Anti-Trumper and Slow-Joe booster, George Will, is feeling a little uncomfortable these days as a result of Biden's numerous mistakes, gaffes, policy disasters, etc. Of course, it's not all Biden's fault:
"It is political malpractice for them [his aides] to put him in situations that require skills that he — always garrulous, rarely fluent — has never possessed.”So, the biggest vote-getter in presidential history needs an army of minders and nannies and stunt-people to help him perform the basic duties of office? Yeah, that will certainly right the ship of state.
George Will believes a “politically buoyant” Joe Biden could be “remembered fondly as the bridge to a better politics.” The best writer, any subject, and dean of conservative journalists*, has moved from Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) to Biden Derangement Syndrome (BDS), the belief that the addled Joe Biden could be an exemplary president.
* The author of the linked article, Lloyd Billingsley, is being ironic; I point this out in case you don't read the whole editorial, which provides the proper context.
One of the most noticeable characteristics of the intellectual poseurs who constitute the Guild of Conservative Grifters is their utter inability to admit how badly they misjudged Trump - in everything, from his popularity to his electability to his seriousness as a genuine reformer. Another great blot on their performance as pundits is the extent to which they completely failed to see not only Biden's obvious cognitive decline, but his lifelong mediocrity and corruption, and his malleability in the hands of the cabal of radicals who advise him. The Wills and the Goldbergs and the Kristols of Conservative, Inc. deserve to be ousted from the public arena of ideas - above all, because their judgment has proved to be astoundingly wrong-headed (when not actually set aside altogether in order that they might prostitute themselves to the dispensers of mammon).
Ignore them. They'll go away.
ReplyDeleteAh, no, they won't. But you'll be less annoyed.
George Will is the consummate deck chair rearranged.
