The other day I heard Hannity beating his chest about getting an interview with Bruce Jenner.
My thoughts were about the same as these, from Z-Man:
...Conservative Inc. is now rallying around a man playing the role of a woman. Bruce Jenner is no longer the guy who won an Olympic gold medal fifty years ago. He is now a right-wing transvestite running for governor as a collection of ideas. He is the full expression of conservatism, in that the ideas are wholly divorced from the person. Just as America is just an idea, Bruce Jenner is just an actor performing for the conservatives.
Liberal democracy is like the story of the ventriloquist who descends into madness, thinking his dummy has come alive. Instead of the ventriloquist putting words into the mouth of the dummy, it is the dummy in control. Instead of actors performing the roles required for liberal self-government, we are now in a world where the garishly festooned actors dictate the terms of liberal self-government. The increasingly freakish cast members are writing the script as they invent their roles.
This is why modern America increasingly feels like colonialism. The people in charge are not only alien to us, but they are relatively unknown. A real flesh and blood character with a genuine backstory sticks out like a sore thumb. Even Trump, with all of his flaws, was a real person, which is why he was such an oddity. The overclass has become alien, in part, because it is now run by poorly drawn characters in a poorly written melodrama. America is colonialism, the mini-series....
Bruce Jenner is psychotic. He can call himself 'conservative' but to promote someone with his grave mental disorder as a 'conservative' who should govern a State is madness. I'm looking at you, Hannity.
Not sorry.

Very well said.
Not sorry, either. Any conservative promoting this sick man is not what he thinks he is.
What, Sean, are we conserving? What are we defending? What do conservatives stand for? Tax cuts? A balanced budget? A friendly business environment?
This is madness. They are taking everything and we still don’t understand the rules of this game. They want the beating heart of our culture; our way of life. We want ... what?
This is the last hill; the hill worth dying on.
No.Way.Bruce.Jenner.
Completely ridiculous.
