Will Bunch of the Philadelphia Inquirer wrote a column we wish all the members of the media had to read word-for-word, out loud, before they could log on to their computer systems.
Since that seems unlikely, we're giving you a multi-post thread that reproduces the column in its entirety.
...saving #America by giving chief of staff Leo McGarry the best words to convince an ailing #President Bartlet that it’s time to step down.
The soft clacking of these keyboard commandos turned into a stampede as the nation’s pundits, its editorial-page poobahs, mega-rich but anonymous donors, & Democratic horse whisperers competed to outdo each other on The Daily Rip or in “the paper of record,” or wherever they thought the actual frail president, Joe #Biden, might be paying attention.
Justice Sonia #Sotomayor, one of the three liberal naysayers, read her blistering minority opinion from the bench Monday morning, arguing that the #court’s finding that a #president performing official acts can be immune from criminal prosecution “effectively creates a #law-free zone around the president, upsetting the status quo that has existed since the founding.” She ended with the words, “with fear for our #democracy, I dissent.”
And look, I’m not going to argue that #Biden’s health is not an issue. His #debate performance was troubling, but I also think those of us determined not to see Donald Trump become #president again should take a deep breath — even if that’s not the #clickbait headline that many are eager to write.
What does a #President do if the #WhiteHouse is uninhabitable?
Rent a new house! That's what #JamesMadison did on Sept. 8, 1814, moving into the #OctagonHouse after British troops burned the White House.
