Back with the Daily Dose after slacking off most of the week. Some Jack McDuff with some instrumental grooves to slide you into a smoking hot weekend (at least here) real easy. The Heatin' System:

I rooted for Bill Clinton as well.

Who doesn't love an acquittal, or even (perhaps particularly) a jury nullification?

No, it was a bone for Comey to throw to Republican Senators. That is hardly a black swan event.

That too.

It's hysterical watching him and wondering, how long can this cat keep winning so ugly? It's Pythonesque. And everybody's so exercised. The media and the left and even a lot of the GOP -- they've all lost their minds.

It's Peter Sellers' Being There, only the gardner's a pathologically narcisistic r/e developer from Queens.

So Comey's playing ball with the GOP?

not to be a culture timmy, but Nixon In China was not a tragedy, other than thinking hil et al wrecked a great president, capable of opening the door to China, for nonsense.

Comey was a registered Republican for most of his career, IIRC and I think do. He certainly was throwing bones to Republican Senators last year -- that was the whole point of his Hamlet act about the Hillary email investigation. Why do you think he ever stopped?

BTW, the best comment I saw about his testimony yesterday was that the Republican Senators all accepted his testimony's truth and tried to explain why Trump hadn't done anything wrong, but Trump called him a liar -- and that this suggests that Trump will be in a world of trouble as things continue.

A+ culture timmying! Better than anything Atticus has ever done.

I should have been clearer; Nixon was worthy of a grand opera, the opera itself was not a tragedy, it was part of the promise and grandness of Nixon that builds him up before that tragic fall. The Nixon administration played out a tragedy, a story of a once capable, bright and promising politician caught up in venality, deceit and corruption.

Can anyone verify that Sebby is actually a lawyer?

I am still waiting for confirmation that you are not Richard Simmons in hiding.

I think you can get plenty of verification for that.

I sort of felt for him. In the middle of that campaign, after having clearer her, something else came up. If he had waited until after after the election and she won, would we be hearing the flip? The guy was in a no win situation? Plus, if he simply wanted to tool Hil, why clear her in the first place? I'm not trying to carry anyone's water, just don't see his motivation, and do see his rock and hard place positioning.

Happy to do my part.

He should have just followed DOJ policy and said nothing, and then he would have stayed out of it. DOJ has a lot of experience in keeping Congress from knowing about or interfering with ongoing investigations. Once he started talking, he creating all sorts of trouble for himself.

Show my post to someone not eternally biased, and see what they think.

alternative post- are you saying the FBI shouldn't have cleared her until after the election? Or are you saying the FBI should say stuff that helps her, but not stuff that might not?

sometimes ggg can be a bit dicky here (and let he who is without this sin cast the first stone), but in person a nice guy. and he was not wearing dolphin shorts or a tank top, so not Richard.
