The Fall of House Clinton
NRO ^ | 19 Nov 2016 | Jonah Goldberg

Posted on 11/19/2016 11:37:53 AM PST by Rummyfan

Last night was the traditional National Review smoker on our splendid post-election cruise. This is an ancient tradition, the origins of which stretch back into the mists before time and the stories of a young solo sailor by the name of William F. Buckley Jr. — sweat, sea water, and shark blood glistening off his chest — who settled in to enjoy a relaxing cigar after killing the great white beast with his bare hands. I bring this up for two reasons. First, to alert the reader that I am feeling a bit hungover from both smoke and spirit alike (so please, stop reading so loudly!); second, because I think I must say goodbye to another great white beast: Bill Clinton — and his remora bride, Hillary. This is a good time to do it. The feeding frenzy atmosphere around the Trump transition is bananas given that there’s so little to say about it. My position on Trump remains unchanged from last week’s G-File: Like Bill Clinton after taking a blood test, I am entirely in wait-and-see mode. Meanwhile, if I wait too long to give the Clintons a send-off, it will seem not only gratuitous — which would be fine, that’s what I’m going for — but also stale. The bad taste of the Clintons lingers on enough, though — like the acidic after-burp from my lunch in Mexico yesterday — that it still seems a bit relevant.

If the Clintons are really gone, it will be no thanks to National Review.

The National Review was boosting the House of Clinton the past several months. Now they are pretending they were for Trump all along. They are a bunch of twats and their site not worthy even of a mouseclick.

Written by the guy who refused to back the candidate able to break the Bush/Clinton dynasties. Go piss up a rope.

With zero thanks to NR. The Criminal Clintoons are now like lepers in our society.

Clinton is trying to cash in, with an early Black Friday offer. So far no one has accepted her 95% off, deal.

She will have to pay to have any audience over 2 people listen to her;

Can we place a ban on National Review links? On any of these RINO publications that tried to stop Trump and backed Clinton. They’re worse than libs, imo - backstabbers.

The Fall of the House of Clinton coincides with the fall of the House of NRO.

They beclowned themselves with their NeverTrump nonsense and should never be taken seriously again by anyone.

Fall? Scuze me, they do not reside in Leavenworth, they remain beloved, and they will walk away from 30 year criminal careers including espionage resulting in multiple deaths with $100 million each? Let me know when the REAL grieving starts.

I hate Joana Goldberg’s guts.

His articles throughout the election season were pure establishment drivel, no doubt the price of a boarding pass on the CINO cruise to no where.

Conservative is as Conservative does, not what conservative writes.

Joana didn’t win anything, there was nothing for him to celebrate. He ran against the Republican candidate and deserves no credit whatsoever. Trump won. We all won no thanks to Joana.

I went up north today to drain the family cabin plumbing for the winter.

It’s the first snow of the year. I parked the car at the small beach of the lake I spent my summers at in the 70s. It was unbelievably beautiful. ...that was my cruise equivalent only I didn’t have to lie to myself.

Piss off National Review. I’ll be happy when your worthless RINO website is out of business.

and his remora bride, Hillary

Okay, I've had my disagreements with Jonah, but that right there was good.

Thanks for the post. Still, if NRO were on fire, I wouldn’t piss on them to put it out.

William Buckley’s National Review is still dead.

Okay, I get that folks are a tad miffed with Jonah and NR (and I note that I cancelled once they unceremoniously dumped the incomparable Mark Steyn), but there is still some hope for a person who can described Billy Clinton as a “priapistic prodigy of prevarication”.
