GOP Hypocrisy

Gasps of Horror Accompany Trump Naming Kudlow to Coronavirus Team: ‘Like Injecting It in Our Veins’

By

Let me just set one thing out to begin.

It is not inappropriate to insert an economist on the Coronavirus task force in my mind. Indeed, it might well be smart. An economist could work with big business and the banks to get them needed information. And, for whatever it’s worth, I think Trump would also be well-served borrowing a military officer for the task force, someone who specializes in simply moving things around fast.

It would not serve the nation well if one thought that everyone on the committee needed to be someone with an MD or PhD in public health. It is not a bad idea to appoint an economist.

It’s just a terrible idea to appoint  this particular economist.

Morons seldom make your “team” better, whether it is a team formed to win the Super Bowl, or one created to save the nation from the second coming of the Spanish Flu.

As friends of the blog surely know, Larry Kudlow is the very same man who, at the end of last month, said that the Coronavirus will likely help the United States economically. He thought it would help “bring jobs back to the United States. We assume that Kudlow – being a moron – didn’t know at that point that Coronaviruses need not check-in at U.S. Customs prior to their flight. It was never going to stay in China.

And we could spend a week posting stupid shit that Kudlow said on FOX prior to even joining Trump’s team, and still only have scratched the surface. Not for nothing but if there is any benefit to having Kudlow on the task force it may be that he is used to things entering the nose and entering the blood stream, as there is a TON of speculation that his time on Wall Street introduced him to some chemicals often associated with Wall Street and noses.

That might’ve been needlessly mean, but so is appointing Kudlow in the first place.

Anyway, the internet isn’t accepting Kudlow’s appointment well:

I wouldn’t go that far Admiral Ackbar, but it’s not a great development.

Likely the only thing he has to contribute.

Probably not medically indicated at this point. Let’s maybe hold off on that quite yet.

Internet goes wild over ‘obviously drunk’ Larry Kudlow on FOX: ‘He’s lying while slurring his words’

Normally it would be mean to comment on someone’s drinking history, but we try to note it when someone appears on TV pretty sloshed.

No, not stocks, but the overall health of the economy isn’t necessarily bad.

Perfection. We will end on that.

As everyone knows, the “adults in the room” are in someone else’s room now, with the White House empty except for the howling monkeys. It is not funny, but we best accept that our government will be uniquely ineffective in the near future as we gasp in horror over the ineffectiveness of the people overseeing it.

Peace, y’all
