End of Week Presidential Campaign Items
HILLARY HEADED FOR THE HOT SEAT
The FBI is reportedly about to interview Hillary. Possibly tomorrow.
SMOD 2016!
The Sweet Meteor of Death is almost neck and neck with Trump in this poll among the 18-29 crowd and independents.
NEWTIE SAYS BAH! TO FREE TRADE
Newt Gingrich helped pass NAFTA and has supported free trade for decades. Today he said Trump’s right on trade.
Former Speaker Newt Gingrich, under consideration as Donald Trump’s running mate, is dropping his decades-long support of free trade deals and picking up Trump’s strongly protectionist position.
“I basically agree with Trump’s speech on trade,” Gingrich said in an email to POLITICO on Friday.
At lunch I was telling a colleague I think Gingrich is the VP pick and that it’s been decided for weeks; I hadn’t even seen this story. Now I’m even more convinced Newtie is the guy. As Allahpundit says: Trumpism corrupts.
SARAH PALIN: NEVER TRUMPERS ARE RATS
Sarah Palin says Republicans who don’t support Trump are Republicans Against Trump, or “RATs.” Get it? So come on and join us! I guess is the message. She also said: “You’re either with us or against us!” Guess what, darlin’? There is a third option.
TRUMP IS PRESIDENTIAL AFTER ALL!
Finally: the Donald bought a Tim Tebow-signed helmet for $12 grand with other people’s money, showing his qualifications for the presidency by demonstrating his skill in spending other people’s money in foolish ways. WaPo:
Did Donald Trump violate IRS rules, by using a charity’s money to buy himself a signed football helmet?
Four years ago, at a charity fundraiser in Palm Beach, Donald Trump got into a bidding war at the evening’s live auction. The items up for sale: A Denver Broncos helmet, autographed by then-star quarterback Tim Tebow, and a Tebow jersey.
Trump won, eventually, with a bid of $12,000. Afterward, he posed with the helmet. His purchase made gossip-column news: a flourish of generosity, by a mogul with money to burn. “The Donald giveth, and The Donald payeth,” wrote the Palm Beach Daily News. “Blessed be the name of The Donald.”
But Trump didn’t actually pay with his own money.
Instead, the Susan G. Komen organization — the breast-cancer nonprofit that hosted the party — got a $12,000 payment from another nonprofit, the Donald J. Trump Foundation.
Trump himself sent no money. (In fact, a Komen spokeswoman said, Trump has never given a personal gift of cash to the Komen organization.) He paid the bill with money from a charity he founded in 1987, but which is largely stocked with other people’s money. Trump is the foundation’s president. But, at the time of the auction, Trump had given none of his own money to the foundation for three years running.
The helmet is now worth about 400 bucks. He makes such great deals. He really does. Everybody says so. The deals are so, so great. That I can tell you.
Also Loretta talked about her meeting with Bill. She’s totally gonna accept their recommendation. Except, for no good reason I can discern she’s not going to recuse herself.
Get back, Loretta.
Patterico (86c8ed) — 7/1/2016 @ 8:52 pmSo I’m really psyched about the 2016 USFL series. How do you think Trump’s New Jersey Generals are going to do?
Beldar (fa637a) — 7/1/2016 @ 9:31 pmI do like Tim Tebow better than Doug Flutie, but not as well as Jim Kelly, whom Trump tried to acquire by merging the Generals into the Houston Outlaws. Except the league folded before they took a snap.
Beldar (fa637a) — 7/1/2016 @ 9:33 pmIt would totally be better if we have a President who takes money from the Saudis.
Cruz Supporter (102c9a) — 7/1/2016 @ 9:37 pmDoug Flutie was actually a proven QB in the NFL for a number of years. Tebow doesn’t have half the passing ability that Flutie had! Come on!
Cruz Supporter (102c9a) — 7/1/2016 @ 9:39 pmSo the helmet is really only worth $400? Then that means it really was a charitable donation so Trump was using his foundation properly.
cugel (bf4ad2) — 7/1/2016 @ 9:41 pmthe way tebow was treated was criminal, instead they lavished attention on sanchez, a shallow hack,

narciso (732bc0) — 7/1/2016 @ 9:53 pmOnly because Tebow’s star fell almost immediately after Trump’s purchase.
Patterico (86c8ed) — 7/1/2016 @ 10:00 pmthey’ll promote any hack, and dismiss players of real talent, not to mention conviction,

