Tuesday night, there was that period after Iran bombed our troops when there was speculation about whether Potus would speak that evening.

Whatever the reasons, it was decided he would not.

With all due respect to Potus' family and its members,

what did we get Tuesday night instead?

His son, Eric,shows up on FNC on either Ingraham or Bream to discuss it.

This anon - after exclaiming aloud 'you've got to be fucking kidding me?!' - cannot get to the remote fast enough.

I was too young to remember if Pres. Carter deciding aginst speaking on a fluid situation but instead sending his brother Billy out (with a Billy Beer in hand) to go do an interview with Sam Donaldson in his stead.

Did that ever happen?

Did Pres. Obama ever ask Flotus Michelle to do an Oprah or Nightly News interview for him when he decided against speaking on a pressing issue on any evening during his Presidency? Did Sasha? No?

Did Ron Reagan Jr. ever do that for President Reagan?

DC always knew that Potus was never and still is not ready for DC Primetime.

Out in the hinterlands, this anon could not understand DC's thinking.

After this week, I get it.

Epic fucking fail of a week from which there is no rebounding.
