Opinion: Only in the Twilight Zone is Trump off to a fast start
The “Twilight Zone,” the classic TV show that ran between 1959-64, is enjoying a renaissance, and not just on cable. Here in Washington, the show’s bizarre themes—psychological horror, fantasy and science fiction—are back with a vengeance. The nation’s capital is one giant bizarro land, where stuff happens that defies the imagination.
Submitted for your approval (the catch phrase of the show’s host, Rod Serling): Republicans, who spent eight years deliberately blocking President Obama at every turn, now complain that it’s unfair that Democrats are now doing the same to President Trump. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, the key obstructionist then, says it’s time for civility and cooperation.
Talk about fantasy!
Here’s another one: on a Michigan radio show the other day, the host asked me “Have you ever seen a president get off to a faster start than Donald Trump?” I quickly earned his scorn by saying you can’t confuse activity with actual achievement.
