The tuckered-out performance of Robert Mueller in Congress last week had President Trump in full gloat.
Democrats were hoping for Eliot Ness. Instead, Robert Mueller was their Grandpa Simpson — feeble, forgetful, confused. Far from hurling thunderbolts at the White House, he seemed like a guy who would need to pause for a few seconds if called upon to distinguish his ass from his elbow. As James Freeman, resident wit of The Wall Street Journal, asked, “Did Robert Mueller read the Mueller Report?”
Hopes could hardly have been higher for Mueller, the mighty matinee idol of justice who was going to rid the nation of Donald Trump. If Trump somehow was able to cancel the coronation of Queen Pantsuit, it must have been a crime and it had to be punished.
How short of expectations did Mueller fall? His appearance was the Al Capone’s Vault of political news.
Just a few months ago this is how liberals saw him: “Bob Mueller may as well have been Elijah, the prophet for whom Jews reserve an empty chair and cup, whose coming symbolizes the answers to all the world’s remaining questions,” read a dispatch from the Washington dinner-party scene in the Washingtonian. Vogue called him “America’s newest crush.” Portland Monthly said “the hottest gift this holiday season” was a Robert Mueller devotional candle. Old people lamented, with their dying breaths, that the thing they really minded was not getting to hear from Mueller.
Putting Mueller on the stand was the equivalent of Nadler suddenly putting his pants on the table, under the mistaken impression that it was now a game of strip poker.
Democrats and the media were famished, and wanted a feast. They got a rice cake.
Democratic-media complex, know when you’ve been owned.

IMO this doesn’t breach the rape-hoax low. That was a mark they are not going to break easily, not because they aren’t trying, but because it just doesn’t get much lower than that.
The Dimocratz have created so many low moments for themselves, vs. Clarence Thomas, vs. Judge Bork, vs. Judge Kavanaugh, vs. Trump, vs. Bush the younger, vs. RNR, how can one honestly rate them? Kind of like asking who’s the greatest baseball player of all time? Who do you omit?
Make me blow wine out my nose.
I’ve heard that Plumbum is a sovereign cure for that particular delusion...
LOL - great line...
He was acting.
I will take "well coached" for $100 Alex.
As bad as the Kavanaugh hearings.
