Wednesday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from James Carville, Andrew Klavan, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and more.

Warning

“The worst-case scenario is we get past the nominating process with President Biden as the nominee, and then he’s no longer able to continue on as the nominee. That’s the nightmare scenario for Democrats.” —an anonymous Democrat lawmaker to The Washington Post

“Voters don’t want this, and that’s in poll after poll after poll.” —Democrat strategist James Carville

Satire

“The White House Press Office has opened a new Department of The President is Fine, according to a report from the New York Times’ new Bureau of the President is Fine in a front page story headlined ‘The President is Fine’ which says that the White House Department of the President is Fine says the president is fine. According to the White House, the Department of the President is Fine will be tasked with explaining to the public that the president is not doing what he’s obviously doing or saying what he’s obviously saying but instead is fine.” —Andrew Klavan

For the Record

“Neither ‘ze’ nor ‘zir’ are words in the English language, or any other language. They are inventions by far-left gender ideologues who insist they are ‘neo-pronouns’ that must now be used in place of the third-person singular ‘he’ or ‘she’ for those who say they are of unspecified sex — also something that doesn’t exist, except for people born with a rare biological condition.” —Mike Gonzalez

“Voters can best judge a candidate’s fitness for office by using their eyes and ears, which is what they’re doing with Mr. Biden. No cognitive test is required to realize that he’s not the man he used to be, or that his decline could always accelerate.” —The Wall Street Journal

Political futures

“John Fetterman’s Senate legacy is now set — he’s the guy who made it possible to dress like a slob.” —Rich Lowry

Family feud

“In recent years our party leaders have succumbed to the siren of control. They have compromised the defining democratic principle of one person, one vote through repeated interference in the primary elections. They have hijacked the party machinery and, in recent years, directed the power of censorship onto their political opponents, raising political victory onto the altar in place of honest democracy.” —Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Food for thought

“One of the most distressing things to me about the rise of social media and social media ‘celebrities’ is … the seeming necessity so many feel to capitalize on every opportunity to be the smartest guy in the room, the wisest voice in the chamber, and in Christian circles, the most pious.” —Peter Heck

Hope for life

“This is the best moment in the history of our movement. We have more momentum. We have more people on our side.” —40 Days for Life President Shawn Carney
