...it's easy to forget that ambulatory venom sac Rich "Little Starbursts" Lowry is also kind of a dope.
And then The New York Times goes and gives him a Very Big megaphone so he can remind us.
Can You Tell Me What Would Happen if the F.B.I. Were Investigating a Democrat?
By Rich Lowry
Before we get to schoolin' Richy, let's stop to appreciate one of the little gems along the way.
George W. Bush is now widely considered a relatively benign figure from a bygone, pre-Trump era.
No, he is not. He was and is a monster. He has, however, been successfully buried under a Chernobyl-thick layer of strategic forgettery by both Conservatives goofs like Lowry and a compliant mainstream media who did not want their complicity in lying us into Bush's Iraqi Clusterfuck chained forever to the memory of the worst president in American history...until the same party nominated and elected Trump.
Now where were we?
Oh yeah. What if...?
Well just off the top of my head there was...
...Dan Rostenkowski – the powerful Democratic chair of the House Ways & Means committee.
...Hillary Clinton. Investigated. Had her campaign sabotaged by the head of the FBI 10 days before the 2016 election.
...the entire Mike Madigan machine here in Illinois.
...and good old Federal Bureau of Prisons #40892–424 himself, Rod Blagojevich.
...also less well known is Rod Blagojevich's former chief of staff, John Harris, who was sentenced to 10 days in prison for helping his old boss attempt to sell President Barack Obama's vacated Senate seat.
Honestly, Rich, you could save yourself so much agita by just peeping out of your hermetic bubble of smug once and awhile and just asking someone who remembers the past to, y'know, remember the past.

To be fair, he was typing that with only one hand ;-)
I have never seen anyone so mistreated for so long.
So unfairly at that.
Which brings to mind we need to discover a way of holding people (republicans) accountable for their crimes without leaving them with such distressed poor, sad and low self esteem.
Punishments for crimes committed are going to have become
something pleasant and uplifting and not inconvenient to the perp. Or is "perp" to harsh ?
How did this species of the human race ever evolve enough to survive the past.
With Blagojevich being pardoned by the vast orange bag of phlegm and treason.
I think underlying his piece is "what if a D crimed on the level of Trump". The nice thing is that we don't need to worry about it because they haven't. And its a freaking propagandist's pet canard to pretend this would be an everyday possibility, you know, that the Ds would elect a monster like Trump and let him go as far as his party has done.
