Friday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Matt Walsh, Charles C. W. Cooke, Hillary Clinton, and more.

Insight: “If it was necessary to tolerate in other people everything that one permits oneself, life would be unbearable.” —French dramatist Georges Courteline (1858-1929)

Upright: “If you have a young child who is actually worried about things like climate change, sexism, Donald Trump, politics, then you are a crappy parent. Why are you foisting those kinds of concerns onto a child? They can’t do anything with it or about it. Let them be children.” —Matt Walsh

Surreal: “MSNBC’s Brian Williams reads a tweet [on-air]: ‘Bloomberg spent $500 million on ads. U.S. Population, 327 million. He could have given each American $1 million.’ NYT Editorial Board Member Mara Gay: ‘It’s an incredible way of putting it. It’s true. It’s disturbing.’ It’s $1.53 per person.” —Ryan Saavedra

For the record: “For Bloomberg to give $1 million to each American, he would have to be worth $327 trillion (in cash), which, for context, is around 17 times American GDP and about five-and-a-half thousand times what he’s actually worth. The scale of the error here is galactic. It’s also extremely telling. This, right here, is why so many left-leaning Americans think that ‘the billionaires’ can pay for everything.” —Charles C.W. Cooke

Complaints, she’s got a few: “I do think that there is a certain element of misogyny that is there.” —House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on why Elizabeth Warren dropped out, though she seems to have unintentionally indicted Democrat voters

Unlikely: “All the people crying sexism over Warren dropping out are going to rally to Gabbard now, right?” —talk-radio host Dana Loesch

Non sequitur: “It’s easy to mock Medicare for All until there’s a pandemic.” —Rep. Ilhan Omar (“Narrator’s voice: ‘China has universal healthcare.’” —S.E. Cupp)

Braying jenny: “We have the most dangerous person in the history of our country sitting in the White House.” —House Speaker Nancy Pelosi

Non compos mentis: “I did [things like have extramarital sex] to manage my anxieties for years. I’m a different, totally different person than I was, a lot of that stuff 20 years ago. … I feel terrible about the fact that Monica Lewinsky’s life was defined by it, unfairly I think. Over the years I’ve watched her trying to get a normal life back again but you’ve got to decide how to define normal.” —Bill Clinton

The BIG Lie: “I am the most investigated innocent person in America.” —Hillary Clinton

And last… “Chuck Schumer just tried to excuse his heinous threats against Brett Kavanaugh & Neil Gorsuch by saying: ‘I’m from Brooklyn, I use strong language.’ Okay — by that standard, Chuck Schumer can never criticize New York native Donald Trump’s language again, right?” —Charlie Kirk
