Other journalists are just jealous of Carlson. They could have made the effort but you don’t see it because they are all puppets and gave up true journalism years ago. Kristol is a Baffoon! Along with the rest of the woke fake paper pushers.

He always came across as a soft spoken meek guy years ago and I agreed with most of his views. But boy, since 2016 it’s clear who hates freedom of speech, and identifying as an R or a D doesn’t matter.

He’s part of the bushy mic.

I haven't forgotten the bang-up job Kristol did as Dan Quayle's chief adviser. I now wonder if he was placed there to sabotage Quayle.

That’s wonderful to hear 🙂 Bugs Bunny is one of the best characters ever, imo 😍 I love his resourcefulness and bravado 😁 Some of the funniest scenarios and repartee of all time!

My dad Finn Heimdahl was his younger brother, one of 7 siblings. Ralph had lots of nephews & nieces & he drew each one of us a framable personal Bugs Bunny cartoon. He also did a pencil sketch of me when I was about 8 yo. Treasures, for sure!!

Awww, I thought it was intentional, a tribute to Bugs Bunny calling someone a 'maroon' instead of 'moron.' Which I will sometimes do in my best Bugs Bunny (Mel Blanc) voice.

'Yeah, that's it, that's the ticket, I meant baffoon' - in my The Liar (Jon Lovitz) voice.

I thought a maroon was something else? Not a mispronounced moron?

Bugs Bunny. Cartoon. Intentionally mispronounced for comedic effect. ;)

I’m very familiar with Bugs Bunny, I can quote some of the cartoons by heart 😛 He uses a lot of mispronounced words for comedic effect (like ignoranimus) so that’s certainly possible (though it seems like that happened more with longer words). But I wonder if there could be a double meaning too, as that was a hallmark of those cartoons. I couldn’t find any evidence substantiating any particular interpretation.

I only commented because I'm seeing this misspelling increasing.

Enjoy your comments.

Plus buffoon is such a wonderful word, with the images it evokes. Somehow the word actually sounds like the people it describes; ridiculous, full of themselves, and absurd all at once. Just a gem of a epithet, it deserves to be spelled correctly.

Buffoon .... great word .... my S-I-L's favorite description for Joe Biden for the past 40 years!

I wonder if people don't know there is an edit option in those 3 little dots on the right side of their comment? I will go in and correct mine 99% of the time.

Same! More often than not I type too quickly and don’t see the error (sometimes it’s autocorrect, sometimes my finger just slips) until just as I am hitting the “post” button 🙄

Same here and often it’s too difficult to find the comment to edit in the hundreds of comments posted every day so I let it go! 😏

I can only get to them through my notifications, but I don’t always see every single notification or reread my comment.
