Cooke is just downright vulgar and an obnoxious know it all. I’ve followed him on twitter and laughed when he was banned for a bit. His gig is to taunt, and yet he points his finger at Trump? Such irony.

I was not aware of Mr. Cooke before reading this piece. It is an attempt at a clever hit piece; but I wrote better hit pieces against anyone who challenged me on the Oberlin campus during my four years there, often when I was in my cups.

A good hit piece must resonate at least in actual truth--it just, of course, picks and chooses what truths to employ. But simply name calling reveals--starkly reveals the amateur. Thus I called him a gobbler with absolute certainty that closer analysis would make the implied figure of speech stand up.

People like Cooke will only impress those who agree with them, but who also fall below the level of intelligence to even appreciate the implied issues involved. Any really intelligent person who might agree with his likes and dislikes, will be embarrassed by further, or closer, examination of his work product.
