Mayor of Chicago lays it on thick at the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Blithe Spirit 1 Minute

The mayor’s hyperbole:

Devastated by the passing of RBG. She represented the finest among lawyers in our country. A giant in her advocacy for women’s rights, civil rights and respect for the rule of law. We must honor her legacy and all her contributions to American jurisprudence. Rest in power, RBG.

The mayor is not devastated — unless she is reduced to chaos, disorder, or helplessness.

As for resting in power, what the hell is she talking about? RBG has gone to the next life, where the power hierarchies are beyond anything she and the rest of us can even remotely imagine.

Words can’t describe . . .