Trump haters – Hope your toilet cleaner does not rape your family before he mows your lawn.
mg (31009b) — 7/2/2016 @ 1:50 amHmm.
My toilet cleaner, unfortunately, is me, assisted by Lysol. I do pay someone to mow my lawn, and it’s worth every penny; our relationship extends back 12 years now. I’m thinking after this many years, he’s unlikely to rape my family.
If I were worried about someone raping my family, I’d worry a lot more about a rich guy who got sent to military school as a disciplinary problem before he was out of high school, but even there was famous for buying women’s attention. I’d worry about a guy who’s a self-admitted — indeed, self-bragged — serial adulterer, philanderer, and exploiter of women. I’d worry about a guy who started a whole ‘nuther international beauty pageant for women with obvious boob jobs. I’d worry about a guy who is pals with Bill Clinton even though he now finds it convenient to describe Bubba as a sexual predator: This is a knowedgeable accusation, rare for Trump.
So your point, again, mg … ?
Beldar (fa637a) — 7/2/2016 @ 4:10 amI personally am not worried about hillary’s meeting with the fbi. She NEVER remembers anything.
Jim (a9b7c7) — 7/2/2016 @ 5:42 amOr the guy with the pending child rape allegations. Let’s not forget that, Trump supporters.
Don’t worry. I’ll keep reminding you. I know you think only Mexicans can rape you – but Donald Trump has shown that he can rape you too.

Trump had a YUUGE! week. After 26 consecutive polls showed him trailing Clinton, Rasmussen showed him ahead. Not just that, the Rasmussen result pushed the RCP average to now show him at 39.8%, only 4 points (or 10%) below his all time record high.
Did you know one in twenty polls is expected to be an outlier?

It’s funny to hear the Trumpism victims complaining about illegal immigrants. Nobody mows my lawn except me, but according to Mr. mg’s logic, it is Mr. Trump who needs to worry about his family. In his own words, just 2 1/2 years ago:
–
“So at his New York penthouse office atop Trump Tower, he convened a meeting.
Trump ushered in a pair of men — one to talk about the awards and a Democratic strategist who works with nonprofits — and three young DREAMer activists.
…..
Trump alternated between making no sense and broad ignorance on the issue, said Gaby Pacheco, a prominent national activist and the third DREAMer in the meeting.
…..
You know, the truth is I have a lot of illegals working for me in Miami,” he told them, using the term for undocumented immigrants those in the meeting found offensive. “You know in Miami, my golf course is tended by all these Hispanics — if it wasn’t for them my lawn wouldn’t be the lawn it is; it’s the best lawn,” Pacheco recalled Trump saying.
Trump said he knew the work of undocumented people is what makes his golf courses and hotels great.
…..
“You’ve convinced me,” Trump said to the delight of the activists in the room.
“We all smiled at each other and said, ‘Wow, we did it, we got this guy to change his mind,’” Pacheco said.”

A part of me hopes that this is all part of Newt’s master plan to invoke the 25th Amendment (this booting Trump on the ground of mental disability) and become Prez. But Trump would staff his cabinet with sycophants, so it wouldn’t work (and this is all conterfactual, because Trump won’t crack 40% in the general anyway.)

Brian (c88b97) — 7/2/2016 @ 9:00 amExcerpt:
“…..
That this tough-guy, get-mad-and-get-even approach has gained him an increasingly large and enthusiastic following has probably surprised Trump as much as anyone else. Trump himself is simply and quite literally an egomaniac. But the phenomenon he has created and now leads has become something larger than him, and something far more dangerous.
Republican politicians marvel at how he has “tapped into” a hitherto unknown swath of the voting public. But what he has tapped into is what the founders most feared when they established the democratic republic: the popular passions unleashed, the “mobocracy.” Conservatives have been warning for decades about government suffocating liberty. But here is the other threat to liberty that Alexis de Tocqueville and the ancient philosophers warned about: that the people in a democracy, excited, angry and unconstrained, might run roughshod over even the institutions created to preserve their freedoms. As Alexander Hamilton watched the French Revolution unfold, he feared in America what he saw play out in France — that the unleashing of popular passions would lead not to greater democracy but to the arrival of a tyrant, riding to power on the shoulders of the people.
This phenomenon has arisen in other democratic and quasi-democratic countries over the past century, and it has generally been called “fascism.” Fascist movements, too, had no coherent ideology, no clear set of prescriptions for what ailed society. “National socialism” was a bundle of contradictions, united chiefly by what, and who, it opposed; fascism in Italy was anti-liberal, anti-democratic, anti-Marxist, anti-capitalist and anti-clerical. Successful fascism was not about policies but about the strongman, the leader (Il Duce, Der Führer), in whom could be entrusted the fate of the nation. Whatever the problem, he could fix it. Whatever the threat, internal or external, he could vanquish it, and it was unnecessary for him to explain how. Today, there is Putinism, which also has nothing to do with belief or policy but is about the tough man who single-handedly defends his people against all threats, foreign and domestic.

