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 Will is exhibiting end-stage Trump Derangement Syndrome. Not pretty. The sudden worsening of his symptoms no doubt brought on by the pending death of his husband, McCain. The death of a spouse can be an extremely stressful time.
A small man with a big thesaurus.
Dear Mr. Will:
ASAP, follow John McCain to where he is going.
One might expect that George’s acute case of redbutt to have eased some in the 15 months since POTUS took office. But no. It rages all the more.
Indeed.
Will is now passing “irrelevant” and no moving into “pathetic” territory.
The liberal angst is getting worse.
George Will is a beta male, who’s favorite word is “unseemly.” The quiet skinny kid in school sitting near the front, but still hiding behind someone.
Always afraid, and bigger kids could smell it on him. The recipient of many spit wads. Never fighting back, just a shy, half smile, hoping they would find someone else if he didn’t fight back.
Took many a wedgie.
He has lost his mind, what little of it he ever actually possessed....................
Charles Blow is no longer the worst columnist in America, George Will is.
The article posted from Noam Chomsky has the same theme.
They can now sit together in class.
George Will, part of the Blue Wave.
Pretentious pond scum
This article is unreadable to me. If he had a real point to make, I couldn’t get to the end of the article to find it.
On the bright side, not one tedious baseball analogy in this piece. That is progress.
Fake conservative Will, at it again!

George Will has become a nasty, hate-filled man. Maybe he always was. He has always opposed the right to keep and bear arms, which means he was never a Constitutionalist. But this is just mean-spirited.
In other words...a Bully Magnet!
George Will is an arrogant little prick who spent his youth having his lunch money stolen, and his underwear pulled over his head. He has spent his entire “adulthood” getting “revenge” with a pen and a typewriter. Real tough-guy stuff.
He has always been a condescending elitist jerk. I doubt if he has ever worked a real job or produced anything of value in his worthless life. And I’d be willing to bet his hands have never been used for anything other than stroking his own....ego.
