people who have freaked on trump for ragging mika apparently haven't noticed that she, like many others in the msm, has been hurling brutal but unimaginative and profoundly repetitive personal insults at trump for many months. (that's my splce column this week.) they have become what they purport to repudiate, except they aren't terribly good at it. here's cnn's ana navarro: “Listen, you crazy, lunatic, 70-year-old man-baby, stop it. You are now the president of the United States, the commander-in-chief, and you need to stop acting like a mean girl, because we just won’t take it.” that's part of her call for a return to civility. i'd be firing back too. cnn gets body-slammed, then 'just keeps doing our job,' half of which is actually reporting, the other half just a string of personal attacks on the man's sanity and so on. also, as the navarro shows, or mika's obsession with hand size, the attacks are relentlessly feminizing, showing that their emitters do regard it as degrading to be female. i'm surprised they haven't started in on 'he's so gay,' or tried racial slurs.

in their attempts to grapple with trump, they have become trump, without the flair or competence in ridicule. but even ana navarro or mika brzezinski are responsible for the things they themselves say. the defense will be the tried and true and infantile 'he started it.' p.s. that wwe vid is pretty darn funny. come back with little hands again, i guess, if that's all you've got.
