Charlie, just a comment to say that it is a pleasure to read such a crisp, witty, incisive writing about such a painful subject. One of the challenges of this insane time is processing the onslaught of nonstop, jaw-dropping outrages, hypocrisies, betrayals, and disappointments. Having someone define, interpret, and condemn those actions is providing a valuable mental health service to people who are exhausted by looking for new words to describe their feelings. Thanks for reminding us about Nikki Haley's debasement of herself and her values.

For too many of our citizens, politics has become a subcategory of entertainment. The outrages, hypocrisies, betrayals, disappointments are titillating! It’s just another version of Reality TV, so boring, solid policy doesn’t get hits. Or votes, apparently. Dysfunction sells.
