You won’t believe what I saw during a Martha Raddatz interview on ABCs “This Week” show on Sunday…
…is a sentence you will never see me write, because I would never intentionally watch an MSM show on a Sunday. Or any other day.
However, I do follow a lot of conservative websites and podcasters, and they often bring interesting stories that happened on lefty agitprop shows to my attention. So…
You won’t believe an excerpt from a Martha Raddatz show that appeared on Redstate Sunday! Her guest was Lizzie “Grandma Squanto” Warren, and the interview turned into a real “man bites dog” stunner.
Or should I say a real “white guy scalps Indian” story, in this case?
Normally, Raddatz is a typically biased MSM hack. You may remember when Obama’s administration bungled the Benghazi bombing, with then-SecState (shudder) Hillary Clinton as their point person.
She was questioned in congress about how several Americans ended up dead, and why her department was caught so flatfooted, and what they knew of the attacker’s intentions before the killings. Her infamously dismissive retort – “What difference at this point does it make?” – has been cited ever since as a particularly tone-deaf and maladroit performance.
So how did Martha Raddatz write about Hillary’s behavior during that questioning? She praised the Cankled One as “at times combative, charming, disarming and clearly ready for a fight.”
I tried to do a search for “instances in which Hillary Clinton has ever been ‘charming’?” And my computer began to vibrate, and then to smoke and hum. I threw my body over Cassie the Wonder Dog to protect her, just as the computer exploded into a buzzsaw of plastic shrapnel.
I don’t like to use the word “hero” to describe myself (even though members of CO Nation are doing so constantly, and who am I to fly in the face of public opinion?), so I won’t.
But I will say that the world is a much better place with Cassie in it, and that because of me, she didn’t become another victim of Hillary Clinton’s murderous incompetence. So you’re welcome, everybody.
Where was I?
Oh yeah: Martha Raddatz. She didn’t just call the most charmless harpy this side of Maxine Waters “charming,” she also called her “cool.” I’m not kidding. In May of 2012, Raddatz started a story on Clinton with the words, “Let’s face it, Hillary is cool.”
Two years later, she responded to news that Chelsea Clinton was having a baby by saying these words – which I swear I am not making up – to an ABC panel: “Very important question: What do you think Hillary Clinton should be called as a grandma? I say maybe ‘Glam-Ma.’”
Ooh, I guess it’s too late to give you a “may vomit in the back of your mouth” trigger warning. Sorry about that.
Anyway, I’m sure that when Liz Warren sat down with Raddatz for an interview, she was expecting the Native American version of a bunch of softball questions tossed over the middle of the plate. But Raddatz came out loaded for bear.
Or at least for a forked-tongue Pale-Faced Powhatan. (#wemustneverstopmockingher)
Raddatz correctly said that there have been more than 6.9 million apprehensions at the border under Biden, and only 2 million under Trump, and then asked, “What did the president do wrong?”
Warren was clearly caught with her deer-skin loincloth down (#neverstop), and stammered out, “No, this isn’t about what the president did wrong.” Then she launched into the ridiculous talking point that Biden was powerless to close the border because he didn’t have the necessary resources, pointing the finger at Republicans who “blocked [the faux comprehensive immigration “reform” bill], blocked it, blocked it, blocked it.”
Raddatz forcefully cut her off: “But Donald Trump didn’t have that either, Senator. He didn’t have that either, and there were [only] two million during his entire term.”
Lizzie squirmed, wiggled and lied for the rest of the interview, but it was the second most shocking thing I’ve ever seen on ABC’s “This Week.”
The most shocking thing was that for the first time in my life, I’ve seen Elizabeth Warren with an actual red face!
If I had told you that I had a poop-related story today, I bet that you would guess it would involve one of two angles:
1. Oh no, what world leader has our Cadaver in Chief defecated on now?
2. Have things in San Francisco gotten even worse somehow?
But no. I’m bringing you a foreign pooping story from the put-upon citizens of France.
The Olympics are going to be held in Paris this summer, and a swimming marathon and the swimming portion of a triathlon are planned to take place in the Seine. That choice has been controversial, because the Seine is not super-clean. But the French government is spending $1.5 billion to clean it up in time for the games.
Because everything else is going perfectly in France. Jihadi immigrants have not turned whole areas of Paris into no-go zones for police, for example, and French Jews are not being harassed, threatened and attacked there. So why not toss a billion and a half bucks into the river?
Unfortunately, that effort is not going so well, with bacteria and sewage levels in the Seine still being found at “alarming” rates.
So the French people knew just what to do. They might not be very good at some things – minding their own business, standing up to jihadis in their midst (or to Germans on the march) – but they are excellent at one thing: protesting.
Do employers want people to work more than 30 hours per week? Are various unsustainably high government benefits on the chopping block? Is anyone suggesting that shutting down an entire nation for the month of August to allow “workers” to take a break from their brutal, 30-hour work weeks might be un peu too much?
The French will hit the streets!
This time around, though, they’ve gotten more creative. Because they’re mad about the filthiness of their capital city’s river, some French wag created a website and a hashtag to promote a mass protest calling for thousands of French people to literally poop in the Seine.
The protest was supposed to happen on June 23rd, but I haven’t found evidence of how many people showed up. As of Saturday, though, the story was getting huge media coverage, and many Frenchmen were vowing to bare the derriere and drop le deuce to show their politicians what they think of them.
My first thought was to wonder why San Francisco hasn’t filed a copyright violation claim to stop the protest, since they have trademarked fecal-related public events. But I’ll bet that they’re kicking themselves for limiting themselves to only poop-coating streets, parks and businesses, but not bodies of water!
Still, if someone’s not printing up, “I [poop emoji] Seine-France-isco” t-shirts right this minute, they’re leaving money on the table.
On the one hand, I question the wisdom of protesting the poop levels in the Seine by… greatly adding to the poop levels in the Seine.
On the other hand, French president Macron and the mayor of Paris have promised to swim in the Seine before the Olympics start, to prove how clean it is.
And when I think of what our politicians – the Squad, Joey Gaffes and Que Mala, the entire national Democrat party – have been putting us through for the last four years, can I appreciate the karmic opportunity to do to our politicians what they’ve been doing to us?
Can I really smile at the thought of that? Can I?
Well, I am an Ameri-can, aren’t I?
Hamas delenda est!
