From the ridiculous to the sublime!
You dodged a bullet there, kid. You have no idea the regret you’d have been filled with by the time of your first Ted Cruz event - those people are freaks.
This is why 13-year-olds should not be asked for political advice. No life experience, so he veers from one stance to its polar opposite. Never mind that he’s now in the right frame of mind, from the persective of most of the posters here. The fact remains that he’s just a kid. His only viral videos should involve radical skateboard maneuvers.
His 15 minutes were up long ago. Slow news day?
Confused 13 year old remains confused 13 year old. Story at 11.
Non-news…other than for the gloating schadenfreude factor haha
And yet i still do not care.
Josh - I read your piece about “The Crazy - It’s What We Do At TPM!” I get it . Really. However, I don’t see how this story fits anyones need to know anything. Take a cue from some of the better librul blogs and run a nice cute fuzzy animal story next time.
This is an example of whats wrong with America today - we have 13 year-olds using optics in conversation!
Its interesting (or maybe not) to note that Mussolini was a radical Socialist who switched his stance almost over night to a virulent Fascist.
Shocked he didn’t come out as Libertarian–that’s the usual path.
Good for him! Stay informed and be a responsible adult!
When I was this kid’s age, I believed that my political opinions deserved respect from adults.
I was wrong.
He just wants to get a second fifteen minutes of fame. Pretty soon, he’ll renounce Bernie and throw his support to Brittney Spears. That’s raise eyebrows in the press, and it’s all abut raising eyebrows in the press.
This is a kid who pretty obviously is still trying to figure out which way is up.
stupid brat! you’re way over your head;
Bravo to most folks here for a more generous and understanding response than I was about to post. I was mildly irritated to hear this, uh, young person talking as if anyone much cared what he thought, like he’s Walter Cronkite or Jenny McCarthy or someone else of stature and influence. I felt like telling him to shut up and do his homework, actually, but you folks took care of it in a better way so thanks.
I still wish he’d go away.
That’s adorable, yet immaterial.
Oh look. A kid I didn’t give a shit about before is saying something different and I still don’t give a shit.
Whee!
But what do Jindal’s kids think?
If it’s a puppy story I’m on board, and so I’m hopeful Josh will cover the Puppy Bowl on Super Bowl Sunday, February 7
