i think this shows podesta is a real pro politician. my spouse's response to huffman's question was far less decorous, involving several expletives and culminating with "that's not making risotto, that's making rice with gravy".

It should come as no surprise that Clinton employs people who can't write or spell.

Was just coming here to post that remaining Trump surrogate Joseph Arpaio has just been charged with criminal contempt, according to reportage photographer friend at courthouse right now.

also all those words are spelled correctly (I wouldn't call the will/with typo a misspelling, just the result of a hastily-written email arising from a pressing risotto query) xp

Joe Arpaio needs to serve a couple of years in one of his corporately-run for-profit jails, where humiliation and dehumanization are key tools in inmate management.

What are the qualities a man has to have to pull off a really nice suit?

He needs to be at ease with himself. You need to wear the clothes, the clothes mustn’t wear you. And I think when someone has not an easy figure—he’s not the hardest figure, but he’s not the easiest; he’s not Barack Obama, is he?—they need to be at one with that and allow the clothes to work with their weaknesses, as opposed to fighting against them. You can’t interrupt your clothes, can you?

If Donald Trump came into your store, would you serve him?

We serve all our clients without discriminating against what they do or where they do it. We’d be more than happy to help Mr. Trump dress better—because at the end of the day, we all have to look at him.

I don't know whether to believe the NRO commenter who claimed that during his morning show Sean Hannity defended Trump by claiming, " King David had 500 concubines for crying out loud!" I hope so.

Easy; they're the kind of fuckhead who saw Gekko and wanted to be _that_. Like that Dave Aurini the mra/pua fuckhead who deliberately shaved his head and grew a goatee to model himself as some sorta video game supervillain/LaVey type.

(Aurini also wrote a novel, set in post-apoc Ontario, and regularly films himself in front of a conspicuously placed skull prop on YouTube)

Robert Christgau on Hillary and canvassing.

So right, Bernie. On the issues he was Hillary's superior, on implementation anything but. Admirably untouched by big money, he was undeterred by a single attack ad or exposé of his wild socialist youth because he was the opponent the right wanted. So he was dizzied by the unsullied adulation he inspired just like every other new star in history. Of course he reveled in his newfound fame after sixty years of failing to lead humanity into righteousness. But when his wife, Jane, reported indignantly that he'd called the Daily News's sane follow-up questions on breaking up the banks "an inquisition," I lost what little faith I had that he was ready to govern.

Yet not only did he beef up the platform more than seemed possible, he now agrees with me on Hillary and is doing something about it on campuses nationwide. Pullquote: "I know about as much about third-party politics as anybody in Congress. And I want anybody who's thinking about voting against Hillary Clinton, and casting a protest vote because she is not all they would like her to be, to understand what the consequences for the country and the world will be

Should do wonders for Nader fans too.

“I would talk to some of the members of Congress there when I was younger and prettier, them rubbing against girls, sticking their tongues down women’s throats who were uninvited, didn’t like it,” Conway told Matthews, according to Roll Call. “You’re saying, ‘yeah,’ because you know it’s true … And some of them, by the way, are on the list of people who won’t support Donald Trump because they all ride around on their high horse.”

So, does this mean kellyanne conway approves of sexual harassment, but only when it is done by Trump and those loyal to him and not when it is perpetrated by disloyal Republicans, or what?
