The Dowdening of America, Again

For no special reason, here's a new blog post, inspired by this tweet, posted yesterday by noted American news person Howard Fineman:



When that tweet was derided by lots of smart people, Howard deleted it, and this morning posted this:

Tonight I tweeted a pic of a Georgetown party hosted by @maureendowd, attended by @SpeakerPelosi, @SenSchumer and DC journos. In the old days it would’ve been a benign big-shot brag. No more. It was viciously ratio’d by left and right. I deleted it. All establishments are hated.

Chaser:

And that, my child, is why America collapsed. Because the ones tasked with holding truth to power were dazzled by the glitter, intoxicated by the proximity to something they’ll never have. To Howard Fineman, and all the other fluffer-stenographers of the ruling class, eat shit. pic.twitter.com/bi5i6Jg3by
