Which wipes Beltway memories so conveniently clean.
Yesterday's big winner was Barry McCaffrey who you might remember as a "Four Star US Army General Ret. Joint Commander SOUTHCOM. Clinton Cabinet Drug Policy. Nat Sec Professor West Point. Council Foreign Relations". Which retroactively scares the hell out of me considering that old Bar' is clearly very, very bad at the job of analyzing critical problems and figuring out what caused them.
But what Barry may lack in the "being able to see staggeringly obvious shit that is staring him right in the face" department he more that makes up for in the "spouting Both Siderist drivel" department, thus guaranteeing him a job shining the seat of a chair with his ass at the Beltway Media table from now until the end of time.Our two political parties are broken. Republican Party a Trump cult. Refuse to hold lawless President accountable. The Democratic Party a clown car that cannot bring together a fractious America with a sensible message of what a united America looks like.— Barry R McCaffrey (@mccaffreyr3) February 5, 2020
UPDATE: And today, Dana Bash jumps into the fray with her hot take on how Both Sides Do It.
From Media Matters:
CNN's Dana Bash blames “both sides” for a lack of decorum during State of the Union
So should Dana or Barry or any other Very Serious Media Person drunk on Both Siderist poteen ever stumble across my crappy blog, for their benefit I will repeat what I have already written dozens of different times in dozens of different ways,
See, we already had a perfect, eight-year test case to see what would happen if Democrats walked on egg-shells and treated the unhinged, rage-drunk Republican Party with kid gloves. No loud noises. No sudden movements. Instead, the Democrats twice elected a calm, rational, humane, honorable, compromise-prone Centrist president who ran on a message of hope and unity and who, in the middle of two wars, a global economic collapse and a health care debacle all of which were brought to us courtesy of Republican policies offered the GOP every possible opportunity not to be racist, seditious assholes.
In return they told Barack Obama to go pound sand and then elected the King of the Birthers.
So why don't you just fuck right off, Barry.
And take Dana with you.
Behold, a Tip Jar!

At the SOTU
There was only one side that was lying, boasting about things he did not accomplish. Taking credit for what other people did. While claiming he loves Americans that he has been tweeting in angry rages over and screwing financially in favor of himself and his percieved pals.
While one side was ripping in half the written speech of miscreant page by page.
HR 2, HR2, HR2 Chants out another side.
Were President Obama truly a centrist, the GOP/RU would hardly have laid into him as they did.
a-fucking-men. Assholes never run out of ridiculous things to say.
The bullshit thing about it is, you KNOW the moron Pundits will spend the next week complaining about the "death of decorum" because of Nancy's actions. No mention of Trump's lying, or giving the fucking Presidential Medal of Freedom to Rush fucking Limbaugh; no, it'll be all about how mean it was for Nancy to tear up the President's speech. Because decorum only counts for Democrats.
Aatr's tits, that was sweet.

That is freaking BEAUTIFUL, DG!! Pure poetry. Clear, and succinct. I wish I could write so well.
And please if you'll allow me, the one thing I might add to "...and then elected the King of the Birthers" is:
"and did everything in THEIR power to keep HIM in power, thus showing all of America (and the world) their true selves and assuring us that their destructive hate was not merely just a reaction to the smart black guy, but is inextricably hardwired into their core being. Republican Party Member first, money-grubbing media whore second, sentient human....waaaay further down the list."
Not trying to put words in your mouth. Yours stand wonderfully. Thank you for that.
