him up close first time, was hard to stifle actual laughter (some of his colleagues were mocking him, making it hard not to laugh inappropriately). Of course every time he opened his mouth, it was pathetic. But not to people who can listen to NPR or BBC without laughing or instantly fisking their crap, in real time. Worst political class, ever.

Regardless of the reputation of Neverskankles on this fine blog, I believe Obama would've beaten anyone challenging him.
The Iraq War was never popular, Bush spent most of the time rolling on the ground covering his balls while the Dems beat him senseless (refusing to fight back is weak), first serious black candidate (I know but most people thought this anyway), it's rare to get three terms for one party, McCain sucked, and the financial crisis provided a huge amount of cover for King Coffee. YET...I clearly remember McCain pulled ahead for a brief time after picking Palin. She was intriguing enough that it pushed him up for a time. Then the crisis hit and they sank back and never recovered. What occasionally haunts me is that McCain as president would've most likely been an absolute disaster of more wars. The potential existed there to banish the party to the wilderness for a generation. We may have dodged a bullet. Obama was bad but he could've been far, FAR worse. Fortunately he lacked important attributes like not being a lazy piece of shit. Imagine if he had Trump's drive and will to power. That's not saying he didn't do damage. Obamacare was bad enough but the real horror set in during his second term where his administration ramped up the SJW stuff. We're still suffering from it.

Although Trump doesn't have a strong accent, and FDR had a weird upper-class clipped way of speaking more than a traditional NY accent. And Bush could kind of turn his on and off (but he was called stupid all the time by the media, in part due to his accent.) Clinton? His accent seems to have faded over the years. He did have one in the early '90s when I listen to clips from back then. Obama? No discernible accent, I don't think. HW? Same, he was from new England.

Standard American English (SAE), whole Pacific coast and much of the southwest, controversial concept in linguistics, but the era of electronic communications (in which the standard was/is SAE) doesn't lie.
De facto "standard" accent. In the Arab world, numbers and dominance in media made Egyptian Arabic standard. American case is more curious. When electronic communications, primarily TV, developed post-WWII, Pacific coast was not dominant in any sphere, population increase and economic booms were still in their infancy. Yet most of the voices heard on TV, and increasingly on radio, were SAE, and eventually almost entirely so. Posted by: rhomboid at September 23, 2018 02:54 PM (QDnY+) 196

How many likely voters have awareness beyond an accusation being made?
Will they become aware of the 4 people, under oath, saying "nope, never happened"? If that awareness is reached, how does that impact their voting behavior in November? I will speculate that these questions are of great concern to people like Joe Manchin, because things like this impact turnout.

How do you *belive* a story that has no details and no witnesses? Posted by: Cheribebe at September 23, 2018 03:18 PM (DAdSz) 342
I don't think giving her the opportunity to testify is a loss of a compromise. It will give the country, those interested, an occasion to focus on the allegations. And the more tearful and put-upon she is, the better. Even if you take her allegations as 100 percent true, it's remarkably weird and fragile to be busted up over it 36 years later. There are actual rape victims who are less traumatized after that many years.

She testifies and breaks down in tears very effectively
It's bullshit that women can get away with murder simply by crying whenever they're frustrated, angry, upset, sad, etc. If you can't control your emotions any better than that, you shouldn't be voting, holding office, or doing anything that requires emotional stability.

read the story carefully, and pay attention to how they word what they say:
We committed to moving forward with an open hearing onThursday Sept 27 at 10:00 am. (nothing definitive about who is participating) A number of important procedural and logistical issues remain unresolved, although they will not impede the hearing taking place (again) Among those issues is who on the Majority side will be asking the questions, whether senators or staff attorneys (what are they afraid of?) We were told no decision has been made on this important issue, even though various senators have been dismissive of her account and should have to shoulder their responsibility to ask her questions. Nor were we told when we would have that answer or answers to the other unresolved issues. We look forward to hearing back from the Majority staff as soon as possible on these important matters. (IOW, we can still back out and blame the Committee) this is all a stall. Posted by: redc1c4 at September 23, 2018 03:21 PM (rjbMC) 356

Are you doubting my veracity as a thorough going Republican voter who voted for every Republican President for the past 100 years?. That is the only reason I never have anything thing positive to say and have been posting on Kavanaugh for the past four days non stop, because I'm THE conservative of conservatives, and my predictions are so good. In fact they're so good I bet on them. I do this posting not for an filthy lucre but in a disinterested spirit of concern for Kavanaugh and for all conservative voters here.

Puddle, there is anecdotal and other evidence, without anything contrary, indicating your reaction is the predominant reaction nationally. And after Ford's last-minute no-show, or debacle before the committee, that will grow and become cemented.

Apparently Patty Murray's long hold on the title of Dumbest Senator is in real peril. The airhead from HI, Hirono, is making a move. Apparently this morning on TV she blazed legitimately new, jaw-dropping territory in the Dems' ongoing effort to create a completely idiotic, lawless, hate-based society (talking about Kav, of course). Won't take time away from cleaning 30-06 brass and washing dishes to look at it, but some here are gluttons for punishment, so, passing it along. Posted by: rhomboid at September 23, 2018 02:27 PM (QDnY+) Patty Murray not the dumbest Senator? No, the Hawaiian Senator that told men to just shut up may be having a magnificent week at being a stupid pile of rocks, but Hirono is just on a hot streak. Sports statiticians call it "returning to the norm". Hirono is a stupid moron for a couple of weeks, on a single issue. Patty on the other hand, is consistently stupid on a wide variety of important issues. Patty once, many years ago when Boeing was hurting, thousands were out of work, and Bill Clinton was negotiating to get the Saudis to buy Boeing instead of Airbus, which meant thousands of high paying jobs for the Puget Sound. The secret negotiations went on for months. At the 11th hour, 59 minute, it looked like Boeing was going to get an order for over $3 billion. So Patty went on the news and bragged about it, because she was in on the negotiations (aware, not a part of). The Saudis were supremely insulted, and a few days later, announced a 1.1 billion Boeing order, and a 1.8 billion Airbus order. It was expected to be 100% Boeing, until Patty bragged about it. I will never forget that one, watched it unfold over a week on the local news and local Business Journal. It hurt a lot of working people.

It all had to be constructed carefully. The description of the event had to be horrible, but not so horrible as to trigger a "and you never told your parents or the cops?" reaction. the planting of the story had to convey reluctance, but also the ability to be acted on swiftly. only mystery to me is how they decided what names to include as being at the scene. there's a rationale behind it, but it must have been faulty since none of them are playing along.

We are in a surreal world anymore where fact and logic don't matter anymore, at least not compared to emotions and the narrative. If Dr. Ford folds, who know what insanity the left will come up with this week, their idiot base will believe every word of it and the whole shit-show starts again.

I'm sure the "brilliant," well-heeled, Ed Wheelan-type "consultants" and "insiders" are telling Kavanaugh to just read a short statement saying he didn't do it and then take questions from the foaming-at-the-mouth Senators.
What he should do is go through the evidence, point by point, and annihilate Ford's claim, just like he would if he was writing a decision. That is what would get played on the news.
