Q.: Does Billingsley Chew… Peyote Buttons, Every Morning?

As Rigby has cogently pointed out, he’s a very poor writer. That’s a fact — in evidence now.

But after suffering through several that seem to have no discernible premise (nor a plot line — no beginning / middle / or end, in any rational order)… I wonder if recreational chemicals are among his afflictions. [He’s written ten or more like this one this morning: free association pieces — about truly trivial events, most decades in the past — that claimed the non-event caused / predicted today’s Democratic ascendancy. Whatever.]

Me? I think he fancies himself as some kind of a low rent version of… Hunter S. Thompson.

But peyote… seems the equally likely answer — ingested as fuel, for unintelligible spewing like this.

Charming. Sort of… not.

Onward.

  1. Billingsley’s bonkers bad writing continues with yesterday’s post about Kristi Noem. (I use the word “about” here generously, since a true topic sentence never emerges.)

    To summarize:

    The controversy over Noem shooting her puppy reminds Billingsley of Rhett Butler shooting a pony in Gone With the Wind, which reminds him of the Waco Kid (Gene Wilder) talking about killing people in Blazing Saddles, which reminds him of various musicians singing about killing people in various songs, which reminds him of one of his own true crime books he has for sale on Amazon — a book one Amazon reviewer describes as “by far the worst piece of writing I’ve read in a long time.”

    He’s truly an embarrassment to Powerline, something I previously would have thought impossible, given the drivel that site routinely produces. But Billingsley is simply on another level, low-quality-wise.

    1. Yep. When I first scanned it… I thought… is this an Electric Kool Aid Acid-Trip like free association piece?!

      But minus any of Wolfe’s grace…?

      It’s all rather sad actually… because it is likely not due to recreational chemicals.

      Just advancing… dementia.

      I think he thinks… he’s making sense.

      Yikes.
