Carr: Donald feeds crow to PC crowd and Old Gray Lady

11/29/15 Boston Herald
The elites love to hate Donald Trump’s tweets. They parse them, scour them for inaccuracies, or even better, his un-PC musings, after which they unleash yet another barrage of tut-tuts and harrumphs.

And in all the nonprofits across the land, in every building with a doorman and gated community where Beautiful People live off their trust funds in smug, sanctimonious serenity, everyone nods and thinks, “This time, we’ve got him.”

And invariably, this time they don’t, just like all the other times.

Yet somehow this week, the pajama boys gave one Trump broadside a thorough leaving-alone, one he issued about a certain failing broadsheet on the West Side of Manhattan, an unsustainable enterprise in a sustainable building:

“The dopes at the @nytimes bought the Boston Globe for $1.3 billion and sold it for $1.00. Their great old headquarters — gave it away. So dumb.”

Someone call the ombudsman! How dare that nouveau-riche parvenu question the business acumen of Pinch Sulzberger et al.! Talk about being screwed, blued and tattooed — the ever-shrinking Old Gray Lady paid $1.1 billion for the Globe in 1993, then compounded the fiasco by grabbing the Worcester Telegram six years later for $295 million.

Think about that one — $295 million for the Worcester Telegram. Bet you weren’t even aware it was still in business, were you? Well, it is, just barely, under one new owner after another. So for the two dinosaurs, the Times actually spent just under $1.4 billion, then dumped them for $70 million. The papers themselves were worth basically nothing — Trump was right about that, too. The only value was in the Morrissey Boulevard plant new owner John Henry keeps trying to unload on yet a Bigger Fool, and some printing presses in Millbury.

Here are some more of Trump’s descriptions of the Times management during his Twitter blitz:

“Failing … so poorly run … big trouble! ... so dismal … a once great institution … SAD!”

Anyone want to demand a correction?

So this contretemps all started when Trump said Muslims in Jersey City celebrated the genocidal 9/11 attack by their co-religionists. Not true, the grandees and dandies sniffed, until it turned out that multiple newspaper stories and radio reports backed up Trump. So the powers that be had to knuckle the original reporter to issue a correction to his own story — 14 years later.

Trump then made sport of the reporter’s disability — and I’m certainly not going to defend that. But see how far afield we’ve gotten from the original tempest in a teapot. Forget 9/11, Trump is mean to a poor handicapped guy.

Same thing happened last week with the “Muslim registry.” It’s hard to keep these aborted controversies straight, isn’t it? John McCain to Megyn Kelly to Carly Fiorina. ...

Unwisely responding to a gotcha question, Trump answered something about registering Muslims, or maybe about building the wall. It was unclear, but the usual suspects were off to the races. Cue the outraged chorus: “How dare he!”

Former Florida Gov. Juan Ellis Bush was particularly angry, calling any suggestion of a Muslim registry “just wrong.”

Guess what? In 2001, after the terrorist attacks, Juan’s brother set up just such an agency — the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System (NSEER). The Wall Street Journal ran a story about it Friday, complete with a picture from 2003 of a Muslim woman in a head scarf and a poster that said, “Special Registration Tears Families Apart.”

So do terrorist attacks on taxpaying citizens by aliens on welfare. Anyway, the program was eventually ended by George W. Bush, but the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals upheld its constitutionality, describing it as “a plainly rational attempt to enhance national security.”

I guess that makes a Muslim registry “settled law,” as the moonbats call any decision by the federal courts. Any decision they agree with, that is.

Has Juan Ellis Bush issued an apology to his brother for calling him “just wrong?” Has the Times said anything? I think it’s time for another tweet from The Donald:

“SAD.”
