The Best and the Brightest of the Left
/NBC’s Andrea Mitchell, who 100 hundred years ago majored in English Literature, and the Wapo’s Jennifer Rubin, who majored in Victimhood Finger Painting at Berkeley (of course), rush to publicize their idiocy. Like all their reporting and commentary, theirs are tales told by idiots, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing,.
MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell attempted to fact-check Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) after he quoted Shakespeare, and Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin rushed to mock his supposed stupidity. As it turns out, Cruz — not Mitchell — was correct. Mitchell had the good sense to apologize, but it seems Rubin has yet to do so.
During an appearance on the Fox News show America’s Newsroom, Cruz quoted The Bard to summarize the second impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump.
“It’s reminiscent of Shakespeare — that it is full of sound and fury, and yet signifying nothing,” said Cruz, referencing part of a well-known soliloquy from “Macbeth.”
Yet Mitchell claimed that Cruz got his authors mixed up. “[Cruz] says [the impeachment trial] is like Shakespeare full of sound and fury signifying nothing. No, that’s Faulkner,” she tweeted.
Rather than checking her facts, Rubin rushed to mock the senator. She claimed “it says volumes about his lack of soul. That’s Any Thinking Person.”
Of course, this will soon be irrelevant: our schools are already busy cancelling Shakespeare, and Faulkner will soon join him in oblivion.
