More on the nickname the droogs have been pushing!

FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 2024

A point we should have made clear: After one echocardiogram and six biopsies, we returned to our sprawling campus eager to add a key point.

We'll also describe our reaction as we watched yesterday's edition of The Five.

First, this:

In this morning's report, we commented on a blockquote in Kevin Drum's latest post. The blockquote in question is no longer a blockquote. Apparently, the assessment was simply Kevin's own work. After a lot of earlier googling, we don't know if his various statements are accurate.

Here's that key additional point about the nickname the droogs have been pushing all over the Fox News Channel:

As told by Gutfeld and Watters and them—with help from the unending stream of reliables—the attack in question turns on the claim that the state law passed by Governor Walz says that tampons must be placed in all boys' bathrooms in Minnesota public schools.

Is that claim accurate? After a fair amount of googling, we can't say that the basic facts of this matter are clear. But that's the foundation of the attack—an attack which recalls the attacks which took down Candidate Dukakis in 1988 and one or two (or maybe three) other nominees after that.

Ugly, stupid attacks can be very successful! As Mark Twain didn't quite say, an attack can get halfway around the world before the mainstream press corps starts to get its boots on.

(In the case of one or two of those previous candidates, the mainstream press was the principal agent of the endless attacks. The liberal world just sat there and took it, secure in the inaccurate belief that the mainstream press was competent and was our friend.)

Concerning The Five:

Last evening, we turned on The Five in the middle of its second segment. We haven't had a chance to watch the whole show yet.

We watched the usual belly-achers whine and complain and heap pity on themselves all through that gruesome, stupid segment. We imagined sitting some young people down and delivering some good sound advice:

Whatever your political views may turn out to be, don't ever end up like them!

We think it's time to start saying their names. Also, we think it's time for major mainstream news orgs to start describing the things they do—to start describing the ways they behave on a nightly basis.

A final aside:

A few hours ago, our men's relay team dropped the baton—again! Obviously, they're all superlative athletes—but how very Blue American!

These idiots never drop the baton: Yesterday's lineup went like this:

Greg Gutfeld, Jesse Watters, Judge Jeanine, Katie Pavlich

These idiots never drop the baton! They're paid by Fox for their perfect teamwork, and their perfect teamwork rarely exhibits a flaw.
