Train, Train, Go Away

First, Secretary Buttigieg, it’s pronounced East PalesTEEN, not East PalesTINE.

It’s easy to remember as East PalesTINE is, for the most part, Israel.

Now, where was I? … I seem to have lost my train of thought…

Okay, everyone misspeaks at times, but to say your lost your “train of thought” less than a mile from the site of one of the worst train wrecks in recent history is just bad.

Buttigieg’s public pillorying may have actually moved him behind, God help him, Kamala Harris, in the race to replace the Wandering Joe.

Though he should not need reminding, Buttigieg, in his effort to blame Trump for the train wreck he seems to have forgotten one of the most important rules of politics – never lie about anything that is in writing, in this case the easily obtainable history of the braking regulation Buttigieg claimed Trumped futzed with.

Also, never lie if you might be going to be almost immediately contradicted by your own employees.  The alleged Trump brake deregulation didn’t actually happen and it didn’t matter anyway – NTSB chief Jennifer Homendy said – within a day or so of Buttigieg’s blame Trump comments – that an over-heated bearing caused the disaster.
