When did Hillary Clinton become a foreign policy genius? Was it during the ten years she spent as First Lady of Arkansas?

I bet you think that is really, really clever, don’t you manju?

(Sorry — I’ve had a long day.)

But that doesn’t affect my main point: Before you can say that any comment by Bannon is “revenge” for him being fired, you have to know that he said it before he was fired, or at least before he knew he would be fired.

“Even if you thought that this was not treasonous, or unpatriotic, or bad shit, and I happen to think it’s all of that, you should have called the FBI immediately.”

Since Bannon was fired on August 17, the comment may not have been in reaction to his firing. You really have to know when he wrote the comment, and when he learned he was being fired.

(I believe that he was talking to Wolff, and others, all through the campaign, and during his time in the White House.)

Second, as with Paul Manafort (and others), this incident should make you wonder about Trump’s judgement in picking subordinates. Superior leaders pick competent, loyal subordinates. (It took me about one minute on the Internet to learn that Manafort has serious ethical problems; it apparently took Trump months.)

“New York Magazine has published an excerpt from a forthcoming book by Michael Wolff titled Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House. This is the book that includes bizarre comments by Steve Bannon smearing President Trump and his family. It also contains a story that was, as liberal reporters say, too good to check: President Trump had never heard of John Boehner. “

I forget who said it, (it might have been Churchill), or where I read it but all of us can probably relate on a visceral level to the fellow who, when asked, who he would shoot if he only had one bullet left and he was being advanced upon by a foreign enemy and a traitor, said: “I’d let the traitor have it every time”.

David Brock is an early example of turncoats, although I doubt if Bannon (or even Boot) will go full-left as Brock did.

I suppose now he will become a regular on MSNBC with Tyler and Schmidt. Maddow might even sleep with him now. Give up her girlfriend for Steve-O.
