If you listen to the Breitbart radio show in the morning it is a Renaissance Fair of self pity and victim hood. If you think about it, the whole Trump presidency is about how he’s victimized by somebody or other.

Of course Moore blames liberals for his failure. Ever seen a Republican take responsibility for any failure ever? Me neither.

Though it’ll take awhile, I can find the Rampell stuff (where she literally lists why he shouldn’t be on the Fed).

During a radio interview on the conservative America First radio show — hosted by drooling NAZI Sebastian Gorka — Dumb Shit Stephen Moore didn’t mince his words on the “stupid and evil” liberals who, according to him, cost him his chance at a highly lucrative seat on the Federal Reserve Board.
TFIFY.

thanks, moore, your words are a balm to my troubled spirit. I feel like I’ve been doing something right as a stupid and evil liberal if I’ve helped upset you so.

Maybe instead of an elephant, the mascot of the Republicans should be an Ouroboros.

Quoting your words back at you is not “Character assassination.”
If there is any deathly metaphor here, it’s character suicide.

I guess that being completely and totally unqualified had nothing to do with it.

Elvis Costello wrote a song about Stephen Moore back in the 80s.

Not his fault. He was done in by the deep state and the fake news. Same old same old.

I thought Trump was sent by God.
Now let’s hear him say it in a halter top.

For a party that’s supposed to be all about personal responsibility, they never take personal responsibility…for anything…

Stephen Moore Blames ‘Stupid And Evil’ Liberals For Failed Fed Bid
There are no mirrors in Moore’s house.

Oh, please. There were dozens of columns opposing his nomination based on his track record and his own statements. They came from the Hoover Institute all the way to the Washington Post op-ed pages and Paul Krugman at the NYT. He was criticized for making false claims for years in op-eds; he was criticized for calling for a return to the gold standard (something he denied, only to be confronted with video of him saying it, and he then went back to denying it). He was criticized for being ignorant about economics (not knowing what the “Volker Rule” is, and then falsely claiming Volker pegged interest rates to commodities). He was criticized for having called for tighter monetary policy right after the Great Recession, and not acknowledging he was wrong in claiming it would cause inflation. he was criticized for calling for looser policy now. He was criticized for not knowing what the Fed did or how it does it (by Moore’s own admission), despite having called for all of them to be fired. He was criticized because the column that got him the nomination was based on two falsehoods. In short, he was roundly criticized, by economists throughout the entire ideological spectrum, as being woefully unqualified and a hack, with wrongheaded ideas and a track record of falsehoods.
What’s really amazing is that none of this seemed to matter to Republican Senators. Not a single one came out against his potential nomination when it was all about his credentials and track record. In fact, Pat Toomey came out saying that if Moore was so roundly criticized, then that was an argument in his favor.
In short, not a single Republican Senator cared at all about the fact that there was a dishonest incompetent ignoramus who was being nominated. It wasn’t until his writings on women, child labor laws, the fact that he owed back taxes, had been held in contempt of court for not paying child support or alimony, that republican senators started stepping away from him.
There is a scandal associated with this. The scandal is that Republicans just didn’t care that the guy was a dishonest ignoramus, until they thought it would look bad to support him because of his personality. In that sense, Moore is partially right. But to claim that nobody engaged with his ideas… that’s just more dishonesty from him. Par for the course as far as he is concerned, though.

I’m reminded of that Mash episode where Major Winchester complains of not getting the girl because Hawkeye “assassinated his character”. Trapper John: “What did you do?” Hawkeye: “I let him talk”.

The worst part for Moore is he shaved off a prized yet ugly mustache for the job interview.
