The Morning Rant

Questions Tara Reade Should Be Asking Herself:

Where did #MeToo go?

Why have no Democrats publicly denounced Joe Biden?

Why is loud #MeToo supporter Stacey Abrams actively lobbying to be Joe Biden's running mate?

Why did the Democrats listen to Christine Blaisey Ford, but not me?

Why are Democrats smearing me as a Russian agent?

Why are male feminists creepy?

Why is Fox News the only media outlet letting me tell my story?

It *is* rape when a Democrat does it, right?

If the politician I'm working for is down with the women's struggle, should I just let him stick his fingers up my hoohah?

Why has the #MeToo movement mostly brought down Democrats?

If there has to be collateral damage in the struggle for women's rights, what if the damage is me?

Why am I just "a different news judgment moment"?

Who Dis:

For the 'Ettes:

Monday's celebs: I chose some supporting actors from the 1946 film adaptation of Raymond Chandler's detective novel The Big Sleep. It's odd to think that an obvious beauty like Peggy Knudsen would be relegated to playing mostly 2nd and even 3rd-tier supporting roles, but that was her career. Also character actor John Ridgley whom, if you recognized him at all, it was probably as "oh, *that* guy." Both Ridgely and Knudson died relatively young, neither one reaching 60 years.
