Conservative columnist Peggy Noonan eviscerates Donald Trump in new column.

Courtesy of the Wall Street Journal:  

The president’s primary problem as a leader is not that he is impetuous, brash or naive. It’s not that he is inexperienced, crude, an outsider. It is that he is weak and sniveling. It is that he undermines himself almost daily by ignoring traditional norms and forms of American masculinity. 

He’s not strong and self-controlled, not cool and tough, not low-key and determined; he’s whiny, weepy and self-pitying. He throws himself, sobbing, on the body politic. He’s a drama queen. It was once said, sarcastically, of George H.W. Bush that he reminded everyone of her first husband. Trump must remind people of their first wife. Actually his wife, Melania, is tougher than he is with her stoicism and grace, her self-discipline and desire to show the world respect by presenting herself with dignity. […] 

His public brutalizing of Attorney General Jeff Sessions isn’t strong, cool and deadly; it’s limp, lame and blubbery. “Sessions has taken a VERY weak position on Hillary Clinton crimes,” he tweeted this week. Talk about projection. 

Damn!

 Noonan sums up her verbal curb stomping of Donald Trump thusly:

Donald Trump now is like an unfunny Woody Allen.

Yeah in the world of conservatism it does not get much worse than to be compared to Woody Allen or Alan Alda.

Though to be honest I think either one of those guys could crush Donald Trump in a street brawl.

I mean by the time the guy finally liberated his overly plump arms from the confines of his suit, courtesy of Omar the Tent Maker, he would be way too exhausted to actually make a fist. 

Other than that I think that Noonan has perfectly described Trump's lack of manliness in a way that I am sure will inspire him to wake up at 3:00 AM and slam his pudgy digits onto the keys of his smart phone until the hurting stops.

Maybe he will even call up the Mooch and have him do that thing where he describes what a great athlete Trump is:

“He’s the most competitive person I’ve ever met,” Scaramucci said. “Okay? I’ve seen this guy throw a dead spiral through a tire. I’ve seen him at Madison Square Garden with a topcoat on. He’s standing in the key; he’s hitting foul shots and swishing them, all right? He sinks 30-foot putts.” 

"Say it again Moochy, only slower this time and try to make it sexy."

Somehow I think feminists will get over it.

Here is the column that this tweet refers to.

Get a load of this:

If you look for a reason to hate men, chances are you’re going to find it. 

The truth is, I don’t blame women, (especially in my generation) for hating men. They’ve been told there’s a wage gap (I disagree). That there’s a culture of rape on college campuses (I also disagree). And the patriarchy is keeping them oppressed in almost every facet of their lives (I really, really disagree.)

So first this guy refutes any evidence which supports a woman's feelings about gender inequality, and then demonstrates his ignorance about women, relationships. and even love.

People who are more loyal to their gender and not their significant other don’t make good partners. They will always look at you as inherently more fortunate than them. They’ve bought into the “battle of the sexes” mentality and it often pervades their perceptions of romance. Romance turns into a power struggle rather than a partnership.

I don't even know what it means to be more loyal to ones gender than to their loved one.

That sounds like a made up circumstance from a guy who does not get a lot of female attention.

I don't believe romance is often a power struggle, though relationships certainly  can be.

And that can happen in ALL relationships, not just those involving members of the opposite sex.

It’s a shame, really, that this divide is widening between the sexes. It’s evident that gender politics is hurting our culture. More marriages are failing and women are reporting that they’re unhappier now than ever. Perhaps in several decades this won’t be the case. 

Maybe one day, men and women will stop trying to eliminate the lines between us and realize it’s the differences between the sexes that make romance, family and love an enjoyable experience.

"Gender politics?" Is that even a thing?

If you are getting the feeling that this guy might be a woman hating conservative, his Twitter feed will do little to dissuade you.

He seems to have a real issue with women and liberalism in general. Go figure.

(And yes he supports Donald Trump.)

Personally I have never heard of the guy, but this article is blowing up all over the interwebs.

So here let me offer my two cents.

All of the terrible things Hillary Clinton has done (According to multiple conservative sources.) in one handy list.

A columnist by the name of Brett Arends compiled this list, and though most of them are pure unadulterated BS, that does not mean you will not be hearing them repeated ad nauseam as this political season moves forward.

Here we go: 

Sarah Palin promotes a guy, who promotes a warrior mindset among conservative politicians. You know because that's such a good idea.

Courtesy of Rifle Barrel Stroking Barbie's Facebook page: 

Doug Giles is a go-to guy for inspiration, friends. I shouted him out again last night in a pro-Second Amendment speech that included excerpts from his pro-hunting book, “Rise, Eat, Kill.” He’s the proud dad of amazing young patriots, including Hannah Giles who courageously helped take down ACORN with her undercover videos revealing the liberals' appalling corruption that is ruining our nation. I love how Doug pulls no punches! Here he warns that we'd better oust our wussified leaders who won't fight to the death to ensure our freedom and support mighty warriors willing and able to do so.

Hannah Giles, now why does that name sound so familiar?

Oh yeah she's the young, impressionable girl who James O'Keefe talked into dressing alike a prostitute so that he could produce his heavily edited attack piece against ACORN.

Giles was later successfully sued by an ACORN employee, and had to pay $50,000, for invasion of the man's privacy.

So of course Sarah Palin would admire her.

As for her father this is what he says in the Town Hall article that Palin links to:

I’ve been reading Steven Pressfield’s musings on warriors and warfare and this quote struck me like Ike Turner punching Tina when she fell flat while singing, “Rolling On The River”. Check it out. 

