Mark the week
After a week of unusual awfulness, some folks are scurrying about trying to clean the Augean stable after the horses have bolted, which is the kind of metaphorical mishmash I've been reduced to.
Fox Business News, Fox's News's more presentable little brother, announced it will not re-broadcast a segment of "Dobbs Gone Wild," or whatever it's called, with Chris Farrell of Judicial Watch. Farrell suggested that the "Soros-infiltrated State Department" was responsible for the caravan of scary people advancing on our sacred border. He also employed the dog-whistle term ZOG, which every nationalist knows stands for "Zionist-occupied government" (Zionists are only fine people when naming streets after Trump). But it already aired on October 25, two days before the attack on Tree of Life Synagogue, so, sorry.
Lou Dobbs is still on the air (or cable, if you like), but Megyn Kelly is not, a direct result of her defense of wearing blackface for Halloween. NBC was shocked to discover that Kelly, who asserted on her previous channel (Fox of course) that Jesus and Santa Claus are "white men," seems to be a tad racist. If only someone had done research before giving her a contract worth $69 million. How could they have known?
Steve Stivers, Ohio Congressman and head of the National Republican Congressional Campaign, was offended that Chuck Todd would even question their ad linking Soros to "Wall Street bankers." "Our independent expenditure arm is independent," he added, because he speaks fluent redundancy with a Trump accent. Todd did not ask what they plan to do when Soros dies. Or maybe the "globalists" have discovered the secret of eternal life. (Tree of Life! Wake up, sheeple!)
Earlier this week Kevin (not the actor) McCarthy sent a Tweet with a picture of Soros and references to Michael Bloomberg and Tom Steyer, two other billionaires who contribute to the Democrats and just happen to be Jewish, urging his readers to vote so they can't "buy the election." Today he's all sweetness and light about tolerance and stuff, complete with a biblical citation. When interviewed, however, he couldn't help complaining that someone had thrown a "boulder" through the window of his Bakersfield, California, office and stolen office equipment, clearly the work of leftists and not some random junkies in search of stuff to sell. If you can't quite place Kevin (not Charlie) McCarthy, he's the House Majority Leader, a meaningless title because Paul Ryan is the real leader.
The Tireless Trump got past the unpleasantness in Pittsburgh quickly, haranguing two hate rallies in the Midwest and still finding time to offer expert advice on baseball. Like everyone else who was paying attention, he was amazed by Dave Roberts's decision to lift Rich Hill after six-and-a-third scoreless innings in Game Four of the World Series. I'm sure a white manager would have received a public scolding, too. Aren't you sure? Sure.
In Pittsburgh, Mayor Bill Perduto suggested it might be a good idea to "take the guns...out of the hands of those that are looking to express hatred through murder." For this mild statement, he can expect a denunciation from the NRA and a Trump tweet making fun of his beard.
And yes, it's very poignant, but if one more Bright Young Thing points out that Fred Rogers used to live near the synagogue and describes it as "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood," I will find you and I will make you watch all three Taken movies.
