Thursday Short Cuts

Friendly fire alert: Rep. Kathleen Rice says Pelosi “ceded the moral high ground” when she boasted “John Conyers was an icon.”

Observations: “Picture traveling back in time a year, and telling people that by November 2017, sex harassment allegations had not derailed the Trump presidency, but had effectively ended the careers of Matt Lauer, Charlie Rose, Mark Halperin, Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, Leon Wieseltier…” —Jim Geraghty

Upright: “It’s a sad day when Hollywood and media executives are doing a better job of punishing sexual harassment than our lawmakers.” —Allie Stuckey

Friendly fire: “I think that we ceded the moral high ground on Sunday when our leader [Nancy Pelosi] said on ‘Meet the Press’ that John Conyers was an icon and we don’t even know who these women are, when she was fully aware that the woman in question was bound by a nondisclosure agreement.” —Rep. Kathleen Rice

For the record: “James Clyburn compared Conyers’ accusers to the child murderer Susan Smith, who initially claimed a black man had abducted her kids. Clyburn said, these are all white women who’ve made these charges against Conyers.” —New York Times’ Robert Draper

Warning signals: “[Matt Lauer] pinches me on the a— a lot.” —Katie Couric in 2012

Non Compos Mentis: “Alcohol is already linked to 88,000 deaths each year. The Senate [tax] bill could add 1,550 deaths to that annual toll.” —Vox’s German Lopez

The BIG Lie: “Incredibly thankful for the determination of Leandra English, the rightful Acting Director of CFPB.” —Nancy Pelosi

Bias? What media bias? “Contact @SenatorCollins, (202) 224-2523, particularly if you live in Maine, and ask her to oppose the Senate tax bill because it would repeal Obamacare’s individual mandate, driving up the cost of health insurance. #thetaxbillhurts” —one in a series of New York Times tweets

And last… “Americans spent well over a billion hours watching porn on Porn Hub in 2016. Gee. I wonder why we have so many perverts?” —Matt Walsh
