On the last podcast of the week, John Podhoretz, Abe Greenwald, and Noah Rothman do their best to break down what has to be the single stupidest 36-hour period in American politics in living memory. From the kerfuffle over “covfefe” to ISIS chic, Americans on the right and the left were compelled to debate inanities even more than usual this week. Also, we discussed Noah Rothman’s feature in the June issue, “How to Be a Conservative in the Age of Trump,” and where the right went wrong. Give a listen.

    After 12 long year in Catholic school, I laughed out loud at the Second Coming of Satan  and at John’s hasty correction.  I’m sure Noah would have jumped in for the save were it not for his crushed soul.

    But of course, there can’t be a second coming of Satan.  He never left.

    I’m glad to have a name for the perpetually aggrieved: “rage monkeys.”  That’s awesome.

    “From the kerfuffle over “covfefe””

    Just like to point out, for the record, that I made a covfefe/kerfuffle joke yesterday:

    I laughed at John’s talk about an Indian casino cancelling a Kathy Griffin performance. That’s exactly what happened here in Albuquerque.
