Ken Berwitz First the quick note: I understand that there was a brief period this morning when readers could not get on to this site. I did not know it at the time, because I am teaching courses at the moment, and will be doing so, with just a few brief breaks, until the mid afternoon…then driving back to my home / office. I am sorry for the inconvenience. Now the advisory: when I...
Ken Berwitz President Obama has announced that he will not be attending the funeral of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. I could write a lot about this, but I think it speaks for itself. Low class is low class. And no class is no class. I\’ll leave it at that.
Ken Berwitz You cannot make this stuff up. Here are the first three paragraphs of Eliza Collins\’s article at politico.com: Nearly 500 prostitutes have thrown their support behindHillary Clinton, and some are even using their trade to raise money for the Democrat\’scampaign. “A lot of people think we\’re just a brothel, we\’re justhookers and all we know...
Ken Berwitz Yesterday it was in Harlem, New York, with al sharpton and the mother of Eric Garner, who died after resisting arrest in Staten Island, after being brought down in something of a choke hold by one of the police officers (there\’s a lot more to this story than a “choke hold”). Today it is Chicago, with the mother of Sandra Bland, who died in her jail cell three days...
Ken Berwitz I\’m not thin-skinned when it comes to being Jewish (ask my wife, and she\’ll tell you I\’m not thin anything when it comes to anything). But when Ted Cruz put up this list of Democrats Donald Trump has donated money to… ….should it trouble me that the four misspelled names – those of Shelley Berkley, Rahm...
Ken Berwitz If you have a little age (like me), you might remember Sgt. Schultz from Hogan\’s Heroes. If so, you probably also remember his signature line: “I saw nussing! Nussing!” Well, these days we have a different Schultz, whose fund-raising capabilities would be perfect for the revised version of that line in this blog\’s title. From...
Ken Berwitz Here, from her report on this morning\’s Today Show – all 2:44 of it – is a list of what Kristen Welker got wrong (either unintentionally or intentionally: your call)…with each example being beneficial to Hillary Clinton: -0:48 “Despite a nagging cough…”: As pointed out in the previous blog, this was not “a nagging cough”...
Ken Berwitz Henry Louis Mencken – who, next to Mark Twain, was, in my thinking, the most quotable American commentator in American history – died in 1956. Dona\’d Trump was just 10 years old at the time. But I have a feeling they must have met. Here is one of my favorite quotes of his, which predated The Donald by 20 years: “No one in this world, so far as...
Ken Berwitz Yesterday morning, while speaking pandering to a Black crowd in Harlem, New York, Hillary Clinton had an uncontrollable coughing fit and lost her voice. This is not the first we have seen this in public. Ms. Clinton had a two-minute fit and lost her voice during last October\’s testimony on Benghazi. And it happened less than a month ago in Iowa. If media were...
Ken Berwitz Excerpted from today\’s editorial in the New York Post: Donald Trump crossed the line at the last Republican debate – twice: when he blamed President George W. Bush for 9/11, and when he boughtinto the “Bush lied” lie about the Iraq War. “The World Trade Center came down during the reign of GeorgeBush,” Trump said, because the president...
Ken Berwitz You had to know this was coming. If Hillary\’s fortunes are failing, it can\’t be Hillary. So it must be something else. And what better “something else” than invoking – again – the oppression of being a woman. Excerpted from Alexander Bolton\’s article at thehill.com: Women serving in the Senate say Hillary Clinton is...
Ken Berwitz It doesn\’t get much more repulsive than this. Hillary Clinton, when speaking with al sharpton – who, as you might be aware, is a Black man – promising secrecy on something by saying “Mah lips are sealed”. Not “My lips are sealed”, but “Mah lips are sealed”. And this, to a career racist and anti-Semite –...
Ken Berwitz Just what Hillary Clinton needed. Here are the teasers at the beginning of Ben Ashford\’s article in today\’s London Daily Mail: EXCLUSIVE: \’Heput on my frilly nightie, and danced around playing his sax.\’ Former MissArkansas says Bill Clinton was so-so in bed and confided Hillary was into sexwith women. Now she fears Hillary vendetta and sleeps with...
Ken Berwitz Maybe it\’s me….but I just scoured the Today Show\’s web site to find Chuck Todd\’s analysis of what Nevada\’s primary means to Hillary Clinton – a very poor analysis, in my opinion – and cannot find it. I can find his analysis of the Republican race in South Carolina without a problem, though. As I remember it, Mr. Todd assured us...
Ken Berwitz Today\’s Paragraph comes to us from David French, who, when he is not practicing law, is a writer for the conservative magazine National Review. Here is what Mr. French has to say about Donald Trump” Saturday\’sGOP debate finally clarified the Donald Trump phenomenon. After months ofdominating the polls and millions of words of analysis, the grueling slog ofthe...
