People defending Trump sound like a third grader confronted by a teacher on the playground about throwing a rock.

A little off-topic but this is from Rick Perlstein’s excellent analysis of the press in the past election https://washingtonspectator.org/press-trump-perlstein/: “But when columnist Richard Cohen reported that Trump said to someone Cohen knew, about then-13-year-old Ivanka, “Is it wrong to be more sexually attracted to your own daughter than your wife?”, the words, which appeared in an advance draft circulated for publication, were excised in the published version.” These are the “president-elect’s” thoughts about his then-13-year old daughter. And the WaPo decided the public did not need to hear them…

Kellyanne Conway, the Minister of Spin. Gotta admit, she is good at it. Wonder if it will work against Putin, Erdogan, ISIS, Al Qaeda, etc. LOL

Explanations for the Fox Impaired listener.

How do you parody that stuff.
I guess SNL will have to resort to just reading the actual dialogue as Tina Fey did with Sarah Palin

I think the analogy might be a tad more accurate if Obama had chosen to pursue a professional golf career while he was, umm, presidenting.

Let me guess - no one in the media called out Conway for making such an asinine comparison that calling it “apples to oragnes” is an insult to apples and oranges.

But - what am I thinking? Calling out Conway’s logical fallacy would require that someone in the media even recognized it as a fallacy. The media has given little no reason to believe they are capable of that level of thought.

Bat. Shit. Crazy.



On a recent afternoon, spooning chilled pea soup at a French restaurant near Times Square, Conway, 49, hints how she’ll tackle this challenge. You can’t just tell Trump what to do, she said. You have to give him options.

She illustrates the point with a story about her 11-year-old daughter.

When Claudia emerged from her room on Memorial Day sporting turquoise, Conway asked her to change into blue.”She goes, ‘Turquoise is blue.’ And it is. But it wasn’t a shade available to Betsy Ross when she stayed up through the night sewing the damn flag.”

She chose not to argue with the preteen, which would have delayed their morning. Instead she laid out four Betsy Ross blue choices on her bed. “Minutes later,” she says, “she came out in one of those shades.”

He must have been. Otherwise, the comparison is not valid, right? Oh, silly me. For a moment it looked like I actually expected validity in a media discussion. My bad.
