Mostly Kurt Schlichter writes biting put-downs of the GOP’s enemies, and they’re funny the way the late Don Rickles was funny. Today he takes up a serious subject - the mixed bag that is Mitch McConnell.
Schlichter argues that Mitch was formerly, on balance, good for the Republican Party. I agree. He concludes that, for whatever reason, the good Mitch accomplishes no longer outweighs the not-good for which he’s responsible. Again, I agree.
It is time for Mitch to retire; getting him to do so won’t be easy or pleasant. The column’s conclusion is classic Schlichter:
Mitch is too old, too unpopular, too angry, and increasingly too ineffective to be the senior Republican elected official. It’s time for the Murder Turtle to withdraw into his shell.
