PJ: Trump ‘Double Agent,’ Cruz ‘Dragging’ ‘Social Issues,’ ‘Hate Immigration Stuff’
Breitbart Television ^ | December 26, 2015 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 12/26/2015 5:02:29 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Author and political satirist P.J. O’Rourke stated Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump “will finally be exposed as a double agent,” criticized GOP presidential candidate Texas Senator Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for “dragging in all these tired, sick, old social issues” and said of Cruz and Trump, “I really do hate it with this immigration stuff” on Tuesday’s broadcast of “CNN Tonight.”

O’Rourke said, “Cruz could actually get…nominated. I’m assuming that Trump will finally be exposed as a double agent, and will have to be stuck in a Chappaqua safe house, or wherever Hillary has got Bill stashed. But Cruz could actually get the nomination, and that would just be a disaster for the Republican Party. He’s dragging in all these tired, sick, old social issues, get out of here. Stop it with the stuff about the gay marriage, stop it with the — I’m a 68-year-old guy with three kids, I’m supposed to raise my own children? Come on, I need immigration.”

He added, “bring in a boring guy. Okay, Republican candidates are supposed to be boring. We’ve got several that’ll do just fine, there’s Jeb. Kasich is a perfect example, a good boring governor of a purple state, very popular governor of a purple state, lots of experience in the House of Representatives, and he’s polling at like no percent.”(continued)

O’Rourke continued, “that’s what being a Republican is all about is low energy. We want a smaller government, a more efficient government, a government that doesn’t poke its nose into everybody’s business. We would like the government to go, not away, but to go back to the other end of the room, and sit down.”

Doesn’t sound like the P.J. I know. Sounds more like Romney or McCain.

PJ has always been a funny guy.

You have to read between his lines to get a lot of his schtick.

I remember when PJ was a sensible Conservative voice. This latest sounds like he’s snorted a few too many lines.

This reads like parody to me ...
I'm a 68-year-old guy with three kids, I'm supposed to raise my own children? Come on, I need immigration.
Reminds me of the SoCal guy during WWII when his Japanese gardener was put in a camp. "Where's Sujie? Where's the gardener? They locked him up? Hell, man, I can't water!"

It takes a heart of stone to read Parliament of Whores without laughing. The same goes for Give War a Chance.

He is satirist. A lot of people are not in the mood for a satirist in todays America.

I’m the Republican establishment now. And it was a sad and burdensome thing to find out. And I wish I knew what to do.

He used to be funny, 30 years ago. Spent too much time drinking with NPR types, I guess.

Utterly incapable of realizing that the rest of the Republican Party and most of the country has a different worldview than he does.

Too bad.

Neither of them appeal to me. And O’Rourke has never been funny. That’s why he’s called a humorist and not a comedian.
