It’s Always a Surprise for Andrew McCarthy

 

Andrew McCarthy’s in the NY Post. You know, I used to trust this guy. I mean I liked his sober analysis and his history. Solid service to the nation. Good understanding when I needed it.

And then, stories I trusted him on, he was wrong. It kept turning out that it was that bad on subject after subject. Nevertheless, when the next allegation came up, McCarthy always backed the institution. And he was always wrong and always wrote how surprised he was.

Next time there is an allegation of malfeasance on the part of the FBI, I fully expect him to simp for them, even after the Durham report.

Of course, I could be wrong on that. It would make my track record of predicting what was reality and what was it still a lot better than his.

    It sounds like Bryan put too much stock in him, and now he’s putting too much stock into his flaws because he didn’t take those into account in the first place.

    Ah, so I am to blame. Interesting take.

     

    You’re the one who misjudged him.  Did he make you any promises, either individually or collectively?  Did he break some sort of trust?

    You thought he was cool.  Now you don’t.

     If somebody’s judgment is wrong here it is yours because you clearly have not understood a word I have said.

    Hyperbole.  I’ve at least understood half.
