I think we have glimpsed a new phase
in the degeneration in underlying
pretexts for the President's holding
office, in the interruptions wrought
by the death of John McCain, in the
neurotic cycle of weekend tweets we
know to expect. There is not, this
singular disturbance reveals, of our
sordid dependence on his madness, an
emergency confronting this country
which requires enduring him. Look,
people say, we got through it fine
without him. As he noticeably ap-
preciates, the validity of that im-
pression is a beginning of the end.
It isn't necessary to alter one's
rapture in his leadership. It's
necessary to see it's superfluous-
ness. The only people who quit co-
caine, don't deny it's fabulous.
It's the same with the will to
strike back, a will to dominate.
The people to whom the President
is the least useful, are those
he fails incessantly to resemble,
insulting them in broad daylight.
His grasp will not be severed.
Its rot will be just as sudden.
