TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Oct. 1, 2024

Greetings! I plan to  hate-watch tonight’s debate tonight simply to witness the scary and nasty JD Vance in action.  The thought of him a heartbeat away from the presidency is frightening.  Looking for color commentary during the Veep faceoff between Tim Walz and Vance?  Donald Trump will be posting his salty sociopathic takes on Truth Social. Here’s what The Donald said on Truth Social yesterday: “I will be doing a personal PLAY BY PLAY of the Debate tomorrow between the Brilliant J.D. Vance and the Highly Inarticulate ‘Tampon’ Tim Walz.”  He also called Kamala Harris “cognitively challenged”…On a more joyful note, happy 100th birthday Jimmy Carter.  Try to make it until November 5.  We need your vote in Georgia…Sad: Rudy Giuliani’s daughter Caroline trashes the once celebrated NYC mayor and Donald  Trump lackey   The 35-year-old writer and filmmaker wrote a devastating Vanity Fair article where she endorses Kamala Harris and mourns the tragic fall of her father…What’s the book of the year?  American Spectator says it’s Ken Khachigian’s Behind Closed Doors: In the Room with Reagan and Nixon.  Khachigian toiled as an aid and speechwriter to both presidents.  Several right wing boldfaced names, like Ed Rollins and Pat Buchanan, have blurbed it…If you missed the opener of the  season premiere of “Saturday Night Live” featuring  a spot-on Maya Rudolph as Kamala Harris and Dana Carvey in a devastating portrayal of Joe Biden, here it is…RIP baseball legend Pete Rose.  A low-down liar and degenerate gambler, but a helluva ballplayer…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