None of this sounds at all familiar, of course. Full article at:

Luke Stywalker,
Thank you for providing another illustration of the Master Persuader’s skill in assessing the credulity and gullibility of a target audience prior to making the pitch necessary to win approval, no matter how temporary, and mark another ‘Deal Made’ in his ledger. I believe the representations made to the New Jersey Casino Control Commission to gain the license necessary to bankrupt the Taj Mahal to be the superior example of the skilled use of mendacity to achieve a temporary objective but the DREAMer meeting certainly belongs on the extraordinarily long list of occasions where Trump effectively used his undeniable skills.

C’mon, p*ssies – own your candidate.
Leviticus (3068a2) — 7/2/2016 @ 3:24 pmTrump reminds me of Nelson Rockefeller, another New York establishment elite who loved big government when it suited his personal vision. He was the first RINO: Socially liberal in an era when the GOP electorate was conservative or he probably would have been the GOP nominee in 1964 (instead of Goldwater), and a wealthy, flamboyant man, who especially loved spending taxpayer money on big public ventures.
Like Trump, Nelson Rockefeller was also fond of branding and deal-making, and he was the ultimate establishment figure. Trump was in his 20’s when Rockefeller was a wheeling-and-dealing New York Governor, and Trump was aware of Rockefeller’s lavish programs and unguided missile-style.
If you want more GOP establishment, Trump is your man.
DRJ (15874d) — 7/2/2016 @ 3:29 pmAt least Rockefeller mouthed conservative principles, even if he didn’t follow tgrough. Trump doesn’t even know what they are without a teleprompter.

Where’s your video of Trump doing the nasty. I mean if he’s going to tie a girl to a bed in front of one, two, three, … who knows how many witnesses, which is a felony in and of itself, then proceed to rape her in front of one, two, three,… who knows how many witnesses, then of course he would have no reason for apprehension if there were a camera crew present.

However, I understand why some people will vote for Trump. I encourage you to keep making your best arguments, although I don’t think the best argument for Trump is to effectively tell people that don’t support him to “Shut up already.”
There are a handful of people who comment here that don’t want to vote for Trump, and a handful that may even vote for Hillary. I’m curious: Why is it right to continually comment about Hillary — even though there are very few people here who plan to vote for her — but it’s wrong to comment about Trump?

Patterico (86c8ed) — 7/2/2016 @ 9:22 pmJeh Johnson had nothing to do with Snowden. Janet Napolitano was Secretary of DHS for one thing, and the NSA is not under DHS for another. It is under the “least untruthful” Director of National Intelligence.

It might not be that, but it might be some people thinking that Trump has a 50-50 chance of naming a very unsuitable person to any position, (not a 90-10 chance of naming somebody bad) so that if somebody good (like themselves) is offered a position, especially if it something that doesn’t require Senate confirmation, he had better take it even if he’d ratgher not disturb his life. And also that’s it’s good to have somebody suitable to take over in case of impeachment.
Even for jobs requiring Senate conformation, how many nominations can the Senate be expected to turn down? You can have a Harriet Myers rejection once in a while, but for one quarter or one half of all the appointments?
And as for Trump having a low probability of being elected, this, of course, deals with that contigency, whatever its probability, and patriotism might demand that that possibility should not ignored or discounted.

