Parrot Room: We Settle All the Family Business
Mickey defends discussing scurrilous rumors. Speaking of scurrilous rumors: here’s one that even the Web won’t pick up. What does Pat Cipollone have to offer? Maybe they should have let Trump go to the Capitol on Jan 6. Mark Leibovich’s Mencken complex. What’s so bad about sucking up?—the case of Juan Carlos. Not all Mencken imitators are alike. Bob’s self-pitying insight of the day. The strange case of Quincy and Cirincione. Ukraine update. NYT’s Blake Masters drive-by. Jonathan Greenblatt’s Bob drive-by. Mickey’s pathetic grudge against James Bennet. How neocons launder themselves. Saddam Hussein and the logic of collective action. The rappers are onto the Epstein client list travesty. Are liberal journalists about to turn on Hunter Biden? How does Bari Weiss do it? Mickey’s auto trauma. Mickey’s cognitive empathy for Ron DeSantis. Is it OK to discriminate against woke whippersnappers? We have seen the future and it’s corporate-government symbiosis (Or is that the present?). Bob watches the top-rated episode of the Jan 6 hearings. Looking for the Trump/Proud Boys connection. Minions: the cartoon that proves Tik Tok’s dominance. Commenters: the Prog Rock symposium never ends. The parrot takes us higher.
This dialogue is (in part, at least) a continuation of a publicly available dialogue taped earlier in the day.
