Great news, everyone!

Clever, eh?

‘Good Evening,’ Says President Trump, Drawing Immediate Flurry Of Fact Checks

Some gems from John Kass column about the state of union address, Nancy P. going on a tear, etc.
Chosen for the satisfaction of a well-turned phrase and metaphor:
The partisan impeachment of President Donald Trump finally passed, mercifully, like a kidney stone, with Democrats grimacing helplessly during acquittal in the Senate on Wednesday.
………………………………..
And what about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who cemented herself in the American mind as a petulant child, angrily ripping up her copy of Trump’s State of the Union speech?
………………………………………………..
During his State of the Union speech the other night, Trump didn’t mention the impeachment once.
With Pelosi sitting behind him, muttering to herself like some angry bag lady alone on a night train, he didn’t have to mention it.
………………………………………………
He focused instead on his accomplishments and the economy, which infuriates his enemies. When he was done, Pelosi grabbed Trump’s speech, and in a fit of petulance, theatrically ripped it to shreds.
…………………………………………….
Pelosi once wisely said she wanted no part of a purely partisan impeachment, that it would be wrong for the country and her party. But power is like sugar, once the body is hooked on blueberry pie, it always wants more.
So, Pelosi capitulated to the urgings of her wild-eyed Inspector Javert, Adam Schiff and pushed impeachment.
Which turned out bad for them. The more’s not the pity.
