The more I read about the WHCD flap the more I think it is grossly overblown. Wolf has been mischaracterized on much of this, including the convoluted "joke" about Sanders remarkable skill in applying eye shadow. Indeed, I think some in the press are smarting, not because of the Sanders comment, but because she took the press behind the woodshed for their role in bringing us Trump in the first place. The Sanders comment was just a handy vehicle for getting back at Wolf - egos being what they are.

Ahh. I don't Twit, but the texts usually show up on my iPad screen. Thanks for explaining. Hekate Apr 2018 #11

Similarly for me. But posted text also means I (and many readers) save time & might skip Twitter. Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2018 #12
