"And there you have it: That’s 700 words. Cut my check."

Yep, he writes a full 700 word op-ed mimicking the usual journalistic style about a political challenger -- to Matt Gaetz in this case. And then the fun begins!

He offers some "radical candor" (a B-School term he mocks) about the complete moral and ethical mess our "conservative" party has become.

Damn fine writing, too. Trigger warning! Big Grin

Well that was a fun read! Definitely worth a few minutes. Now I'm going to go stick my head out the window and scream.

Yes, we live in "interesting" times, when a rapist will get over 75m votes, and where 17% of voters polled think Biden was responsible for the end of Roe v. Wade ...

Ugh, I'll have to come back to this later (since I'm not in the mood for a good scream at the moment.... -_-

It's largely the Democrats' self-made nightmare. Biden should have been a one and done with someone stronger put up for this year.

Reminds me of Bin Laden's comments about people preferring the strong horse to the weak horse. In this case weak and weaker, but the comparison stands.

Wait … what’s your logic for blaming the “Gaetz vs. Dimmock” situation on the Democrats?
