It's not easy being a son, Eric

By -




Now that 36-year-old Jared Kushner has been asked by his father-in-law to be his closest presidential advisor, to broker a Mideast Peace, to cure the opioid crisis, reform care to veterans, and overhaul the very workings of government (none of those jobs, incidentally, for which he is even remotely qualified), you have to wonder about poor Fredo, uh Eric.

I've always taken care of you Eric

ERIC

Taken care of me. You're my brother-in-law and you take care of me. Did you ever think about that -- did you ever once think about that? Send Eric off to play golf during the inauguration. Send Eric off to pick up some award for drinking wine! Let Eric to take care of some Mickey Mouse property in Uruguay!  Send Eric out to take a picture of his ballot. I'm his real son, Jared, and I was stepped over. I should be advising him and meeting with Russian bankers and Netanyahu and hanging with Bannon and lying in bed all day on Saturday (or whatever it is you people do) and having security clearance.

JARED

That's the way Pop wanted it.

ERIC

It ain't the way I wanted it! I can handle things. I married somebody pretty, too. I'm smart -- not like everyone says -- not dumb, smart and I want respect! And, wait a second, he's not even your pop!

Scott Pruitt's Peculiar Fascination with Pot

Scott Pruitt, EPA Administrator  Back in 2015, Scott Pruitt, Oklahoma's former attorney general and chief dictation officer for the energy industry, sued Colorado because ... "The fact remains — Colorado marijuana continues to flow into Oklahoma, in direct violation of federal and state law. Colorado should do the right thing and stop refusing to take reasonable steps to prevent the flow of marijuana outside of its border. And the Obama administration should do its job under the Constitution and enforce the Controlled Substances Act. Until they do, Oklahoma will continue to utilize every law enforcement tool available to it to ensure that the flow of illegal drugs into our state is stopped.” Yes, because three Alpha Phi Deltas at the University of Colorado cutting their Freshman Writing Seminar to get high back at the frat house presents a clear and present danger to the good people of Oklahoma City. Pruitt, though, is a states' rights kind of guy, but apparentl

But for a suit

This article cites a 2002 interview with Vice President Pence — who has called himself an “evangelical Catholic” — saying that he “never eats alone with a woman other than his wife,” and that he doesn’t attend events serving alcohol unless she is with him as well.  Sheik Hilali was quoted as saying: "If you take out uncovered meat and place it outside ... without cover, and the cats come to eat it ... whose fault is it, the cats' or the uncovered meat's? The uncovered meat is the problem. If she was in her room, in her home, in her hijab [the headdress worn by some Muslim women], no problem would have occurred."

The most hugest man in the world

He spends his mornings, alone in a big house, watching television, playing with his phone. He surrounds himself with sycophants and crooks and disgraced incompetents and white supremacists.  When he bankrupts companies, he does so with equal parts aplomb and denial. He is to grammar what Jim Nantz is to Vin Scully. Tone deaf, he can be found playing golf and bringing back to life deceased American icons. To his followers he is a paragon of virtue, a voracious reader, and a top-notch negotiator. He looks at his detractors and says NYET.  He has the best ties, the best words, the best children. Once, at a military school, he dreamt of conquest, but settled instead for refurbishing the Commodore Hotel with a loan his father co-signed. He knows heroes when he sees one, and he hasn't seen one.  He has slept with more women than you, many more. He has cheated on all of them, but they deserved it. His hair is glorious and manly and as real as the America on his hats. He is cloddish in bot
