Dowd: Networks cave, Trump profits and satirists feast

By Maureen Dowd / The New York Times

We haven’t heard this much talk about the presidential anatomy since the other guy in the Jeffrey Epstein files was in the Oval.

President Donald Trump, a master at minimizing others, is now being literally minimized on “South Park” by the crass and fearless creators of the cartoon.

I could have told Trump that it’s best not to provoke brilliant satirists. I learned that lesson the hard way 20 years ago.

-snip-

It was a valuable lesson. Don’t mess with satirists. They’ll always have the last say, and it will be blistering.

Her snarky and oh, so cute nasty style passes for wit, but she’s just another arrogant asshole.
