Jabba the Hut to Advise Trump
The Leader of the Republican Party and their Standard Bearer Donald Trump has hired disgraced former Fox News Chief Roger Ailes to advise him on the upcoming debates with Hillary Clinton.
Really.
Ailes, whose resemblance to Jabba the Hut is remarkable, will probably loan Trump the metal bikini and neck collar that he made Gretchen Carlson wear.
Ailes is the perfect guy to advise Trump. Since Carlson filed suit, twenty more women have come forward to say that Ailes sexually harassed them.
And just when you thought that Trump couldn’t get scummier.
Trump: Good for what Ailes you.
1It’s “Hutt”, actually, even though he’s the size of a Hut.
It’s hard to imagine anyone I would want to be sexually harassed by less than Roger Ailes. Though I’m sure that’s the only way he could get it.
A scumbag turns to an even bigger scumbag for advice. I don’t care to imagine what Jabba would say about how to debate Clinton.
2Now the problem of, where do Trump and Ailes meet?
We have the pleasure palace on Tatooine with a contingent of yes men who include criminals, bounty hunters, smugglers, assassins and bodyguards. Not too mention the entertainment: slaves & droids, and the Rancor under the trapdoor for some one on one (tiny one vs. giant one) fights to the death.
Or what about the Death Star? More yes men, a huge army of storm trooper yes men and their superior officers. The entertainment, alas, is lacking, limited to an occasional death grip around the throat. If regaling one person out of the thousands stationed there can be considered entertainment.
Book a flight to Tatooine.
3Roger The Ailes is just trying to get the scoop on getting backstage at the Miss Universe contest.
4With over eleven weeks left before the election, I can assure you that Donnie J will become scummier, slimier and more detestable than ever before.
5Roger will do what he has always done, spin and lie. Donnie J doesn’t need fact checkers, statistician or policy Wongs . He will always have “People say ” and “it’s on the internet”.

Re: “it’s on the Internet”
As the sage Abraham Lincoln said in 1863, “The problem with quotes on the Internet, is the difficulty of verifying their authenticity.”
6the gooey, slimy meeting of the minds…one advising the other…
7Micr:. As if Drumpf cares about authenticity, much less “truth”
8Oy! That birds of a feather thing! It just had to happen. Kind of like magnetic attraction.
9I can smell the stench of the two of them together. They deserve one another. I wonder who will catch what from whom.
10“And just when you thought that Trump couldn’t get scummier.”
Oh no. He can always get scummier. Scumpf’s scumminess extends to infinity. His scumminess is equivalent to the dark matter of the universe.
I wonder how long it will be until the beginning trickle of women come forward to tell of Scumpf’s sexual harassment and rapes? It will turn into a torrent soon thereafter.
11It gets even better. Today’s lead article in the New York Times has this headline: “Donald Trump, in Shake-Up, Hires Breitbart Executive for Top Campaign Post.” I’m still howling…
12Last night I was watching, ‘The Place For Politics 2016.’ There was a Republican commentator on. No, I take it back. She was a Republican apologist.
Anyhow, she was slamming Clinton because, of course she was. Every talking point came out. “Dishonest.” “Untrustworthy.” “Incompetent.” “Emails.” “Benghazi.” And on. And on.
Then the talk turned from Trump/Clinton to – – Roger Ailes. And she did something amazing. She told the truth. I had to pick my jaw up off the desk with both hands.
She said that Ailes had built FOX for the sole purpose of taking down the Clinton’s. That that had been his goal from the inception of the network. [Though I’m pretty sure it existed before the Clinton’s came to the national stage — still, that’s what she said.]
I could see her mentally kicking herself as soon as the words came out of her mouth. She had just negated the entire 20-minute diatribe she had indulged in and everyone on the panel knew it.
On the one hand, I wanted them to light into her and hold her previous harangue up to ridicule. But, if I’m being logical, I think they probably did exactly the right thing: they simply sat there in silence and let her words hang in the air. It was as if they had sat down in the green room ahead of time and said, “Okay, here’s our strategy.” It really was beautiful to behold. I only wish it had been earlier in the evening. At 1 AM on a weeknight, there wasn’t a huge audience to witness this unheard of TruthOut.
13Yeah, but say what you will about Ailes, he’s very competent. Not quite evil genius status, but certainly capable of helping Donnie in the debates, if he can discipline himself enough to take the advice. He’s the only one on Team Trump worth worrying about.
