Put aside The Onion. The funniest writing is now straight reporting, such as Politico's hilarious coverage of GOP finger-pointing over you-know-who.
Some (that is, other you-know-whos) are blaming Marco Rubio for devoting so little firepower to taking down Donald Trump; some are blaming Ted Cruz for same; and "some" say it's the GOP's big-money guys who've been the real "saps during this entire process" of Dickhead Trump Enlargement. (Remember -- I have -- that giant, on-the-loose breast in Woody Allen's Sleeper? It has changed gender.) Still others blame the Republican National Committee for having been Dickhead's most effective prophylactic against cerebrally transmitted sanity.
But,
Receiving much of the blame is Right to Rise, the cash-flush super PAC that broke records when it announced last year that it had raised more than $100 million in support of Jeb Bush. The group has directed relatively little of that sum toward attacking Trump — instead focusing its efforts on taking down Bush’s establishment rivals….
In recent days, those once-quiet complaints have become a roar. Stephen Hayes, an influential Weekly Standard columnist, blasted Right to Rise for a strategy that effectively "cleared the way for Trump." Katie Packer [a former Romney aide] lamented that just 10 percent of the super PAC’s $100 million "could have had a significant impact."
"Right to Rise has done more to advance the candidacy of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump than they ever did for Jeb Bush," said Joe Pounder, a senior Rubio adviser. "Donald Trump doesn’t need a super PAC. He's got Jeb’s."
How poetic.
Jeb, who is the brother of George, whose squalid political overreach and base-pot-stirring and rather magnificent executive incompetence propelled to the White House a black intellectual, whose mere presence caused the GOP base to become utterly unglued and yet stuck to The Donald, who gained his foothold in the GOP sewer because of grossly insufficient Right to Rise pushback — all this, courtesy of incompetent Jeb, brother of incompetent George.
And so the circle completes itself.
