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.

George is an inside the beltway swamprat. They’re a different breed.
George Will is the John McCain of pundits.
I have not been a WF Buckley fan, either. The world is not nearly as complex as he always seemed to make it out to be.
George Will was as much anti-Reagan as he has been anti-Trump.
That’s all you need to know.
Hehehe. He certainly think he is.
Not George Who. George Will Irritate.
LOL. You’re right about that!
This is awesome!
I know...I still grin when I see it...:)
Sounds like an update of the classic photoshop for that!
Stick to baseball, George.

George Will majored in religion at college.
The more you learn about religion, the more
absurd it appears to be. Knowing that, it’s
understandable he ended up where he did.
If you had to go to the dictionary to understand “Donald Trump, with his feral cunning, knew,” you need to do more of it, not less.
Will has not been on TV for quite a while. He craves attention. The best way to get on the MSM radar is to go unhinged against Trump. Look for Will on CNN and MSNBC.
FUGW
George Will better watch out.
Once President Pence opens the “shock the gay away” centers, you never know who might get dragged in...
Will is a nerdiness on steroids. He loves baseball, and he’d make a great home plate.
George Will is under the impression the American people ‘feel’ the same as phony ‘elites’ in Washington DC. They don’t.
Freeper GnuThere said it best: “pretentious twit he is”...
Boiled down George Will is saying Trump’s horrible and crass but too tacky to know it ... Pence has sold his soul praising any right wingers... and he (George Will) is superior to all of them - even the dreadful deplorables.
It’s sad.
There was a time when Will’s desire to prove he was superior to everyone had a charm to it...now it’s devolved into mean-spirited pettiness.
Dreadful.
