I was just rewatching that clip and trying to decide whether my doting on those adorable corgis surpassed my attraction to Daniel Craig (yes CLEARLY the best Bond).

I’m actually not sure how much property he owns, at this point. The new Frontline documentary “The Choice” (recommended, btw!) indicated that much of the money he makes at this point is through branding. He doesn’t actually own most of the hotels around the world that use his name, but is simply paid to have his name…

It really is an excellent palette cleanser.

That was my mistake tonight. Sobriety.

I’m sorry about the anxiety. Here is a corgi being tickled!

UGH the worst

This shit for real raised my heart rate just watching it happen. Too many flashbacks to creepy men hovering and invading my personal space.

Horrifying take: maybe this was a normal (and therefore not-so-memorable) conversation for Billy and he forgot to inform Jeb!.

Ezra Klein says a lot of smart things better than I can, too.

Ha, I feel like there’s a chance that that’s not true and that they’re not cahoots with the Clinton campaign (because, like, have they met him?).

True. I think I’m forgetting how important timing is to this fallout.

Yep. One of the few Republicans I admire for his Never Trump status—and I CANNOT BELIEVE I am saying this—is Lindsay Graham. Because he called a rat a rat before it was politically convenient.

Or attacks on POWs, back in those carefree pre-convention days, for that matter!

God I love Garrison Keillor.

I’m with you that this shouldn’t be news to ANYONE at this point, but I do think that something feels different about the fallout, here.

How is all of this stuff (all of the mess from this weekend) only surfacing now? I guess it could have just been uncovered, but that seems like some sloppy opposition research?

Not trying to deny what happened—I think there is a real (and significant) difference between “these people whom Clinton hired to run her campaign and help her set policy” and “these people who are volunteering for her campaign and support her.” Based on my quick search, it looks like it was the latter.

Yes yes yes all the stars

Snopes has it coming from her supporters, not her campaign: http://www.snopes.com/hillary-clinton-started-birther-movement/

Yep! I said something similar upthread (things stick to Barack too). And you’re right that Obama is a good campaigner....
