Rep. Swalwell, unmasked!

MONDAY, JANUARY 4, 2021

Shamelessness versus starvation: It pains us to say it, but we'll assume that Rep. Eric Swalwell is a good, decent person.

Now for an admission:

It has always seemed to us that, in spite of his obvious decency, Swalwell's picture should be in the dictionary next to the phrase, "callow youth." That said, nothing prepared us for what we were forced to endure last evening.

Swalwell appeared on MSNBC to discuss the possibility of getting Trump locked up in jail. He was wearing a face mask which carried this slogan:

      Good Trouble

"Good Trouble!" That was, of course, the trademark phrase of the late Rep. John Lewis, a man who literally put his life on the line, on the bridge leading out of Selma, in the battle for civil rights.

Last night, there was Rep. Swalwell, appropriating the phrase. You could see the [decency]-eating grin right through the aforementioned mask!

There's simply no end to the shamelessness. Truly, we are horrible people, even when we're decent and good and even when part of our tribe.

The values here in Our Town: Concerning the values of our tribe, we recommend Nicholas Kristof's unusual column in yesterday's New York Times. 

The column concerns the starvation of children around the world. Our question:

What are the chances you'll ever see any such  topic discussed on our team's favorite TV programs? 

We'll hear about Spiro T. Agnew's lunch money. But will we ever hear anything said about anything dimly like that?

You know what they'll be discussing tonight. Is it all entertainment, a con?

Compare and contrast. Take turns and discuss.  In what way is Bill "defunct?"

  1. Somerby isn't even bothering to explain himself any more. Trump belongs in jail because of that phone call and his other crimes while in office. The civil rights tradition belongs to the Democrats and I have no problem with Swalwell honoring Lewis with his face mask.

    Somerby is out of step with liberals and Democrats and he needs to stop pretending to be one, while attacking the left constantly.

    Kristof is a non-sequitur. Somerby is an ass.

    1. Bob's core beliefs, that Republicans are basically just us with a few different outlooks, have taken a HORRIBLE beating of late, like the last four years especially. So yes, he's sort of babbling incoherently

  6. Swalwell is not a callow youth but a party stalwart. It pains Somerby to call him decent because Somerby is not a Democrat, not a liberal, and has acquired the conservative penchant for trying to "own the libs" at every opportunity. He has picked up the hate and now lives just to hurt the left. I'll bet it pains Al Gore to remember that he and Somerby were once roomies. I have trouble picturing them as ever friends.

  7. "It pains us to say it, but we'll assume that Rep. Eric Swalwell is a good, decent person."

    Oh, we do feel your pain, dear Bob; oh yes, bother, we do. Calling a politician, a zombie politician -- nay: a zombie politician from CA! -- good, decent person?

    Now, that's too much; too, too much indeed...

  8. Somerby calls this Representative Swalwell Unmasked, but he wasn't unmasked. It is only Somerby speculation or supposition that he was smiling beneath his mask.

    Somerby says: "You could see the [decency]-eating grin right through the aforementioned mask!"

    Somerby is obviously too decent (or dainty) to say shit-eating and NO, he cannot see through the mask and he does not know whether Swalwell was smiling or not. Somerby just likes accusing Swalwell of eating shit.

    This is just plain dishonest. But Somerby has the nerve to refer to liberal values. What an asshole he has become.

  9. How can Kristof write a column about children dying of starvation in Yemen without talking about the close relationship between Trump and the Saudis?

    There is no moral superiority in ignoring the elephant in that room.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Somerby links to a cheesy poem by e.e. cummings (beloved by sophomore coeds everywhere) that says that even glossy cowboy entertainers die. What can he mean by this?

    Because he segues to this right about talking about Kristof's starving children, is this Somerby's equivalent to Melania's "I don't care, do u?" jacket? Is he saying that everyone dies, so shrug? If so, that is about as offensive as one can get without being Melania herself. There is nothing profound about any e.e. cummings poem, just cuteness, but Somerby's coyly sly dishonesty may revel in disdaining Kristof while he pretends to laud him, all so he can disparage Swalwell.

    This kind of garbage is why I dislike Somerby so much.

    I agree with Swalwell and disagree with Somerby. Donald Trump should be prosecuted for that phone call because Democracy needs to be defended from crooks like him.

  12. Another thing we won't see on our team's favorite TV programs is special report honoring Norman Borlaug. Borlaug did by far the most of any human being to alleviate starvation. However, he didn't accomplish this goal by means of methods espoused by liberals, so he is a forgotten hero.

    1. This isn't true, as described in this New Republic article about the willingness of progressive publications to examine issues related to genetic engineering:

      https://newrepublic.com/article/116104/genetically-modified-food-and-liberalism-and-conservatism

      Borlaug won the Nobel Peace Prize. He isn't opposed by everyone on the left, just a subset of progressives with concerns about genetic modification of food. Those who are more in touch with the science are not opposed and recognize Borlaug's contribution.

      But your larger contention that the left media wouldn't examine this issue appears to be wrong.

  13. Here is Ted Lieu on Trump's actions:

    "LIEU: “What I do know is that the Georgia state code is very clear. It is a crime to solicit election fraud, and that’s what Donald Trump did over and over again on this one-hour phone call with the Georgia secretary of state.”

    MOHYELDIN: “Yes, so tell us a little bit more about why you and Congresswoman Kathleen Rice of New York decided to refer this to FBI Director Christopher Wray. Have you had any response so far from the FBI that you can share with us?”

    LIEU: “Sure, so Congresswoman Rice and I are both former prosecutors, and when we heard that phone call it was very clear to us that crimes had been committed on that call. Specifically under 52 U.S.C. Section 20511, you cannot knowingly and willingly essentially attempt election fraud, and that’s what Donald Trump did when he told the Georgia secretary of state to go find 11,780 votes. That’s a very specific number. That’s one more than he needs to win the state of Georgia. He also told the Georgia secretary of state to recalculate the votes, and both of those statements would constitute an attempt at election fraud.”"

  14. Somerby should change his blog’s name to the “Daily Moral Scold.”

    But even his moral outrage makes no sense. In what way was Swalwell’s use of Lewis’ quote “shameless?” Is Somerby trying to imply that only people who risk their lives are allowed to quote it? That isn’t the spirit in which Lewis intended it. He said:

    “Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and help redeem the soul of America.”

    He said that in March of 2020. He also tweeted it in 2018:
    “Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble."

    He said it as an encouragement to the present generation.

    Also, lest he pretend that Lewis was willing to let Trump slide, perhaps Somerby should remember that Lewis voted to impeach Trump. On that occasion, Lewis said:

    “When you see something that is not right, not just, not fair, you have a moral obligation to say something. To do something. Our children and their children will ask us, ‘What did you do? What did you say?’ For some, this vote may be hard. But we have a mission and a mandate to be on the right side of history.”

    I guess Lewis just wanted to put The Others in jail. Yay!

    Somerby’s newest incarnation as the ghost of Father Coughlin is extremely unappealing. As if holding Trump accountable for his actions is somehow a sign of moral depravity or shamelessness, like “our” movies, is frankly nutty. And maybe Somerby should quit shamelessly appropriating the moral stature of Lewis for his own purposes without recognizing the true meaning of Lewis’ words and values.
