…Until the Next Thing Jonah Goldberg Writes

Via alicublog, here’s Jonah Goldberg claiming the real problem with our politics today is…Stephen Colbert’s potty-mouth.

Suffice it to say that if you want to condemn a president for his incivility, you squander some credibility when you describe the president of the United States in a lewd act with a foreign dictator.

As I said at alicublog, this argument is off-the-charts disingenuous because I don’t want to criticize Trump for his incivility. I want to criticize him for being a misogynist, racist, xenophobic, stupid, incurious, petty, egotistical toddler-monster who poses an existential threat to democracy.

Again and again I’m reminded that we are living in a post-parody age.
