“He was once one of the leaders of the Lincoln Project, which paired bright, strapping, nubile, young conservative men with older but still eager patrons who would give them a hands-on passage to a sweet Con Inc. job- if they were willing to earn it the hard way.”
Strong grift tho -- lots of engagement. Tosser. Never could understand the appeal of these muppets, but incendiary rhetoric really is a thing right now. Left going full native. The guy found his new crowd: the TDS (and now EDS) consumers. Love it they do. Very respect, much grift, yes-yes.
Sad!
Did appreciate the bait on this one, though. :) Killing them softly with kindness sounds marvelous indeed; well, if you can find the time, eh?
Drumpfenreich. My dear Librarian, if that is your coinage, I congratulate you. It's a shame one cannot earn money from neologisms. I'm getting to this installment late, and may have more to say later.
ISTM that clickbait Ricky may not be all about saving the country...I know I know hard to believe! Getting kicked off Elon's ego enterprise is so easy even I got kicked off...a man of even-keeled temperance I am. Elon's gonna cut you down.
Profound! I don't know if I have wit enough to come up with something nice enough, but thanks for redirecting me from enflamed vitriol to compassionate consideration.
Rick Wilson needs to die…
…to himself and seek the kingdom of God.
That’s really my point. He needs to be dead… to the world and fix his eyes on the eternal things.
Brilliant strategy with the perfect scapegoat. Clutch subheading.
Seriously, though: enjoy the new paid subs -- you're one of the few writers who deserve it.
Thank you, that’s kind.
I see now. This was all a misunderstanding. They didn't realize we weren't talking about THAT Athens and Jerusalem.
They're the guardians of our heritage.

Has a more homosexual sentence ever been written?
You must not have read my tribute to Richard Simmons.
Same thing needs to be done for John Cleese. I subscribed for the laughs and all I got were lame anti-MAGA and pro MIC screeds.
It’s been very disconcerting to see who got infected with TDS so bad they can’t shake it. Steve Martin and Stephen King. It’s boggling
Which reminds me! I forgot to unsubscribe for exactly the same reasons as you. Thanks for reminding me. He’s a condescending dickhead!

It’s why I go so out of my way to be nice to him. It’s called caring.
Was Roberta Flack playing softly in the background while you wrote this?
As with Bill Kristol and Jonah Goldberg, I simply can’t say “Ahoy!” And welcome him on the good ship lollipop, the bulwark of conservatism.

This was great fun to read. Like Waugh, only bitter.
Uh, better.
Ha ha . The guy is a true asshole. No other fit description for someone like this. Ignore him.
Very funny.

This is reminiscent of P. J. O'Rourke and Florence King.

Some disconnected observations:
- I rarely read to the end of anything but luckily I read yours first. I didn't burn any Teslas in London.
- Pro-life people are very kind and associating Rick with them would be a real mitzvah and bring kindness to his algorithm thing
- Harmony may be increased by compromise. Why can't we all just agree on "Orange-u-Akhbar" and get along?