papertiger (c2d6da) — 7/2/2016 @ 11:54 pmIt is neither right nor wrong to comment about either and I apologize (seems I do that a lot here) if I gave the impression I thought it was.
Now to answer why it is “right to continually comment about Hillary”. I was under the impression this is a conservative blog. Trump is not a conservative but Hillary! is the antithesis of everything that is conservative. Do you see the difference? Trump may be 99% not conservative but Hillary is 100% radical leftist. Get it? Hillary! is being investigated by the FBI and Loretta Lynch is meeting clandestinely with Bill Clinton showing the depth of corruption is so bad they think they can get away with it and the conservatives are worried if Trump used the “N” word in 1963.
The conservatives are making Hillarys! case for her. If you’re a conservative and don’t like Trump you should ignore him but to actively try and defeat him allies you to Hillary!. And if the enemy of my enemy is my friend then the friend of my enemy must be my enemy too. Which means after the election when the dust settles the conservatives will no longer be able to count on each other to defeat the higher evil. That puts the left in charge.
I’m not naïve. I realize after sixty years of leftist education in public schools, leftist brainwashing from Hollywood and on the news and leftist culture pushed on TV and now even in commercials our nation is in decline. I was hoping it would not turn into a sewer of leftist ideology in my lifetime. The eight years of Obama got the ball rolling. Eight years of Hillary! will add the momentum and eight years of Chelsea will be the third nail on the cross.
Did I mention how bad Trump is? He is a horrible person. You know he went bankrupt four times? And as nk points out he just loves those Slovenian women. Trump. Bad.

