“I do not understand the cost-benefit here. The costs are clear. The benefits, what voter’s going to vote for him because he’s seen with Donald Trump? The cost of appearing with this bloviating ignoramus is obvious, it seems to me. Donald Trump is redundant evidence that if your net worth is high enough, your IQ can be very low and you can still intrude into American politics.”
I remember George mostly as bloviating on the back page of Newsweek for many years. The only two parter I recall was given to Will to explodiate his view that we would all be much better off if EVERYONE carried a loaded assault rifle. Carried anywhere and everywhere. In line at the bank. Now of course you are thinking, that George, what a card… What a satirist! No sir, the real thing, which was followed soon how we must get rid of seat belts laws. Which I agree with, every time I get drunk at the beach, having to strap the babies in those car seats I always seem to get the barrel of my AR15 caught between the door and the roof. Sometimes it goes off, which is also annoying.
As you can see, it is for good cause that both George Will and Billy “Jackboot” Bennett are considered to be the height of the intellectual wing of the GOP.
