I'm shocked at how poorly written that piece is. It's as if she had 15 minutes to get 'er done and she did it. She could easily have kept the Clintons out of it, but then she would have had to write something more well-rounded and that would have taken longer. No doubt she was on deadline.
And someone please tell Kathleen that it was REAGAN who was the Teflon president and not Clinton.
No, everything clung to Clinton. The Right Wing made sure of that.
That’s actually a very Republican-like statement. There’s no basis for it, it’s just a made-up explanation for the purpose of providing her with an excuse.
She’s minimizing Republican misdeeds and obsessing about the Clintons, because, as we’ve seen so often from the media and from her specifically, that’s what she does.
We shouldn’t be trying to provide excuses to cover for her.
Nah, I didn't think you were intending to excuse her. But with it's "no doubt" certainty it did sound like a the typical Republican revisioning of truth.
There is this tendency people have to come up with explanations that may make behavior somewhat acceptable. It's something we need to make sure e don't do.
We need to be unhesitating and unapologetic about calling them on their shit. "When they go low, we go high." DOESN'T mean we need to avoid pointing out that they're going low. On the contrary, they're counting on us not making a scene (to not fight back).
I'm going to let you go on this, Christopher, because I don't want to hijack this important piece, but just so you know--I've been an opinion writer for newspapers and on the internet for more than 30 years. I don't need lessons.
Perhaps I have been as well. Not sure how that’s relevant.
You wrote something, I responded to it. As an opinion writer for 30 years one might think you’d have run into people commenting on your writings before.
Trump tried to overturn an election that he lost decisively and has ever since refused to acknowledge that he lost. He's going to follow Project 2025 if he is returned to the White House. The analysis begins and ends right there with me, as it should with anyone who is not part of the cult. That includes the media.

Really? You thought I was making excuses for her? Hmm. Where's that Wink Wink emoji when I need it.

We need to show them they're wrong about that.

Sure, but you totally misread it and then decided a nice condescending lecture was the way to go. It wasn't.
Now I'm done.

The only person who abused Monica Lewinsky was Linda Tripp. Did Parker mention her?