“The Spartans do not ask how many are the enemy but where are they.” - Plutarch, Sayings Of The Spartans 

And that, my friend, is one of the big differences between a warrior and a wuss.

....

Politically speaking, I wish those who “represent us on the Right” would take this warrior mindset to heart versus rolling up in the fetal position and wetting their massive Republican diaper once they’re faced with the teeth of the liberal beast. The Left zealously sports this “die or be killed” attitude as they approach our culture wars, whereas those on the Right are mostly/merely butt-smoochin’ wind-testers, more vexed about whether or not they can keep their condo in D.C., their smidgen of faux power and their mistress, versus upholding our constitutional principles which have made us, heretofore, the most stonkin’ nation known to mankind.

Now I know what you are thinking, "Gryphen you clearly made that up to make this guy look like some illiterate cretinous dipshit. Nobody could be this simple minded, and inarticulate, and still manage to get an article published online."

Wrong. In fact this guy is a rather popular columnist with several conservative outlets.  (Besides I don't even know what "stonkin" means.)

The guy goes on to insist that Right Wing politicians need to attack every problem as if they are Leonidas going up against the Persians.

Perhaps he did not watch the movie and realize how that worked out for the Spartan king.

A rabid Right Wing provocateur, with not understanding of how government works or the tools required for a successful leader.

Yep sounds like just the kind of guy that Palin would identify with.

Columnist for the conservative Media Research Center has a ghostwriter write his columns for him while he takes all the credit and almost all of the money. Hmm, now who does that sound like?

Courtesy of Jim Romenseko:  

The conservative Media Research Center often urges liberal news outlets to TELL THE TRUTH, but the Reston, VA-based press watchdog isn’t telling the truth about its own leader: Brent Bozell doesn’t write the syndicated column that appears under his byline. 

It is longtime MRC media analysis director Tim Graham who writes “almost everything published under [Bozell's] name,” a former MRC employee tells me in an email. “That includes his weekly column. Same goes for his books, which at least carry Graham’s name in a secondary billing, but also aren’t written by Bozell (but Bozell keeps 80-90% of the advance and all profits!)”

Not only does Bozell take advantage of Graham, but apparently there is substantial resentment over that fact.   

Two other people with ties to MRC confirmed that Graham is Bozell’s ghostwriter – and that Graham is not happy with the assignment. 

“Tim just resents having to do it,” says a former employee. 

Graham’s wife, too, is so angry about the arrangement that she refuses to attend Media Research Center events. 

“She hates Bozell,” I’m told. “The forced ghostwriting is the issue,” says an ex-employee. (Laura Haugan Graham did not respond to an email sent Wednesday via Facebook. I also emailed Bozell and Graham for comment on Wednesday, but did not get responses. I called the Media Research Center offices on Wednesday and left a message that wasn’t returned.)

I have to say that this is really not all that surprising as I believe that the majority of crap that is spewed by these so-called Right Wing intellectuals in books and newspaper columns is actually written down by people who paid attention in school and were not angry that all the big words made their head hurt.

Of course they tried to excuse Bozell's use of a ghostwriter by suggesting that President Obama has help writing his speeches.

This is what Pittsburgh Tribune-Review columnist and National Society of Newspaper Columnists president Eric Heyl had to say about that: 

“The argument that the columnist should be allowed to use a ghostwriter because the president has speechwriters is as limp as pasta left overnight in boiling water. The comparison is ludicrous. The columnist doesn’t have to spend much of his time dealing with a dysfunctional Congress or fretting over Iran’s nuclear program.”

Not only that but the President's job is to run the country, a small part of which is to give the occasional speech, Bozell's job is to write this column and a few books. THAT is his job, and he is not even doing it.

Besides I think we all know that if you locked President Obama in room by himself where he was required to write a speech, he would emerge with an incredible one that would probably both inspire you and move you to tears. After all the man can write!

However apparently Bozell, and I believe a great number of these Right Wing "writers," can't. And the credit they receive for being well versed in their subject matter is as phony as one of Sarah Palin's wigs.

Columnist Amy Dickinson provides best response ever to parent asking how to keep her child from being gay.

How do you respond to your child being gay?

Why you love them of course.

Amid charges of plagiarism the the Washington Times essentially fires Rand Paul as a columnist.

Courtesy of the Washington Times:  

The Washington Times said Tuesday that it had independently reviewed Mr. Paul’s columns and op-eds and published a correction to his Sept. 20 column in which the senator had failed to attribute a passage that first appeared in The Week. 

The newspaper and the senator mutually agreed to end his weekly column, which has appeared each Friday since the summer. 

“We expect our columnists to submit original work and to properly attribute material, and we appreciate that the senator and his staff have taken responsibility for an oversight in one column,” Times Editor John Solomon said. 

“We also appreciate the original insights he has shared with our readers over the last few months and look forward to future contributions from Sen. Paul and any other members of Congress who take the time to help educate our readers,” Mr. Solomon said. 

This article also claims that Paul took "personal responsibility" for the plagiarism however THIS is how he supposedly did it: 

Mr. Paul took personal responsibility for the oversights, which he and aides said were caused by staff providing him background materials that were not properly footnoted. 

So the staff did it?

It seems to me that either the Washington Post or Rand Paul do not really understand the consept of personal responsibility.

Bottom line the guy is a habitual plagiarist and there is NO reason to trust him on any of this, or excuse his behaviors and being the fault of overzealous staff members.
