► Some days I wish that Trump would just go back to being a regular piece of shit. You know, a racist or a sexist or just in general a jerk, the kind of guy you’d never want your daughter dating, the kind of dude you just don’t want to have to explain to your kids. Because if he was just a regular pile of trash, I wouldn’t be as furious as I am right this second after hearing how Donald Trump reacted to the death of the legendary Cokie Roberts, who was essentially a co-founder at NPR, a trailblazer for women journalists, and an inspiration to everyone who wanted insightful, high-level reporting on American government from someone trustworthy and fair.
Your humble author was twelve years old when Cokie went on the air on television for the ABC network. She’d already established herself at National Public Radio, but I was the only boy in my house — dad gone, being raised by a mom and a sister just older than me — and I sought out information from women on television. She was a panelist on David Brinkley’s program, and when other kids were begging their parents to put on Roseanne or Cosby, I wanted to watch This Week and see what David and Cokie and Sam Donaldson had to say about Reagan’s version of Star Wars, and New Coke, and the first black quarterback to win a Super Bowl, and the Soviets pulling out of Afghanistan.
Mom was amenable because of that other fellow, George Will, who I never cared for.
Thanks everyone !
