When Fat Pigs Fly (and bimbos, dogs and slobs)

The Megyn Kelly-El Donaldo brouhaha should not have surprised anyone

Trump says what's on his mind, no matter how curdled that thought may be, and Megyn Kelly, esq, banked on that and set her trap.

The #1 crime today is racism, and none of the dirt-diggers could find any evidence of that in Trump's background, so Fox's shiniest star went after the next biggest sin, sexism.  There are old stories of The Donald calling certain women he was feuding with names like fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and bimbos.

Kelley took those sexist words and spent weeks patiently concocting a stink bait from hell.  She dangled it at the debate, and Trump didn't just nibble, he chomped down, swallowed, pulled the line out as far as he could go, skipping over the waves as he went, until he got himself tangled up in the mangroves at low tide.

"You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes," Trump told CNN's Don Lemon on Friday night. "Blood coming out of her wherever."

Megyn Kelly is a bully, and a typical one.  She throws her femininity out there, softens up the victim, then sticks the knife in.  When the victim hits back, she drops the Zena warrior shtick, pouts her lower lip out and puts on the little-girl-pushed-down-by-the-mean-bully act.  I'm not knocking her, it's an old passive-aggressive game played by all kinds of people, men and women, to torment their enemies.

Megyn 1, El Donaldo 0

Donald Trump may be a smart businessman, but Kelly bagged and tagged him and drove off with his testicles hanging from her rearview mirror.  He does not belong in the political arena.

Did he not see Katie Couric "attack" poor Sarah Palin?  Has he not seen all the other media "ambushes" of conservative politicians?  Doesn't he realize that the media is not there for him and the politicians on the stage, but that the news media, like Trump Inc,  is a business that must make a buck?

Megyn Kelly:  The Next Bill O'Reilly, only Prettier and Smarter

That debate wasn't about helping us sort through all those wonderful GOP candidates.  It was about Fox News making money, creating buzz and burnishing the their newest superstar and next Bill O'Reilly.  Good 'ol Bill won't be around forever.  His creaking demographic is trending up toward the mid 80's, and Hannity's teddy bear tough guy act is stale, so they need a fresh, smart, beautiful woman to get that younger, more female demographic.  The fact that she has a trophy case stuffed with man-trophies only makes her more attractive.

The press is what it is.  If you can't deal with it, don't waste everyone's time trying to get our votes.  Can't handle the press?  You're done.  Get off the stage, or as El Donaldo would say...

You're Fired!
