Trump Names Hugh Hewitt Buddy, Biz Associate As New National Security Adviser | Talking Points Memo

[leftcoaster]

OT: Lindsey is falling out of favor? And exactly what dastardly things is Trump talking about?

Kaitlan Collins (kaitlancollins)

[daveyjones64]

And smashed through the window of a methadone clinic.

Meth lab. It has to be a meth lab.

[daveyjones64]

He was first nominated by W. He served in the State Dept under Obama. He was a consultant for both Romney and Scott Walker.

With that pedigree, he won’t last 3 months under Trump in this position.

[thunderclapnewman]

I don’t believe that there is anyone called Hugh Hewitt. He’s a character in Batman–the somewhat shady city councilman, who may be allied with the Joker.

Hugh Hewitt is the Mark Levin of Michael Savages.

[irasdad]

I would’ve said Hugh Hewitt is the Morton Downey Jr. of Wally Georges.

But, hey…tomayto, tomahto.

(G-d, I’m old.)

[dickweed]

And an idiot, oh wait you already said that!

[dickweed]

Jesus we’re going to be damn lucky if we make it through this presidency as a country!

[gizmolatch]

“Acting” National Security Advisor.

[rucleare]

In what way is this creature qualified to be the NSA?

Because he’s a lawyer?

Because he’s suck buddy with Hewitt?

Because he was on teevee?

Jeebus. I’m thinking Trump is more like Wormtongue after getting exposed, only stupider.

All of the above.

[lastroth]

Perhaps the difference is that O’Brien is still “hungry”

So are you saying that the thing under Bolton’s nose was not this?

[susanintheoc]

The daily shit storm is getting old. Make it stop somebody.

[WayOutWest]

I just googled Bob Dornan and he’s 86 and still batshit crazy

[susanintheoc]

Fun fact. Robert Dornan had a small role as a pilot in an old film which the bots on MS 3000 made fun of.
I think he was referred to as B52 Bob.

[WayOutWest]

Yeah his er-filmography popped up on Google

[jacksonhts]

Before that he was a Ronald Reagan cultist. @greylady- you need to skim a few Marc Thiessen Op Ed columns in the WaPo, they are as good as Hewitt’s for comic relief.

I consider Theissen the King of the Post’s trumpists. Another writer that often succeeds in raising my blood pressure is Samuelson - their trickle-down economist that writes about how converting employer health care benefits into a individual voucher program would ‘benefit’ employees, how Boomers should accept major cuts to Social Security to ‘spare’ the millennials from higher taxes, or how the minimum wage is fine as-is.

[dommyluc]

You mean someone actually benefitted from being a BFF of a POS like Hugh Hewitt?

I guess the hairy palms gave him away.

[DuckmanGR]

Does this creature have security clearences to be the NSA?

Does he know what NSA stands for?

Does… ah eff it, we’re just screwed.

[jacksonhts]

There are a whole group of women and men columnists I cannot read. Samuelson is included, and I figure he cannot be the author of the Econ textbook in use during the 60s-70s. George Will too. Jennifer Rubin has won me over. Max Boot not yet. George Will is of the same Reagan worship harvest as Hugh Hewitt.

[cervantes]

He’s as qualified as some high school boy.

But not every high-school boy.
