Tuesday's Titillating Absurdities: What Was Kristi Noem Thinking, and Ukraine Already Wants More US Money
Honestly, it’s hard to know what to even say about Kristi Noem telling the story about shooting her ranch dog Cricket. For those who have been locked up in a closet since last Friday, the late, lamented Cricket was a 14-month-old wirehair pointer who Noem writes about in her new book appropriately titled, "No Going Back: The Truth on What's Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward.”
Well, she’s right: There is truly no going back from this tale by the South Dakota Governor who was so obviously aspiring the running mate for Donald Trump in the general election. Once you boast about being so tough and willing to make the hard decisions that you literally brag about killing a dog who did what young, high-strung, untrained dogs do and killed some of the neighbor farmer’s chickens, your entire political career is well and truly done. So long, Christi - it’s been nice knowing you.
