Looking for an Argument
Steyn Online ^ | 12 Nov 2024 | Mark Steyn

Donald Trump is now an heroic figure. He fought a brilliant campaign, amazingly good-humoured considering he was up against a sick American state determined to gaol him and, failing that, shoot him. In return, the dying New York Times said he had won with a "dark" and "disturbing" campaign - because nothing says dark and disturbing like serving fries at the drive-thru window and tootling around in a garbage truck.

I am so bored by the bollocks. But bollocks is all there is. Do you watch Joy Reid? Nah, me neither. But, in the days when I used to host the Tucker warm-up slot at Fox, I used to feel bad about clobbering her in the ratings night after night, because I thought she was quite cute with her old haircut (not the one she's got now).

If that sounds shallow, well, what am I meant to say? She's spent the last week hailing Kamala for her "flawless" campaign - even though she, er, lost. And, when asked to produce evidence of this "flawlessness", Miss Reid cites her ability to corral all the A-list celebs from Taylor Swift to Beyoncé. Alas, my eminent compatriot Alanis Morrissette was obliged to cancell her endorsement because the Harris campaign blew through so much dough on celebs that it developed an unfortunate cash-flow problem:

Canadian Alanis Morissette had to cancel giving her support to Kamala Harris because the check would not clear.
Isn’t that ironic.

Refreshing to find out that a lot of these ‘liberals’ are actually capitalists at heart.

Actually Dem campaigns are examples of how they govern: no matter how much they raise they spend more....

Alanis Morrissette, or more likely her agency, was smart enough to demand the money up front. I don’t think they work for IOUs.

That’ll be one pound for a five minute argument, but it’ll be eight pounds for ten minutes.
