George Will: Trump is no longer the worst person in government (Pence is)
Washington Compost ^ | May 9, 2018 | George Will

Posted on 05/10/2018 6:25:08 AM PDT by EdnaMode

Donald Trump, with his feral cunning, knew. The oleaginous Mike Pence, with his talent for toadyism and appetite for obsequiousness, could, Trump knew, become America’s most repulsive public figure. And Pence, who has reached this pinnacle by dethroning his benefactor, is augmenting the public stock of useful knowledge. Because his is the authentic voice of today’s lickspittle Republican Party, he clarifies this year’s elections: Vote Republican to ratify groveling as governing.

Last June, a Trump Cabinet meeting featured testimonials offered to Dear Leader by his forelock-tugging colleagues. His chief of staff, Reince Priebus, caught the spirit of the worship service by thanking Trump for the “blessing” of being allowed to serve him. The hosannas poured forth from around the table, unredeemed by even a scintilla of insincerity. Priebus was soon deprived of his blessing, as was Tom Price. Before Price’s ecstasy of public service was truncated because of his incontinent enthusiasm for charter flights, he was the secretary of health and human services who at the Cabinet meeting said, “I can’t thank you enough for the privileges you’ve given me.” The vice president chimed in but saved his best riff for a December Cabinet meeting when, as The Post’s Aaron Blake calculated, Pence praised Trump once every 12 seconds for three minutes: “I’m deeply humbled. . . . ” Judging by the number of times Pence announces himself “humbled,” he might seem proud of his humility, but that is impossible because he is conspicuously devout and pride is a sin.

Between those two Cabinet meetings, Pence and his retinue flew to Indiana for the purpose of walking out of an Indianapolis Colts football game, thereby demonstrating that football players kneeling during the national anthem are intolerable to someone of Pence’s refined sense of right and wrong.

He turned into a dope supporting libertarian years ago. He hates anyone that believes in a higher power. He’s still pissed that his old boss and real conservative WF Buckley actually believed in God and took atheists to tasks many times, including Will.

He insists on pretending to be smart using seldom used vocabulary - it’s unreadable/unintelligable - what a toad.

George Will, channeling his inner Keith Olbermann I see.

George is a swamprat.

And a disgrace to swamprats everywhere. We don't claim him, and he's not welcome at our reunions. ;-)

The idea of George Will describing anyone else as a toady is hilarious.

I wasn’t aware that Will was still alive. I thought he must have died when his head exploded on election night.

Collusion to scheme for dem propaganda.

McCain can teach Pence about honor? When he is the one who gave the fake dossier to comey?

Maybe George is sick, too.

George Will didn’t jump the shark, he’s straddling it, which feels good because of the 5 ‘ long stick he has insisted on keeping up his ass for 40 years.

Been hanging out with Thurston Howell III again, I see. Pretending to be relevant. Listen Will, get on the Trump Train or get left behind.

Perfect description.

And his sexual fantasies are all about being anally penetrated. Though he doesn’t have the guts to head for the bathhouse.

People like you are EXACTLY why we got Trump - because your elitist snobbery, coupled with your obvious need to be part of the so-called ruling class, made you AND most Republican office holders into objects of hatred and contempt because you all lied to us in order to get what you REALLY wanted - power, money and recognition.

Oh my gosh, your entire post is so good. Right on. Here is your money line above.

It’s the Trump Effect. They all eventually go mad.
