One thing is did: he showed that Democrat voters, when it comes down to it, are actually OK with Joe Biden. And in a way we wouldn't have seen if Biden had zero "primary challengers."

What prompts empty headed billionaires to do shit like run for president or buy Twitter or fly to space? Do these nimrods have nothing better to spend their money on? What is WRONG with rich white guys? There are so many more fun ways to waste your money. Jeez, get some hot chicks and a band and sail your mega yacht somewhere. Build a big trebuchet on it and use it to fling flaming dumpsters into the sea or something. Fill the dumpsters with your money if you have such a burning desire to light cash on fire.

Was finishing a distant 3rd in his home state the honey he needed?

For the record, vinegar and honey is how you start sweet and sour sauce for your pork ribs or chicken. But then, I just finished a bottle of 2020 Reserve Prieure' St. Flaurent Bordeaux [actually an inexpensive crowd-pleaser if you ask me]), so I'm probably just kind of hungry. Get off the stage now, Dean! Where's my sweet and sour pork?

Ta, Evan. Honey, strong mustard, lots of extra virgin olive oil, plenty of crushed (or minced) garlic, either red wine or balsamic vinegar, and a little tahini (for creaminess) and a little sunflower lecithin (for emulsifying) makes my vinaigrette. It's a lovely dressing.

Thank goddess Marianne's hanging in there. Maybe she'll chant her way to the White House...

I don't know if Tabs makes the sun come up, and I don't want to find out.

"The choices are so clear ... we only have two of them, and it's going to be Donald Trump or Joe Biden"

And that was clear months ago, well before he launched his vanity campaign.

Phillips tweeted yesterday that his wife Annalise “has always found I respond better to honey than vinegar when she asks me to drop something. Just sayin…”

That sounds vaguely threatening. Yikes.

Also, the fucking nerve of this guy to think he deserves honey to entice him to leave a race in which his ass was kicked by both Marianne Williamson and "none of the above."

Man, considering that photo at the top of this article, I REALLY REALLY could have done without that "honey v vinegar" euphemism.

Annalise “has always found I respond better to honey than vinegar when she asks me to drop something. Just sayin…” (An awkward and not at all charming tweet? Yes.)

Thank you for your umm, service Annalise. Women have certainly given “Boebert jobs” for worse reasons. We salute you.

No, not that kind of salute. Get your mind out of the gutter people.

I'd be surprised if Dean didn't infantilize his wife. He's old enough to be her father.

Yes, this is his second marriage. Why do you ask?

Vinegar in his honey? Sounds like a great new salad dressing to me. Make some more millions, and donate them to Joe.

Um, if Dean Phillips did show his face in public, I'm guessing 99% of us wouldn't know who he is. What's he look like?

Like a lesser Baldwin inherited a bunch of money and bought a seat in Congress with it.
