There was some jeering over Addison Mitchell McConnell III's tearful announcement of his eventual retirement. And some very unfair comparisons to turtles. (Leave turtles out of it. They are majestic enigmatic creatures full of grace & also probably lettuce.)

I couldn't smile at the words of a man who deeply loved his work, who was proud of what he'd done-

When he has done nothing but trash the country I love. All that political acumen and brinkmanship wasted on the worst aims. And not a clue.

What I would enjoy is taking him for a ride in a time machine. Show him how he will be remembered.

And mostly how he won't be remembered much as crisis after crisis he has neglected or fueled will take up all of our time.

We will systematically erase every single thing you have done. I can't say there won't still be a scar, a lingering harm.

But nothing you have worked for will endure.

You know someone has effed up when reversing everything they've done and erasing their legacy is an excellent plan for the future.
