New York Times Paean to Beto O'Rourke Focuses on His Deadbeat Years in NYC
Newsbusters ^ | February 7, 2019 | P.J. Gladnick

"Stop the Press Before It Profiles Beto O’Rourke Again."

That was the October plea of Jack Shafer in Politico Magazine following numerous adulatory stories on Beto O'Rourke in the press. Unfortunately, they did not heed his request, including his own colleagues at Politico, which continued with worship services at the Church of Beto even after his U.S. Senate election loss in Texas. Among those periodicals continuing the plethora of Beto paeans is the New York Times.

On February 6, the Times published a profile by Matt Flegenheimer of Beto's years in New York City in which he accomplished...stand by...basically nothing. This story is not to be confused with the other New York Times Beto story about appearing in Times Square for an interview with Oprah Winfrey of exactly one day earlier which was also written by Flegenheimer. A reader could be forgiven for wondering if Mr. Flegenheimer has been assigned to the Beto adulation beat at The New York Times.

So basically Beto is now as bored as when he lived in New York so he needs to run for president to break out of his funk.

Kerouac with a gold card in his back pocket. Doesn’t quite work.

We have candidates that were bar tenders, drunk-driving punk-rock drummers...

We have MAJOR Prez enemies who were rodeo clowns, film makers, etc.

Weird times.

There is another version of this saga. Robert O’Rourke smoked dope and floundered aimlessly in the Big Apple. Then he remembered Wendy “Abortion Barbie” Davis, a Democrat who ran for Gov. of Texas, a media darling who gathered millions in campaign funds in her losing effort. He could do that! And he did.

Ever since Obama, every nobody thinks he’s got the same kind of chance to win the presidency as nobody Obama. No need for accomplishments, no need for paying your dues, no need to have had a successful career at all.

Just get some known media outlet to write something nice about you, and, VOILA!!!, instant presidential candidate material. Especially if the nobody is a democrat with idealist and impractical ideas, all covered under the socialism umbrella.

The rodeo clown who wore an Obama mask was fired, banned and never worked in that position again.

His plight became a national news story five years ago.

Pathetic, eh..?

We used to have enemies like Saddam, Hitler:

Now we have rodeo clowns.

Oh yeah, that guy. For a minute there, I thought that you meant that a Rodeo Clown was opposing Pres. Trump. :)

O’Rourke is a psycho. That’s why he is a political “rising star” among the Hollowoody “celebrities”.
