Bannon, however, was smart enough, I gather, to pack a few stacked Solitaire decks in the NIC's bags. Some time over the weekend, as he wandered the halls of Mar-a-Lago in his bathrobe, the phone rang again.
This time, THE phone, not his cell phone.
"How about a game of Solitaire, son?"
"Yes, mother." Hang up.
Short pause. Red queen.
Ring!
"Hello, mother."
"Okay, now listen carefully, son. Last time I called you the damn cell phone dropped the call after I said, 'Blame Obama' and you made up some cockamamie story about him tapping your phone. What were you thinking? (Bannon's voice getting a bit hoarse.) Blame Obama for that botched SEALS raid in Yemen, you ninny."
"Yes, mother."
And as far as I can tell, that's how the NIC came to exploit the widow of a Navy SEAL who died in that raid during his State of the Union address, while at the same time blaming his predecessor and his generals for the failure of the mission. How's that for presidential?
I can't wait for Denzel's "Manchurian Candidate" to arrive in the mail. Hope it's as good as Sinatra's.
