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.

Jonah is neither entertaining or relevant.
His income is going to take a hit.
Went to the website mainly to gloat. Promptly got an offer for get this-a free year via email! I turned it down and explained exactly why.
I’ve had my fill of scumbags, no matter what ‘party’ they claim.
I know that but it doesn’t matter.
Although he’s picked up some vocabulary and cutesy wording, he lacks in more important areas such as seriousness, command presence, spiritual gravitas.
He’s a George Will effete blob in the making. He’s a Trixe kid with a pen. He needs to grow up.
He showed his immaturity and adherence to the DC echo chamber during the ascension of DJT.
Seriously, he should report for work for example to an ocean fishing vessel where he has an opportunity to show the hair on his chest stand for something and where he has to grapple with ways to avoid getting his ass kicked by roughnecks. That would go a long way in making a man out of him. The beard ain’t doing it for him.
As it stands he’s an effete worm with a word twist here and there, a George Will wannabe. He won’t be remembered for anything.
