Why wouldn't she be upset? Why is it important? The government is being gutted by right-wing extremists. Who cares about why she's upset? The most obvious observation in the world. I'm not saying you are saying those things but just don't understand why anybody would think about that for more than 4 seconds.

They subject him to blackmail, which can affect how he governs. They suggest he may be distracted from governing. They indicate his lack of character. They are legitimate reporting, without suggesting that whoever writes about it is himself sexually frustrated and only focusing on sex due to personal perversion, hence "blue balled". Somerby is being ridiculous about this.<br /><br />The public also has the right to know whether exceptions to immigration policies were made for Melania and her parents. This is legitimate because the president has made an issue of it by directing ICE to make no exceptions in its aggressive deportations of immigrants with similar status to Melania (when she arrived) and her parents. Our country's policy should be equal application of the law, not one standard for the powerful and another for the powerless. This matters to readers and voters.<br /><br />Somerby thinks Milbank should have chosen something more substantial to write about. The same criticism applies to Somerby. Why, out of all the issues liberals care about, does Somerby return again and again to defending Trump, Woody Allen, Moore, and their brethren?<br /><br />Today, Somerby should be defending his failure to indict Sanders and Stein when the Russians were busily shoving them down liberal throats. He should be explaining why he participated in the take down of Clinton, aligning himself with the Soviet-Republican conspiracy to steal the presidency. Instead, he adopts Trump's tactic of shouting -- Look over there!
