The left-wing crack-up

THE LEFT: March 14, 2019   It was in the mid-1980s that I resuscitated the term “crack-up” and applied it to political movements that were not very healthy. I say I resuscitated the term because it was F. Scott Fitzgerald who first used it as a title for a 1945 collection of essays that were mostly personal and first published between the 1930s and 1940s. When he did finally...
Michael Cohen’s political libido
R. Emmett Tyrrell 03/10/2019 - 4:51pm
POLITICAL PARTIES: March 7, 2019 One of the greatest characters I have encountered in Washington died years ago. He was the legendary political operator Paul Corbin. He had worked for John F. Kennedy and more closely for Bob Kennedy. He was loyal to the Kennedys to the end, but after the Kennedys were assassinated he wandered. Eventually, he...
A job opening for Jussie Smollett
R. Emmett Tyrrell 02/28/2019 - 7:47am
JUSSIE SMOLLETT: February 28, 2019 I have been assiduously studying the case of Jussie Smollett, the chap who claims that two pro-Trump ruffians wearing MAGA hats accosted him on a Chicago street at 2:00 a.m. on one the coldest nights of the year, shouting anti-gay (Smollett is openly gay) and anti-black (Smollett is openly black) slurs at him...
What is in the pope’s hand?
R. Emmett Tyrrell 02/21/2019 - 5:31pm
POPE FRANCIS: February 21, 2019 Pope Francis is increasingly showing his hand. He came into the papacy promising to clean up the Catholic Church, especially on matters of sexual abuse. In doing so, he raised hopes among the laity, especially in America and Latin America. He said all the right things, or at least many of the right things. He...
Democrats: The party of dinkelspiels
R. Emmett Tyrrell 02/14/2019 - 4:37pm
DEMOCRATS: February 14, 2019 As President Donald J. Trump climbs to the highest approval rating he has reached in his presidency, we keep hearing about how much trouble he is in. He cannot possibly be re-elected, the critics tell us, while his approval rating rises above 50 percent and his disapproval rating detumesces. Well, I would agree with...
The case of Ralph Northam
R. Emmett Tyrrell 02/07/2019 - 4:32pm
RALPH NORTHAM: February 7, 2019 Whatever is to be the ultimate fate of the wretched Gov. Ralph Northam of the great commonwealth of Virginia, I wonder what he now thinks about those who use the term “racism” as loosely as he did in his race with Ed Gillespie. In his rabble-rousing 2017 campaign, he actually rebuked Gillespie for his...
