| h/t Instapundit [Ricochet] When Pravda-on-the-Hudson and Ronan Farrow at The New Yorker broke the Harvey Weinstein story, they seem to have had Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama in their sights, as I suggested in an earlier post. Pravda certainly sought a purgation. Its editors bluntly demanded that the two Democratic standard-bearers repudiate one of their most generous donors; and this, with evident reluctance, they did. I doubt, however, very much whether anyone involved in breaking this story thought that theirs was the first salvo in what would turn into an exposé of the prattling class as a whole ‐ including not only our entertainment elite but also our media and political elite. But this is what happened ‐ and there is hardly a single left-liberal institution that has thus far emerged unscathed. A venerable Congressman has been driven from office. It looks as if a celebrity Senator will soon follow suit, and leading figures at NBC, CBS, NPR, and Pravda itself have been suspended or given the boot. |

| #1 Alinsky Rule - “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.“ “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.“ “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.“ “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.“ Patton (the movie): [referring to Rommel's book, 'Infantry Attacks' or 'Infanterie greift an'] Rommel... you magnificent bastard, *I read your book*! |