The GOP is already halfway there and it won’t take much to push it to where we conservatives can’t get it back.
I would rather try to save the GOP, but it was born because the Whigs wouldn’t learn and maybe that will also be true of today’s Republican Party.
DRJ (15874d) — 7/3/2016 @ 1:23 pmDRJ,
I think we have to be more concerned about saving the country than in saving the GOP.
Unfortunately, Presidential elections are not about electing a great conservative — it’s about stemming the tide of the left.
Most Americans just want to watch football, eat cheeseburgers, get barbed wire tattoos, and buy paper towels in bulk at Sam’s Club. They’re not animated about discussing ideas espoused by Edmund Burke. By the way, which NFL team did Edmund Burke play for? (LOL)
We want to delay the punitive consequences of left wing insanity as much as possible. I wish Lincoln, Garfield, Cleveland, McKinley, Coolidge, or Reagan was on the ballot this November. But none of them is.
Trump’s more conservative than Hillary! so I’m voting for him. That doesn’t mean he’s “conservative,” per se, rather it just means he’s MORE conservative than Hillary!.
I wish Cruz, Rubio, Fiorina, Jindal, or Walker had become the nominee. Then, at least if we were to win in November, we would win with a conservative.
Cruz Supporter (102c9a) — 7/3/2016 @ 2:01 pmCS, if we can’t save the GOP, how do we save the country?
Steve57 (ecac13) — 7/3/2016 @ 2:06 pmI am concerned about the country but it will take 10-20 years for a new party to get power, and I don’t think we have that long.
DRJ (15874d) — 7/3/2016 @ 2:06 pmI am no longer a Republican but I want to save the GOP because I think we need it to save the country.
DRJ (15874d) — 7/3/2016 @ 2:08 pmIf you look at the Democratic Party and the Republican Party over the past 20 years, both have become more moderate/liberal and more beholden to special interests, which leads to corruption. Yes, the Democrats are socialists but the Republicans haven’t offered a conservative alternative. They don’t look that different to the average voter, and Trump will blur that line even more.
DRJ (15874d) — 7/3/2016 @ 2:14 pmhere’s the cunning plan
i’ll go slow so you can get it all down in your trapper keeper
ok number one (1) we elect stinkypig and validate the idea of failmerica as a lawless despicable cowardly slutstate
then number two (2) harvardtrash ted and his harvardtrash sacky waddle up on their stout chubby thighs for to get elected
followed by number three (3) the people what voted two terms of food stamp and one term of stinkypig say oops yes yes we actually wanted to vote for these charmless harvardtrash kim davis butt snufflers
and bingo bango number four (4) America wins 90S DANCE PARTY!!!
happyfeet (28a91b) — 7/3/2016 @ 2:21 pmDRJ, I like the cut of your jib.
Steve57 (ecac13) — 7/3/2016 @ 2:32 pmMuch better to elect Trump and hope he decides to be someone he isn’t, right hf?
DRJ (15874d) — 7/3/2016 @ 2:46 pmthe president is just a teensy tiny part of what you elect when you elect a president
but you know that
you’re just mad cause your gay marriage hating fetus humping harvardtrash teddy-pie got rejected
you’re having yourself a nice good pout
happyfeet (28a91b) — 7/3/2016 @ 2:54 pmEnabling the Democrats to hold the White House and all of the federal agencies for the next four years is not going to advance the Republican party.
Cruz Supporter (102c9a) — 7/3/2016 @ 2:58 pmMany of you are looking for Grover Cleveland or Calvin Coolidge or Ronald Reagan to become the nominee.
I would LOVE for that to come to fruition, but the reality is that we just need to try and stem the left wing tide every four years as best we can.
Electing Trump will stem the left wing tide BETTER than electing Hillary.
stem the tide yes yes
happyfeet (28a91b) — 7/3/2016 @ 2:59 pmI don’t want to advance the GOP. I don’t want to save it. I want to use it.
DRJ (15874d) — 7/3/2016 @ 3:00 pm4-8 years of Trump will make the GOP unusable for conservatives. It will be an entrenched party of corrupt elites by then — grateful for anything that lines their pockets. It’s already halfway there but give them a President they can own and they won’t care about winning for another 10-20 years, and they will never care about principles again.
DRJ (15874d) — 7/3/2016 @ 3:05 pmthat sounds like a rationalization
after almost a whole year of all that lurid anti-pp abortion porn around here
suddenly letting stinkypig pack the court with naral judges is just a refreshing slurpylicious interlude
principles lol
happyfeet (28a91b) — 7/3/2016 @ 3:09 pmOne positive I see in Trump is that he says he cares about immigration. Of course, he didn’t in the past and he’s recently changed his mind (again), so it’s hard to believe he will do anything except punt to Congress and say he tried.
DRJ (15874d) — 7/3/2016 @ 3:11 pmTrump wants judges like his sister. His pro-choice sister.
DRJ (15874d) — 7/3/2016 @ 3:12 pmWhy are you so angry, happyfeet?
DRJ (15874d) — 7/3/2016 @ 3:14 pmDRJ, you actually wrote in #196,
“I would rather try to save the GOP,…”
————–
Look, somebody is going to become the next President. As Tom Sowell says, “It’s going to be someone whose name appears on the ballot.”
Cruz Supporter (102c9a) — 7/3/2016 @ 3:15 pmOutside of something catastrophic happening at either (or both) of the conventions, it’s going to be President Trump or President Clinton. We can all do the song and dance about hoping that Joe Blow of the American Constitution Federalist Society Conservative Party (LOL) shocks the world, but that’s not going to happen. It’s effectively a binary choice; Trump or Clinton.
I wish it were Cruz or Rubio or Fiorina or Jindal or Walker VS Clinton, but it’s not.
he gave a list of the judges he’ll nominate
she’s not on it
but we know for sure who stinkypig will nominate oh yes oh yes we do we do
she’s a come get them wiggle giggles she’s a come get them all!
if only there was something we could have done to stop her
the good people will sigh
happyfeet (28a91b) — 7/3/2016 @ 3:16 pmCS,
I’m sorry I wrote that because I only want to save the GOP to use it. I am not a Republican. I don’t give money to Republicans anymore unless they are conservatives. I don’t give the GOP money and I never will again, even if Cruz or someone like him is someday the nominee.
This is about the country to me, not any party.
DRJ (15874d) — 7/3/2016 @ 3:19 pmif you put her in the oval
if she gets that gig
you’ll never get rid
of the stinkypig
happyfeet (28a91b) — 7/3/2016 @ 3:24 pmDidn’t Patterico write about the binary choice argument? He did.
DRJ (15874d) — 7/3/2016 @ 3:24 pmSounds like a classical Trump supporter to me.

narciso (732bc0) — 7/3/2016 @ 3:34 pm#216 DRJ,
I’m for the country first…that’s why I’m willing to vote for Trump over Clinton — because he will stem the tide of the left better than Hillary will.
Cruz Supporter (102c9a) — 7/3/2016 @ 3:38 pmYou guys can reject the binary choice all you want and choose to talk about sitting out the election or for voting for Joe Blow of the American Constitution Federalist Purity Party, but that person’s not going to win. Voting for Joe Blow will only help Hillary get closer to an electoral college majority. I know there’s that sentiment that by voting for the American Constitution Federalist Purity Party candidate it somehow sends a Peter Finch message to Reince Preibus and Karl Rove that you’re “mad as hell, and not going to take it anymore!” but it’s only interpreted as, “oh, those fringe voters would probably find fault with Calvin Coolidge.”

