The horribly failed yet somehow amusing TV celebrity makeover of Bill Barr
Come on, you've gotta admit...the spectacle of Bill Barr scrambling around for an escape hatch had some entertainment value, in a sick sort of way.
And, for anyone who felt that he hadn't sealed the deal with his four page "summary" of the 400+ page Mueller report, that paved the way for Trump to endlessly crow "TOTAL exoneration, NO collusion, NO obstruction" (even though the Mueller report documented fourteen separate instances of obstruction), hey...he's WORKIN' HERE! Give the boy a break. Or not.
Chuck Todd tried to give him a break yesterday, when he sat with Peggy Noonan and discussed how Barr might be finding his moral compass in all of this. But you know Chuck...what a SCAMP!
When it comes to Barr covering his ass, to paraphrase Amity Island Chief Martin Brody, "He's gonna need a bigger tarp."
Still, it's been all kinds of fun watching him tell ABC News that he "can't do his job" if Trump is tweeting the blow-by-blow.
He can't "do his job"...pleasuring Trump's every impulse and whim...if he can't do it under the cover of darkness.
There's a tragic level of desperation attached to watching him pretend that if it oinks and rolls in the mud, it ain't a pig.
