On the first COMMENTARY podcast of the week, we ask whether the Michael Flynn plea indicates huge trouble for the Trump White House or will prove to be much ado about nothing. But in the “much ado about something” category, we place the astonishing report that Saudi honcho Muhammad bin Sultan has effectively endorsed an Israeli peace proposal and sought to impose it on recalcitrant Palestinian boss Mahmoud Abbas. Could be the biggest news of the young century. Give a listen.

    Its early yet.

    I think its pretty important to get the information out there – of who was accused and what was settled – before the primary filing deadline. So that each party can have primary challenges to the bad actors and get fresh blood into the house.

    Ironically, this pervnado maybe the perfect answer to the problem of term limits. Get the geezers who have spent 50 years in congress out. This might actually be an election where 99.8% of incumbents are not re-elected.

    This podcast is happily infuriating; you guys remind of the naysayer in the old Gulliver Travel’s cartoon who always said “it will never work.”  I do not always accept your premises and conclusion, but you help me to more realistic and broadly focus on the issues that you discuss.  In the absence of direct interaction, this is some of best dialectic interaction available in this day and age, which is both welcome and regrettable.

    On the scandal ratio, even if it’s heavily Democrat, none of the to be revealed scandals are likely to entail underage girls since there are few underage girls in the capital.  The page program was abolished awhile ago.  There is already a Republican underage girls scandal.  Not all scandals are equal – Moore will count for many overage girl scandals on the scales.

    I enjoy this podcast immensely but JPod really needs to:

    a) get to his questions asked much quicker and b) when he finally asks the question he lets the other 3 answer it before interrupting.

    If someone timed the talk time for each participant it would be very lopsided.
