quote, the anecdote to the poise of political correctness. smerconish takes on entertaining outlandish anecdotes about pc gone wild. stories that are hilarious, horrifying and unbelievably true. each chapter was a story. some of them stand the test of time and others do not. the guy who tried to stop ladies night at bars because he said they discriminated against men. i say ridiculous then and still believe it. the honorary guard who said stop saying god bless you as he presented graveside. maybe i was wrong. maybe it was a church state issue. when conservatives began rallying to the pc cause i kind of backed off. it made all of the stories sound partisan. which was never my motivation. what was then pc has more into cancel culture. and conservatives, they own this ground. these sort of stories get lots play on fox. why? because they make for good tv and they fire people up. but i think it s important that all audiences pay attention to them because i think they have politica
the first debate in just two weeks. then the calendar thereafter littered with debates and caucuses, primaries and convention. does that mean that trump should not be tried before the election? no. the cases should proceed as they would were the candidate not a presidential candidate. they should not be postponed because of the election, in which he has chosen to run. but nor should they be expedited. i have noted here before that there s a long and noble tra jigs at doj of not wanting to act in a way that might be perceived as political. five recent attorneys general, republicans ask democrats, have all signed the same memo affirm lg the importance of keeping politics out of criminal charges. a republican in 2008, eric holder in 2012 and loretta lynch in 2016, bill barr in 2020 and mek garland just last year, they have all used the same language, include ing this paragr quote, simply put, politics must play no role in the decisions the federal investigators or prosecutors re
