We...used to get upset about Barry Goldwater.

"remembered not for being the mayor of 9/11, but for farting everywhere and leaking hair dye" and holding a press conference at a landscaping company next to a porn shop and across from a crematorium, apparently confusing it with a hotel. Oh yes, we will always remember that.

May Cassidy Hutchinson's eye for the telling detail be nail that seals all their (legal) coffins.

Whaddya bet there'll be an interview on Meidas Touch? That happens and I'll know she's "made it"... Well, that and or Ruddles tries to sue her.

Why did she write all that in present tense, like she's writing a bodice-ripper or some cybersex rp rather than the disgusting experience it surely was? That creeps me out almost as much as what he did.

Agreed. I thought the style read like a middle schooler wrote it (I am not doubting the experience at all) but it creeps me out too.

People often write about the past in present tense because every fucking time they remember the incident they fucking hafta relive the fucking pervert breathing their halitosis from behind them. It is normal for other incidents that've caused strong emotions.

Because trauma can manifest in re-living the experience again and again. It is in present tense because she is actively reliving it.

I was wondering why it didn't set well with me. But you're correct. The book was most certainly narrated by Ms. Hutchinson, but was probably written by a ghost writer. A professional ghost writer would want to make things sound as salacious as possible. Sex sells.

Probably for that very reason, to up the creepiness factor.

I appreciated Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony for the Jan. 6 hearings but would never buy or read her book and have no interest in the skin crawling tale of her being groped by Guilianni. FFS. She still is a Republican after all she saw and participated in. She is garbage and I am tired of garbage.

So, f'ing tired of garbage.

Agreed. Everyone said she was so brave, but if she was really brave she would have come forward on Jan 7 or sooner.

I agree. She even stayed aligned with Giuliani and Trump well after the insurrection leaving only after she got a new attorney who knocked some sense into her. She was with them until she wasn't. There are several of these younger, conventionally attractive women who didn't see a problem with thiese men or their shitty political views until the leopards started eating their faces. There's Hutchinson, Sarah Matthews, Alyssa Farah, and Molly Michael plus a few others. They're the same people who if they have an unplanned pregnancy or complications will then cry about the fall of Rioe.

Rudy was a split second from taking his dick out, until Sacha Baron Cohen walked in. This was not only caught on video, but also used in Borat 2.

Yet, no one seemed to care. At least, no one in any position of power.

It's not like he was about to take out Hunter Biden's penis.

Expand full comment

I would not at all be surprised if some RWNJ somehow slipped Hunter Biden's penis into any and all GOP/MAGA sexual assault, even Rudy's "almost assault"

The only thing about this that chills my soul is trying to imagine what the manuscript produced by Ms. Hutchinson must have looked like before the editor at Simon and Schuster got to work on it.

BRRRRRRRRRRRR! It must have been something.

I'm supposed to be a pro but can I write this good? Lemme try:

Droolingly, he waggled his drooping Engine of Lust in my general direction. Gentle reader, I would fain have swooned had not a vision of my sainted mother, be she in Heaven or Far Rockaway, sustained me in the moment of peril. With the speed of a thousand adrenalized bunnies, I scooted away in search of a gallant defender, mayhaps a Mark Meadows, although at my heels I heard a voice saying, "I'm America's mayor. America's fucking mayor, got me?"

Now that I have the hang of it, I could go on like this forever!

He'd had too much to drink that night and kept losing his election. I told him it was OK, believe me, it's OK, but he insisted. "Put on the tape," he bellowed angrily, "The Tape, damn it! YOU KNOW THE ONE!"

I did know the one. I'd seen him watch it many times, and it never failed to get him aroused. I put the well-used VHS cartridge into his old VCR, and as the twin towers descended once again into oblivion on the TV, his far small monolith rose in the opposite direction.

Oh dear. This is too real to be satire.

Expand full comment

There's actually a video clip with music called "I like to watch" which is the planes flying into the twin towers combined with flashes of explicit porn IIRC.

Expand full comment

What kind of song, perhaps a tender love Ballard?

Expand full comment

I'm not going to google it because I am in the office.

Expand full comment

IIRC bad techno with lyrics like

"I like to watch

The planes going in"

It's very "adolescents trying to shock each other".

The Wonkerati could probably write a collective memoir, part "Fanny Hill" part Regnery Press. Call it "Naked Came the Republican."

Of course, ultraviolet though her prose may be, Hutchinson is a victim here and will probably spend the rest of her life pursued by vengeance-driven MAGA diehards, so that's not so much of a joke, is it?

Expand full comment

Hutchinson’s prose bears the mark of quotidian reality.

Nope, but Rudy is the butt here

I wasn’t sure anyone, anywhere, could give PAB a run for his grifty money in the pathetic creeper contest, but wow, Rudy is simply a disgusting scumbag.

I always find it strange when women join the GOP (aside from the wealthy ones obsessed with not paying their taxes). They're like those women who pretend to love sports just so guys will like them.

1. I’m truly, truly sorry that this happened to her. No one deserves this.

2. As a trump supporter she didn’t give a flying fuck when trump did the same - and worse - to other women.

Amen. My thoughts exactly
