The Schadenfreude is delightful...
The inevitable has happened, probably sooner that I expected, but it still is delish!
The (long anticipated) departure of Ronnie D. yesterday promised to usher in a bevy of posts from the commenterati this morning, and I was not disappointed. It’s been a while since I shared what I am reading, but it seems appropriate to take some gloating traipses.
First up last night was a short video by Chris Cillizza for paid subs. Not really gloating, but a good short synopsis. Alas it is solely for paid subscribers, and he did promise a more in depth read this AM. I was not disappointed:
Answer: really fucking bad. From the botched abortion of his official launch on Twitter, to the cackling laughter, and the absolute lack of any charm or warmth, this was really the only outcome.
Not to be outdone, Rick Wilson of The Lincoln Project comes through with some wit and zingers. He truly has a way with words that you just have to read.
A taste:
Ron DeSantis the Ted Cruz of Scott Walkers. He’s the antithesis of charisma and appeal. He’s back in Florida, seething and furious in his Adams Street lair of the Governor’s Mansion, but that’s a story now for Florida to work through.
Chef’s kiss, no notes, 13/10
This was enough for me to push the button and upgrade to paid.
Of course, I can’t neglect The Bulwark. I do still read the Morning Shots (it’s free), and Charlie Sykes delivers the riposte with elan:
I remember in late Winter 2023 where there was some rumbling of support at The Bulwark for RDS to be the one:
I always thought they were getting high on their own supply, as RDS had all the charisma of a 2 week old dog turd on your lawn. At least it is easier to pick up, amirite?
I am sure there will be more piling on, but as Dr. Krieger from Archer is fond of saying, I can only get so hard
A glorious start to the week. And tomorrow when Trump humiliates Nikki Haley, the Republican primary will be over.
Good thing too, because Trump is gonna need time to spend in all the courtrooms as his trials progress.
All I can say to this wonderful news is Nah Nah Nah Nah, Nah Nah Nah Nah, Hey Hey Hey, Good bye Ron De-doofus! Do not let the door hit yah where the good lawd's split yah. May all the fascist, racist jerkoff's meet similar end.
