Not the Onion: Roger Kimball, “Donald Trump as Pericles,” in some Trump-linked online rag called “American Greatness”
Cue Bruce Gold from Heller’s classic satire on ink-stained, pseudo-intellectual wretches on the make, Good as Gold.
I think Trump sexually excites Kimball—soft, flabby writers often get turned on by Men Who Kill. Not just rightwingers, mind you. Good liberals, too.
I’m not joking; here’s a direct quote:
“It’s a good thing that Pericles did not have to suffer under the scrutiny the chest-less, politically correct ditto-heads that rule our media and educational system today. Or perhaps I should say, it is a good thing for them that they did not have to suffer under the frank and manly self-confidence of Pericles.”
Methinks it’s Kimball who wants to suffer under the frank and manly self-confidence of a thickly be-chested Trump. And/or Pericles. While, of course, wearing his cute little “I’m the next George Will” bowtie. Around his neck or...wherever.
You can read the rest of this crap here. This fucking rag used to employ Michael Anton, whose deep intellectual contributions you can find a taste of here.
