Wednesday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Matt Walsh, Brit Hume, Howard Stern, and more.

Insight: “Dignify and glorify common labor. It is at the bottom of life that we must begin, not at the top.” —Booker T. Washington (1856-1915)

Upright: “We are all going to die. This doesn’t mean that we should be suicidal or nihilistic, quite the opposite. It is all the more reason to live our lives with joy and vigor and courage because we will only be here for a short time. We may be able to momentarily extend our stay by hiding under our beds indefinitely, but then what kind of life would that be? Eventually we have to confront the risks, accept them, take whatever reasonable precautions we’re comfortable with, and get back to living again.” —Matt Walsh

That’s saying a lot: “[The Russian-collusion narrative pursuit] was the worst journalistic fiasco of now my more than 50 some years in journalism. It was a disaster.” —Brit Hume

For the record: “We already have more compelling evidence that the Obama administration engaged in misconduct than we ever did for opening the Russian-collusion investigation.” —David Harsanyi

Braying jackass, Part I: “I do think it would be extremely patriotic of Donald to say, ‘I’m in over my head, and I don’t want to be president anymore.’ It’d be so patriotic that I’d hug him, and then I’d go back to Mar-a-Lago and have a meal with him and feel good about him because it would be such an easy thing to do.” —Howard Stern

Braying jackass, Part II: “The oddity in all of this is the people Trump despises most love him the most. The people who are voting for Trump, for the most part … he wouldn’t even let them in a f—ing hotel. He’d be disgusted by them. Go to Mar-a-Lago. See if there’s any people who look like you. I’m talking to you in the audience.” —Howard Stern

And last… “‘Flattening the curve’ turned into communism real quick.” —Caleb Hull
