“Revenge is a dish best served cold.” — old Klingon proverb
Up until Friday afternoon, James Comey was the Democrats’ favorite lawman ever. He was Eliot Ness and John McClane and Commissioner Gordon all rolled into one. Now that he threatens to thwart their ambitions, they’re climbing over each other to be the one who condemns him the loudest.
So, you might expect that the leader of their party would follow suit. You might think that Obama would use the bully pulpit to knock down the latest hurdle keeping his team from dragging Grandma across the finish line.
Nope!

But I’m sure they’ll take it well. 🙂
I’ll post a clip of this as soon as I find one. It’s one for the scrapbook!

I’m no longer a Republican, but I’ve never been happier not to be a Democrat.
