- I listened to this interview with James Comey, by the ever-engaging David Remnick, over the weekend and it’s fascinating. (New Yorker)
Barbra Streisand’s nails!!!!
The most brutal pain I’ve ever endured (and this includes a forceps delivery with no pain meds) was stepping on a piece of lego in the middle of the night. And I know I’m not alone.
I’m so on the fence about Comey. Hoping this article will help. Thank you for posting!
🙂
that lego in the middle of the night pain you never forget!
I viewed a number of Comey interviews, including his talks with Stephanopoulos and Colbert, and was predisposed to be on his side in an the-enemy-of-my-enemy-is-my-friend way. I listen to the New Yorker Radio Hour podcast regularly, and I was shocked by how tough David Remnick was on Comey. He spent an inordinate amount of time beating him up for his treatment of Hillary Clinton. Comey clearly made serious mistakes there, but I’d rather see him applauded for exposing the President’s bald-faced attempts at obstruction of justice.
I believe Comey is smart, thoughtful, decent –
But man, he has such a blind spot about his one big legit fuck up.
I know I’ve been mostly AWOL for awhile, but I wanted to pop in with some praise hands for The Return of the Links Category. Not that you should sacrifice your writing for them, but you know.
Also, we’re planning on getting a puppy in the next while, and though we’re hoping to get a male to counterbalance our nearly all female cat situation, if we end up with a girl, we’re naming her Babs.
Welcome back, Dede. You’ve been missed!
