John Dowd is used to dealing with scumbags. Pete Rose might be the all-time leader in hits, but Dowd’s investigation of him for sports betting led to the Dowd Report in 1989, which in turn led to Rose being banned from baseball for life and extinguished any chances for him ever to be in the Hall of Fame.
Now Rose, with his hair dyed with what looks like brown shoe polish, sells his autograph wherever he can and never misses a chance to bitch about what a raw deal he got. Rose was indeed a great player, but he is also a world class creep.
Which leads us to Donald John Trump, another world class scumbag and creep who unfortunately for this country is its president. For reasons best known to himself, John Dowd was his lawyer until March 22. He quit on that date because Trump was a lawyer’s nightmare, a stupid, arrogant bully and braggart who was sure he was the brightest guy in whatever room he was in. He routinely disregarded and ignored Dowd’s best advice. Exit Dowd.
Which brings us to Bob Woodward’s new bombshell book, “Fear: Trump in the White House,” which was grabbing all the headlines until the anonymous op-ed in the New York Times, which substantiated much of Woodward’s book and has made Donald Trump as crazy as a shithouse rat, which he is (both crazy and a shithouse rat).
In the book, according to released pre-publication excerpts, Trump was going on about how he would like to testify before Special Counsel Robert Mueller, when John Dowd gave him a taste of what it would be like. Dowd, according to Woodward, took the part of Mueller and began firing questions at Trump, which Trump fumbled with and flat out lied about. After about a half hour of this humiliation, Trump freaked out and quit.
Again, according to “Fear,” Dowd strongly advised his asshole client to forget about testifying. “It’s either that or an orange jumpsuit,” Woodward reports Dowd said.
Last time I looked, jail prisoners wear orange jumpsuits. This would lead me to believe that during Dowd/Mueller’s quizzing of him, some of Trump’s answers put him in the position of a stone criminal who should be in jail. Wow, so hard to believe.
Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein were instrumental in bringing down the criminal Nixon presidency, and it looks like “Fear” might be a sequel to “All the President’s Men” in ridding this country of another criminal president. Trump is screaming as usual that “Fear” is a fake and phony, but Pulitzer-prize-winning Bob Woodward doesn’t roll that way; he has literally hundreds of hours of tape and he triangulates all his sources, which means he goes one beyond the journalistic rule of thumb of having two sources.
Oh, yeah, Trump just got another well-deserved kick in the ass when Nike announced its new flight of ads featuring Colin Kaepernick. This is the first time that a major corporation has based a marketing campaign on telling the President of the United States to go fuck himself.
Tell the quartermaster at Allenwood to look around for a XXL orange jumpsuit.
