Cohen really is doing the country a big favor by spilling all of the beans. The Don’s con will be coming to a crescendo pretty darn soon. The SDNY and the State of NY’s AG are just gathering their massive evidence against Fake45 and Company. Of course, we all want him to serve time in prison. I actually pray for that. If that does indeed happen, then we can thank Cohen for that. Weisselberg also, if he sings like a canary.
As far as Dean is concerned, he probably is jealous he is not Cohen’s attorney.
Weisselberg needs to hire a taste tester and Raffensperger may have to enter the witness protection program when The Donald green lights his MAGA army to change the eventual outcome of this pathetic, tragic drama.
In 1976 Rolling Stone hired Dean to cover the Republican National Convention. On the plane to Kansas City Dean had a window seat; his seatmate on the aisle was Pat Boone. During the flight, a member of President Ford's cabinet, unidentified by Dean in his story, was walking past when Boone stopped him and asked why it was that the Republican Party, the party of Abraham Lincoln, didn't appeal more to Black people. The cabinet member said something like, "Well, Pat, you have to understand; there's only three things coloreds care about." What followed was bowdlerized by the Times as, "Good sex, comfortable shoes, and a warm place to go to the bathroom." The cabinet member was quickly revealed as, to no one's surprise, Earl "Rusty" Butz, Secretary of Agriculture, whom Ford inherited from Nixon, and who was an unfailing friend to massive scale, industrialized agriculture.
I had a Black friend who proudly wore a t-shirt with Butz's unbowdlerized quote on it.
One of the great advantages of being old enough to have been politically sentient during Watergate is watching all this come round again. At the time John Dean seemed like a choirboy who had fallen in with really bad companions. Michael Cohen has never given me that impression, but he's come round in a big way. Moral of story, maybe: Rich narcissists, don't take your flunkies for granted.
Trump's latest release asks us to thank him for the vaccines.
How many mass murders puts one in front of the World Court?

P.S. I couldn't find a link to Dean's RS piece, but the Kansas City Public Library's website has Ralph Steadman's wonderful drawings that accompanied it: https://www.kclibrary.org/blog/art-artifacts-remembering-1976-republican-national-convention
I still want Stormy to be considered for the Piece Prize.
The right perp walk photo could get Trump a Time Man of the Year cover!

Sweet dreams of a fat, sweaty blonde man being perp walked in a too tight orange jumpsuit.
Please, please delete the "e" from "blonde". ;-) The "e" makes him female. No way are we of the female persuasion claiming him. Thank you.
Ahhh. ..schadenfreude is sweet.
My mistake.
