Bear with me if you please: when I was a fledgling dentist in center city Philadelphia, there was an individual who arguably was the most powerful autocrat in the profession, dean of a dental school, enormous international prestige, almost unbelievable and uncanny political skills, brilliant in his approach to handling almost any situation which presented itself. The guy was in his own particular way a genius and had spent a lifetime creating a scaffolding of support and obeisance which was impenetrable and it was professional suicide to go against this guy. Ruthless with a lifetime memory of being wronged perfectly describes his modus operandi.

Well, eventually…he died. And that whole system he created, all the do-loops and Venn diagrams were within weeks, GONE. with the exception of a few scholarships and a University chair endowments which nobody but nobody gives a damn about, it’s like he never existed.

Young dentists educated in Philly and the surround, maybe half know his name, virtually none of them recognize his enormous power within the profession. Such is the lifespan of the ruling class.

And this is what is going to happen to Orangina himself. He will have no legacy the way Saint Ronald apparently has no legacy which present-day Conservatives will acknowledge.

And then the real horrific stories will begin to emerge, and the pseudo-emperor-wannabe’s story will disappear into the mist of dead politics and some other jerkoff will emerge as the Savior of America. He always did and he always will. And it will always be a “he”. Make no mistake.

When is the last time you heard a Republican mention Nixon, Dole, Bush, Bush the Younger? Never. They never existed. They were fundamentally unappealing people whom they lionized temporarily and the same thing will happen with this guy. He will also become an Unmentionable.
