Maybe Not
Remember when Bill Kristol announced that he knew an independent candidate who was going to run who had great name ID and could beat both Hillary and Trump?
Turns out it was a guy named David French, who is a writer for The National Review. Okay, I have never heard of him per se. However, I do know his name as it relates to fries, toast, kiss, and a revolution that happened shortly before ours.
I imagine he’s never heard of me either. That is probably why I am not running for President.
Well, it turns out that David French is not running for President because, against all assumptions you ever had about National Review writers, French appears to be the only one who is not a total and complete idiot.
Thanks once again, Bill Kristol, for bad information and crazybutt theories.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
Oh, sure, like Ryan absolutely did not want to run for Speaker of the House, until he did.
1All we really need to know about David French is that his wife is Nancy French, the ghostwriter for the Wasilla Wendigo and Barstool Palin.
Bloody Bill has gone full circle, chasing that bus again. Now that you’ve caught it, bite it, Bill.
2Correction:
3The French Revolution happened after ours, not before. Some say we gave them idea.
People keep saying there’s going to be an independent candidate, because they can’t believe the ones we’ve got left after the winnowing process, such as it was.
4RayS – oops. Sorry.
5French was a senior legal counsel for two bible bigot hate groups before becoming a staff writer: The American Center for Law and Justice and the Alliance Defending Freedom.
When he was in the military overseas he made strict rules for his little woman, Nancy, who eloped with him after a brief dating period. She was not allowed to participate in social networking because he was afraid she’d play footsie with the males of our species. Her loophole: being Bristol Palin’s Facebook ghost writer. Bwa ha ha!
In the book Mr & Mrs French wrote together they revealed absent Daddy Dearest’s rules: that Nancy was not allowed to drink, she could not use Facebook, and she could not “have phone conversations with men, or meaningful e-mail exchanges about politics or any other subject.” At one point, Nancy began an email exchange with a man to talk about faith, but David insisted she end the conversation.
Nancy French has made much of her living ghostwriting books for a variety of celebrities, including Bristol Palin, Sarah Palin, Shawn Johnson and Stacey Dash.
6How could Mr. French work at NRO? Wouldn’t have had to change his last name to Freedom while the Iraq War was being sold?
7Poor Billy! There he is all alone in his corner without even a plum pudding to stick his thumb into! No wonder he got a little delirious!
8Sounds like French didn’t want a wife– he wanted a small child, or maybe a dog.
9RayS: one might even say we were the cause. The amount of debt that the French government incurred was ruinous.
10So Bill K was unable to persuade French to run. Therefore: Kristol Blew Persuasion.
11Teh Gerg – I see what you did there. And I love it.
12Juanita, sweetie, I can assure you that you may have never heard of David French (I hadn’t either), but if Billy Boy’s neocon minions are working with him, by now he’s got a database that’s heard of you.
I know all about how that works. I ended up in Dubya’s Enemies Database (Nixonian paper “lists” are just sooo 70’s) fifteen years ago, and look at me now. I now live in Costa Rica. And I won’t be getting on an airplane anytime soon, no matter how much I might want or need to.
13maggie – For the record, Billy sits on his ‘plum pudding’. He’s all set.
14For a hotdog like French-mustard is the only condiment needed until my Ailsa Craig onions are ready for the buns.
Tommy James and the Shondells is so proud of you teh Greg.
Look over yonder,what do you see
Wingnut heads exploding, fortuitously
15Teh Gerg –
Wow, how long have you been sitting on THAT one?
Well worth the wait – SNORK!!
16It was a natural mistake. A lot of radical-righters are notorious for believing that the French always run.
Very few of those radical-righters have any military service background.
17Well done Teh Gerg.
18Smh at women like this Nancy French, who for some reason like to be told what to do, in spite of being (technically, if not emotionally) grown-ass women. Unfathomable to me (an uppity female for well over 50 years)
19Teh Gerg wins the internet tubes today.
20There are more where that came from, but I’ll try to keep them to myself. As a public service.
21Bring it on,Teh Greg. It kinda figures Kristol didn’t get his round mouth from eating square meals.
22If Bill Kristol ever gets a single blessed thing right, we’ll all need to start carrying umbrellas in any weather. To protect ourselves from the falling pig poop.
