This Fucking Guy: Kathleen Parker
The WaPo opinion writer who somehow won a Pulitzer in 2010 shows that she is founding member of mount bullshit.
I pulled the trigger early this week on the HGotW, because the human turtle decided to mouth off on the 80th anniversary of D-Day, but that doesn't mean that there can’t be other wastes of skin that pop up.
Case in Point: Kathleen Parker, the queen of shit-takes, takes to the rag of WaPo to dribble about the race for president: “The White House is no place for old men”
Out of the gate, she whips out this gem that I am sure sounded better in her mind:
The first shots of the 2024 battle for the presidency have been fired by the two oldest humans ever to suffer self-delusion at the country’s expense. The highest-stakes contest in the democratic world is between a criminal and a codger.
A fucking pathetic attempt to equate the two candidates. And she was clever to alliterate with "criminal” and “codger”. Ain’t she clever? - NOT.
Then she has the audacity to say that Biden should enjoy his moment to call out the felon he is up against, with the back handed reference to the fucked hit piece in the WSJ, taking it as gospel since the only two “on the record” references were Mike Johnson, and Kevin McCarthy, two obviously unbiased sources.
He should enjoy the moment because, otherwise, the president toggles between lucidity and a dimming of the mind that is obvious to anyone whose political interests do not require denial. A recent investigation by the Wall Street Journal tracked Biden’s cognitive condition and interviewed 45 lawmakers and administration officials about him.
Look, the hit piece has been loudly debunked, it being a clear case of the odious Rupert “cradle robbing” Murdoch using his most respectable outlet to slam Democrats, I mean it is totally his MO.
This fucking guy (gal) just drools paragraph after paragraph of hits that aren’t supported, before finally mentioning that the cheeto-tinged dotard orangutang is actually really fucking worse.
I mean for fuck’s sake she even downplays the boorish behavior that led to the coverup and finally the FELONY conviction of Trump, dismissing it as a distraction.
Trump’s trial concerning his sexual history with a porn star was a distraction from his far more serious affronts: the lies, disinformation, gaslighting and pettifoggery. But her testimony and that of others reminded us that Trump has the character of a honey badger.
Jesus Titty-Fucking Christ, pick a lane. Sure, you want younger candidates, and ones that you agree with more.
I mean, I would love to have a weekend in Fiji in the company of Jessica Alba and Scarlett Johansen, but that ship never came near my port of call.
I know the Post is going to go through some things, and it is going to become much worse than the fallen star that was the Paper of Record, but can they at least flush these turds? While they are at it, Jim Geraghty, Henry Olsen and the rest of their “balance” conservative shit spinners should join Parker in the oubliette.
When I hear people griping about Biden’s age, I wonder if they were deprived the wonder and joy of having grandparents. I lived in awe of the experiences my 4 grandparents had lived through. Listening to them tell their stories, was like living through our country’s past. My two grandmothers lived long full lives filled with hard work and joy.
My dad’s mother lived and I do mean lived a full life until she was 105. Her memory was better than mine. She could remember every detail including the postman’s name when she was five. She grew up near the Canadian border on a dairy farm in Minnesota listening to the very first radio broadcasts. Her stories of our country’s history were better than reading any history book. She was very excited about politics and she hated Bush Jr. When he won, she was pissed. She said, if she’d had a better walker she be going to Canada. And I never doubted her.
But my favorite thing was her long stories about former Presidents like my favorite FDR during the depression, his fireside chats, the Japanese internment camps and the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The things she said about Hitler are burned in my memory. She was a child of German immigrants so it was personal. Authors documenting the wars and the news events from around the world could never really match how it felt to live through it.
Well, this rambling is my way of telling voters that putting their trust in Biden is far less frightening than reelecting the worst president in history. The experience Joe has gives him such depth in dealing with the potential horrors awaiting us. I only wish Grandma was still here she’d set you straight. But it is better that she never knows how her beloved country has fallen into despair and the evil events she lived through have reared up again. She’d be watching the election night returns with the TV up loud. And if need be, she’d help me cope with history repeating itself.
"The first shots of the 2024 battle for the presidency have been fired by the two oldest humans ever to suffer self-delusion at the country’s expense."
Oh honey. You really need to get out more.
