RUN BLUES: I missed Tuesday night’s presidential debate, which is to say — having caught some of it — I saw too much. It was like watching a belligerent drunk driver going the wrong way up a freeway onramp with all the inevitable consequences. If there is to be a rematch, ESPN should moderate. Joe Biden blinked too much for my taste but still managed to get off a good throwaway line: “Trump wouldn’t know a suburb unless he took a wrong turn.” This came in response to Trump’s wild hair charge that Biden is hell-bent on wiping suburbs off the face of the planet.
This, presumably, is the game plan for scaring suburban white women into submission. If these women only belonged to the same charismatic “community” of faith as Trump’s latest Supreme Court nominee, Amy Coney Barrett. People of Promise, the community to which Barrett has been involved, does not allow women to serve on their board. As has been widely reported, women are permitted certain ancillary leadership roles, that of “handmaiden” being the best known.
The body of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, scientists have just discovered, was already spinning well before they put her in the ground.
