Boo hoo hoo

Telling it like it is:
“I can’t imagine what this place would be—I can’t imagine what the country would be—with Donald Trump as our president. For the country, it could be four years. For the court, it could be—I don’t even want to contemplate that.”
Princess Trumpie called for the smelling salts:
“I think it’s highly inappropriate that a United States Supreme Court judge gets involved in a political campaign, frankly,” Mr. Trump said. “I think it’s a disgrace to the court and I think she should apologize to the court. I couldn’t believe it when I saw it.”
He's quite a stickler for protocol.
Seriously, I think the thing that exposes Mr Politically Incorrect's insanity (or stupidity) as much as anything is the fact that he believes he can criticize others for behaving inappropriately even as he behaves like a barbarian on a daily basis.
But it does mark him as a perfect wingnut. Their pearl clutching over their rivals doing things they constantly do themselves is one of their fundamental characteristics. It's also the way small children think before they grow out of their narcissism.
Update: And predictably the media and establishment Democrats are calling for the smelling salts a la ACORN and General Betrayus. Apparently it means that Ginsburg is disqualified from the case if the election comes before the Supreme Court.
The election is not supposed to come before the Supreme Court! It shouldn't have in 2000 when Justice Scalia's son was working for the Bush campaign and when Sandra Day O'Connor told people it "was terrible" that the Gore campaign was contesting the election and these same people told us we had to "get over it."
Please ...
