The remnant DNA from Jake Tapper’s White House correspondent job at ABC, seemingly had an unexpected synaptic firing last night before shutting down forever. It was, essentially, the last wisp of Tapper’s journalism desperately trying to rage against the dying of the light. It was also very sad, in a pathetic partisan way, to watch.
Somewhere in the deep recesses of our memory, we remember those days before the U.S. State Dept and IC, via CNN, purchased the $5 million Washington DC estate for Tapper to own his credibility. Furrowed brows sold cheap; I digress.
Just as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow, despite the grand pontifications evident in this performance, Mr Tapper will quickly return to the DNC plantation. After all, a life without pretending in DC is a lonely, isolated, irrelevant, hermit life filled with black pills, coffee and unused shaving cream. Just ask Steve Bannon.
In the few seconds where the remnant journalist DNA had a spontaneous synaptic firing event, Jake Tapper tried to talk Delaware Senatore Chris Coons into dropping the pretenses about the mental acuity of Joe Biden. Senator Coons was having none of that honest Tapper nonsense. No-way, no-how, nope… not happening. There’s not a chance in heck that Coons will be the first politician to willingly put his head in the basket. WATCH:
To quote formerly funny pop culture, Joe Biden’s debate performance was “merely a flesh wound.”
