Requiem For A Judas

Yeah yeah yeah and Benedict Arnold should be remembered as a great American general who bravely served our country.

The media LOVE Republicans. More specifically, they LOVE Republicans who lose. They LOVE Republicans who betray.  They LOVE Republicans who badmouth the base of their party. They LOVE Republicans who stand on principle, especially a principle shared with the Demomedia Complex.

McCain betrayed us in Syria.
McCain betrayed us on health care (and laughed in our faces while doing so,)
McCain betrayed us on Spygate.

Remember the death of Gerald Ford? The media were generous with their seemingly endless praise.
Ford was not a traitor. He was a good man. Why then, the boatload of accolades?

1. Ford lost to Jimmy Carter.
2. Ford was NOT Ronald Reagan.

We can argue if that was one or two Cupid arrows. Had Ford been a little more Reaganesque he might not have been challenged by the real RR and he might have defeated Mr. Peanut.

The racist, baby-killing war monger would find reincarnation of his maverick status in his overt and covert attacks on Donald Trump, Trump supporters and the Trump agenda. It is hard for me to find kind words for the Senator but out of respect for the departed, I recycle the highest praise ever heaped upon the man.

In the spirit of Clarence Darrow reminding us of the sparkling qualities of Leopold and Loeb or perhaps more like the backlot huckster pointing out that if you keep the slightly-rusted beater on he road for four years, you will have a classic on your hands, I turn this eulogy over to one of the greatest orators of our times.

HIGH PRAISE AT HIS HIGH WATER MARK
