Mushroom Soup Wednesday

I'm trying to figure out who's in more trouble this morning, Donald Trump or Rudy Giuliani…but that's not what's giving me the headache. For those who are new to this blog, I should explain that when I'm too swamped with deadlines to blog or not feeling great, I sometimes declare a Mushroom Soup Day here. In this case, it's a little of each and what it means is that I may do little or no posting here the rest of the day. Note the "may."

So all the folks who said "there was no quid pro quo" in the Ukraine matter have to scramble for a new line, probably that, yeah, it was wrong but it doesn't meet the criteria of an impeachable offense. My feeling is that everyone saying it doesn't would be saying the opposite if it had been done by Barack Obama and especially by President Hillary. It's going to be fun the next few days watching D.J.T. tell us he barely knows Rudy…although given Trump's speeches lately and a few peeks at his notes, that may not be as absurd as it seems. We may yet see him say he's never met Don Jr.

I need to get whatever part of my brain I have functioning off this topic so I'm going to leave you with this thought: Colbert, Kimmel, SNL…they're probably all going to do sketches where someone plays EU ambassador Gordon Sondland testifying and burning everyone. They oughta bring in comedian Jeff Ross — he wouldn't even need make-up — and let him just roast everyone…
