“If there’s a word for the guy with the hook who yanks vaudeville performers off the stage after they’ve overstayed their welcome, I’m the premature version of that. Too eager. When Barack Obama wrested the Democratic nomination from Hillary Rodham Clinton in 2008, I wrote that I was grateful at least that we wouldn’t have to write about the Clintons anymore. Now, I worry they’ll try to run Chelsea next time around. When Donald Trump announced his 2016 campaign, I wrote a piece headlined ‘Witless Ape Rides Escalator,’ and when he was dragged out of office in 2021, I capped off — or so I thought! — my Trump commentary with ‘Witless Ape Rides Helicopter.’ … But the one that might hurt the most: I really thought we were done with the Kennedys.” (12/02/24)
