On Donald Trump's Mouth, Andrew Sullivan's Diet and The Latin Mass
Here’s the link to the podcast Andrew Sullivan and I did this week. It’s possible that it will only work for those of you who are subscribers to The Weekly Dish…and if you’re not, you must ask yourself: Why have I been remiss in this egregious manner?
Seriously, Andrew’s always worth reading. He is one of the great, independent creative thinkers of our time…and he finds things like this nugget from an old friend, with whom Andrew and I used to joust:
“Those who are determined to be ‘offended’ will discover a provocation somewhere. We cannot possibly adjust enough to please the fanatics, and it is degrading to make the attempt,” - Christopher Hitchens.
The late, great Norman Lear is somewhere chuckling. Because there's NOTHING more American than two old white guys convincing themselves about "how good the Blacks have it".
BTW, Joe, you falsely claimed that Biden's stimulus caused the inflation. Trump’s stimulus was larger than Biden’s. And the inflation was worldwide.
Please explain how Biden’s smaller stimulus caused 9% inflation in the UK, but Trump’s much larger stimulus was harmless?🤔
Pretty good podcast but in light of all the proxy wars started by Iran I don’t think it made much sense to make fun of Netanyahu’s statements about Iran. No they haven’t nuked Israel but you both seem to take this war with Hamas seriously (which is good) so where do you think this came from? The entire mess, Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthi’s have one patron. 4 letters. Begins with I and ends with N. So that was really tone deaf. Like a story you told 6 months ago.
