So Bill Weld de facto endorsed Hillary Clinton for at least the third time (depending on how you count it).
Absolutely surreal (but he has said roughly this before):
I know her to be a person of high moral character. A reliable person and an honest person…
Sure, Bill. Why, I bet John the Baptist couldn’t hold a candle to her, right? But we won’t go there because you’d think it was a horrible insult to Hillary to make such a comparison. (What cosmos, never mind planet, do these people live on/in?)
And then this (on the new FBI e-mail discovery), which The Fix’s Aaron Blake, in an awful transcription, neither marked nor commented on in his annotated analysis:
Mr. Comey’s got a good background but there’s nothing there, so far as it appears. Nothing there…So it’s not a good thing, it’s a distraction so I think we should just ignore it because there’s nothing there so [sic] get on with the business of [sic] last week of the election.
The selective advocacy of transparency is funny enough, but amazing how Bill not only got access to all 650,000 e-mails but read them faster than an entire team of FBI investigators! Case closed!
But no one should get too mad at/about Weld. Obviously he’s a symptom of a deeper problem, starting with the stoner-moron top of the ticket and all those responsible for nominating him again.
Is there a short, separate synopsis of the stoner/libertine infiltration/takeover of the libertarian movement? Seems like a good future topic to revisit.
