The Morning Briefing: Jake Tapper Agrees That Jake Tapper Is Horrible at His Job

Top O' the Briefing

Happy Thursday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Xerxsannah floated along on a cloud of self-satisfaction whenever her "Mystery Margaritas" led to an uncomfortable social pairing on community laundry nights.

There's never a bad time to mock Jake Tapper — aka "White Joy Reid" — for being awful at what he does. I've been doing it for years. In fact, I've probably gone after Tapper more than any other Democratic propagandist in the mainstream media for one big reason. OK, maybe two reasons. Sometimes I get Tapper confused with Rachel Maddow.

I know, I know — Maddow's voice is deeper.

The main reason I've gone after Tapper so much is that he was able to pull the wool over a lot of conservatives' eyes for a long time. None of them will admit it now, but I've got a pretty sharp memory.

Back when the online gentleman's club X was known as Twitter, a lot of the conservative regulars would interact with Tapper. He was known for being active on the site and very willing to engage with people on the Right. He would DM a lot of them too. I was never one to have a friendly Twitter chat with Tapper, because I always knew he was a tool.

I had been hanging around politics a lot longer than most back then, so I was more cynical and skeptical than my rightwing compadres. I had also been writing about leftist bias in the mainstream media for a while, so I was always on the lookout for things that others weren't. Whenever I would point out that Tapper was a biased jagoff, I would get pushback from other conservatives who would say something like, "He's better than the rest of them."

No. He's always been one of the worst. I knew I would eventually be proven correct, because that happens to me a lot. President Trump's first term and Joe Biden's occupation of the Oval Office exposed Tapper for what he always was: a former Dem operative who then went into "journalism" to carry water for the Democratic National Committee. He's a pathetic cliché.

Another conservative who was never part of Tapper's Twitter klatch is my good friend Stephen Green, who yesterday wrote about the CNN hack's latest plumbing of the depths. It's a real doozy, or a humdinger, if that suits your taste better. Here's the intro to Stephen's column:

How many big-name reporters does it take to tell you three months from now what they finally admitted last summer and that you had figured out almost five years ago?
Two. Their names are Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson.
Set for release on May 20 by PenguinRandomHouse, the CNN anchor and the Axios correspondent are writing a tell-all (not really, but I'll return to that) titled, "Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again."

Once again, the Left is beyond parody.

If there were any decent human beings in the leftmedia clown car, they would give up the charade about being stunned by Joe Biden's slurring, drooling debate performance last summer. That's like working with elephants for four years and one day being shocked to discover that they're quite large.

There is no way to spin the fake epiphany that the Dems' flying monkeys in the mainstream media all claim they had last June 27. Yes, Joe Biden was worse than ever before by the time that his handlers stupidly let him go onstage for that debate, but he was a barely-functioning pudding brain during the 2020 campaign. He should never have been let out of that basement.

Unfortunately for Biden, "Be President" had been at the top of DOCTOR Mama Jill's honey-do list for him ever since they were married. Her ambition overrode any embarrassment a normal wife would feel watching her husband drool into his Cheerios bag in front of millions of people on the regular.

As Stephen notes later in the column, the people over on this side of the aisle knew all along that the chief executive of the United States had the mental agility of a wet sack of lima beans. The Democrats love to say that their voters are better educated than conservatives, but at least we know what the word "dementia" means.

A more interesting book would reveal all of the tortured rationalizations that Tapper and his co-conspirators had to go through in order to maintain the level of horse manure-infused delusion it took to tell themselves that Joe Biden was mentally functional.

Tell us, Jake, what you told yourself every time Biden wandered around a stage shaking hands with people who weren't there. He's a ghost-whisperer? He's such a nice guy that he's always ready to extend a friendly greeting, even if no one is there at the moment? Walk us through the process.

Stephen says that he would like a tell-all that describes how the cover-up was orchestrated. I'd like to know some of those conversations too. I'm just more interested in the psychology. I want to know exactly how the crazy people convince themselves they're not crazy.

Then I want to help them get their straitjackets on.