narciso (732bc0) — 7/3/2016 @ 4:02 pmOne of the Trumpkin shills apparently quibbles with my sentence above in which I said that “I’d worry about a guy who started a whole ‘nuther international beauty pageant for women with obvious boob jobs.” He points out that Trump merely bought a whole ‘nuther international beauty pageant for women with obvious boob jobs. In fact, under his leadership, the pageant famously subsidized the boob jobs — just google Carrie Prejean.
I know, I know — subsidizing young women’s boob jobs isn’t necessarily rapey-creepy. It’s strip-club creepy, and exploitative as hell, though, and the guy who cuts my lawn, who usually brings one of his adult kids or his wife to help, doesn’t strike me as even strip-club creepy, so I’m still more worried about Trump around my family. 😀
Beldar (fa637a) — 7/3/2016 @ 4:59 pmWhat do you bet that one of Trump’s companies wrote off the boob jobs they bought for those contestants as a business expense, so that Trump could surround himself with beautiful young women with fake boobs at taxpayer expense?
Beldar (fa637a) — 7/3/2016 @ 5:02 pmit’s good for to have the best breasts you can, when they’re an important part of who you are
I get that
Mr. Trump gets that
lots of women get that too
it’s a fallen whirl, but you can still have perky breasts
and thank god america Mr. Trump for that
aspiration is quintessentially american after all, at least it was awhile back
meanwhile stinkypig laughs at rape victims
it’s astonishing
happyfeet (28a91b) — 7/3/2016 @ 5:27 pmMeanwhile Donald Trump rapes victims.
Leviticus (3068a2) — 7/3/2016 @ 5:32 pmno he doesn’t that’s a complete misnomer
happyfeet (28a91b) — 7/3/2016 @ 5:33 pmCruz Supporter, instead of mocking DRJ with incessant (LOL)s and deep observations about how many people are on the ballot, read her comments more seriously. She’s explaining her point of view in a painstaking fashion I personally agree with but rarely bother to explain anymore.
The GOP is and of itself is just politicians, and unworthy of your devotion. The GOP can be purposeful to improve or preserve our nation, and that’s all it’s good for. It is crystal clear that Trump leading the GOP is contrary to that purpose. Those that support him aren’t getting beyond the “democrats are the boogeyman” aspect of team politics. I’m not saying that means you should vote against Trump. Both candidates are terrible and there are a lot of reasons to vote against both of them. But DRJ’s taking the long view and it’s better to understand her view than to mock it just to repeat the same thing you say in every single thread like you are rooting for the Cubs.

happyfeet (28a91b) — 7/3/2016 @ 5:37 pmJust now on the street where I live.
Volunteers put up American flags on the front lawns of every house on our block, both sides of the street. The two-foot size ones (flags not houses). Blue-eyed white trash types, with the mother-in-law in an Edith Bunker dress and their three tow-headed kids, thought that the flags were theirs for the taking. Walking down the street, each carrying several. I confronted the daddy and all he knew was that his mother-in-law and his wife already had them when he met them on his way to the sushi place. He explained this in a Southern Illinois accent. Could have been Kentucky. They’re strangers to the neighborhood and I hope they stay that way.
nk (dbc370) — 7/3/2016 @ 5:42 pmcome on nk, maybe he used to work for the coal mines. Although it would have been priceless to have eses be indignant about the theft of the flags

You think he would *stem the tide* of advancing Leftism.
In my opinion (which I think is shared by DRJ, Patterico, and others–but I don’t want to pretend I speak for them–the tide will advance as much under him as her. And possibly less because the GOP can at least be counted on to oppose Hillary,whereas they will happily roll over for Trump.
Besides which he seems to lean Left on most social issues. He criticized North Carolina because its law was bad for business. He was fine with PP until he needed votes in the primary.Etc. He only differs on the topic of PC police.
kishnevi (082931) — 7/3/2016 @ 6:38 pmThe Chicago equivalent of “Eses” (a California perjorative) would be found in Cicero, Berwyn and Lyons, nk. Bad on me since it would be a variation of the many white guy dumb, person of color saves day commercials that are legion on Tv these days.
