Wither Mark Halperin

Awkward:

Disgraced former MSNBC analyst Mark Halperin’s book How to Beat Trump: America's Top Political Strategists On What It Will Take sold 502 copies during its first week, according to NPD BookScan's Wednesday report.

Not many Americans purchased Halperin's book this week despite the description on Amazon that claims, "more than 100 million anxious Americans want to know: how can Donald Trump be beaten in 2020 and evicted from the White House?"

Just six reviews of the book have been posted to Amazon, one of which is titled "Write what you know, Mark." In it, user Ball Student wrote, "He'd be better off avoiding speculation and sticking to areas he has extensive experience in: groping female employees."

We've beaten that number several times actaully. For a while we were moving 70 copies of Israel Strikes a day. It was glorious.

And we've never had Mark Halperin's name recognition or sexual harassment chops.

[You're a strong second-Ed]

You liked it.

[Blushes, you now, I kinda did-Ed]

I watch a lot of daytime TV. If Will Stroock knows one thing. it's women. I know what they need, I know what they want.

[Knobhead-Ed].

Don't do it, folks. Don't feel bad for Halperin. He's a journalist.

Plagiarist Defends Pervert

Oh, Mike Barnicle, we had forgotten you exist. Whether you were pushing your way on air when JFK Jr died, or going on Imus and saying how worried you were about all these 'kids' fighting in Iraq, or making sure you were sitting behind home plate at your beloved Fenway, you've always known how to get yourself on air and pose.

Via the Daily Caller, here you are defending disgraced perv and journalist Mark Halperin. Quoth:

“He deserves to be punished for what he did,” Barnicle said. “He deserves to have what he did be deplored. But does he deserve to die? How many times can you kill a guy?”
Barnicle asserts that was Halperin did was “creepy” and “very bad,” but even suggests that he could make a comeback someday, stating, “This is America—it’s geared for comebacks.”

Barnicle would know. 

Barnicle was fired from Kennedy organ The Boston Globe for ripping off jokes from George Carlin, which seems trivial. Really, who owns a joke? More importantly he wrote a sob-sister column about a rich white family and a poor black family at a children's hospital. 

Now to be fair, Barnicle didn't plagiarize this, he made it up.

How Barnicle is allowed anywhere near a camera or computer  is beyond us. Computer? Oh hell, you just know he makes a big deal out of still using a typewriter like an old fashioned Boston newsman. Ok, we only think that.

That's the media for you, depraved and decadent.

Why defend Halperin so much, hmmmmmm?

The Media is Decadent and Depraved

Via the Times, we learn that the New Republic's Leon Wieseltier is a sex-criminal:

Leon Wieseltier, a prominent editor at The New Republic for three decades who was preparing to unveil a new magazine next week, apologized on Tuesday for “offenses against some of my colleagues in the past” after several women accused him of sexual harassment and inappropriate advances.

Wieseltier edited The New Republic's books and and arts section which was always a mass of unreadable high culture. It appears he was about to start a new unreadable magazine dedicated to high culture:

But it was perhaps the now-scuttled new magazine that exemplified both Mr. Wieseltier’s intellectual ambition and the loyal roster of high-powered collaborators he accumulated over the years. Contributors to the first issue consisted of longtime New Republic contributors, including the historian Timothy Snyder, the law professor and former Obama regulations czar Cass Sunstein, the foreign policy writer Robert Kagan and the dance historian Jennifer Homans.
It may have been bankrolled by a Silicon Valley fortune, but Mr. Wieseltier, who has often inveighed against the corrosive effects of technology on culture, described it as a throwback.

“The model is something like Partisan Review, circa 1955,” he said in an interview last year with the blog of the National Endowment of the Arts.

Who talks like that?

This: Guy

Kind of puts the Johnathan Glass scandal in perspective, doesn't it?

Then there's Mark Halperin:

Veteran journalist Mark Halperin sexually harassed women while he was in a powerful position at ABC News, according to five women who shared their previously undisclosed accounts with CNN and others who did not experience the alleged harassment personally, but were aware of it.

Ok lot's of powerful men make passes at women and...wait...he did what? On no he didn't:

But women who spoke to CNN say he also had a dark side not made public until now. The stories of harassment shared with CNN range in nature from propositioning employees for sex to kissing and grabbing one's breasts against her will. Three of the women who spoke to CNN described Halperin as, without consent, pressing an erection against their bodies while he was clothed. Halperin denies grabbing a woman's breasts and pressing his genitals against the three women.

Oh yes he did.

Who does that? Mark Halperin, that's who.

So these two high-falutin journalists were talking all high and mighty about Donald Trump's 'pussy tape' while wagging their dicks at the women unfortunate enough to work for them.

Meanwhile us normies are wondering if its OK to tell a female colleague that we like her new hairdo.
