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.

HA HA HA HA HA Ha Ha Ha ha ha ha ha.... oh, that was a good one.
Jonah is the Michael Kinsley of the right. A smart guy in whose opinion nobody has any interest.
There really never was a House of Clinton. Dems thought they were big because they won twice something the Dems hadn’t done for a while. But they never topped 50% nationally, they were never actually good at anything, they never really spawned a movement. They were just worshiped as heroes for not losing.
National Review was gunning for Hillary.
They lost
I bet there is some heavy drinking on that cruise
What are you talking about? They attacked Clinton in every issue in the run-up to the election. They didn't back Trump, but they were very anti-Hillary.
Exactly. They didn’t back Trump and therefore they were doing Clinton’s work.
National Review trying to redeem themselves for effectively backing Clinton.
Oh, no you don’t. We will never forget.
I hear her speaking feels are down to $100 + a bottle of Vladimir vodka.
They did not help much. But this is pretty good writing.
I liked:
“There was music to Bill’s lying while Hillary deceived the way Helen Keller played the piano.”
NR is now pretending it supported Trump? I expect the rest of the Never-Trump RINOS will be doing the same, like Romney.
As if the NRO had anything whatsoever to do with it...
Jonah is Trixe’s spawn
I love Jonah. I’ve been reading his articles since I was in college, or soon after (I’m about a year older than he is, iirc), and I think he’s a total cutie-pie.
Hillary will be back in 2020.
Or before that if the little Hubbellett is elected to Congress.
The fall of House NRO?
Jonah’s not really a good editorial writer. Too much ‘him’ in the piece.
Jonah Goldberg did the bidding of the Nazi Soros and his puppet Hillary throughout the primary campaign. Jonah should hoist the red flag of Marxism and move to North Korea.
Honey Badger don’t give a shit about ANYTHING NRO says.
