I have seen some sketchy speed freaks in my time, but Terry McAuliffe is the King. I'm not saying he's actually a meth head, but he acts like one. Its starting to weird me out. He's displaying all the signs of long-term use - disconnected from reality, twitching, goofy inappropriate smile, nods along simultaneously as if approving the bullshit he's spewing, and giving every sign that he's not getting any sleep.
On Sunday, he really went over the top on Meet the Press with Tim Russert. Tim was trying to get him to acknowledge some aspect of reality, and in his haste to escape any brush with it, he went off on this bizarre tangent about his dad and Tim's dad being up in heaven, swilling scotch and watching the primary. Only problem is, as Tim pointed out, that his father isn't dead.
Any normal person with a functioning brain would have melted right there on the spot, strictly out of embarassment. McAuliffe didn't even miss a beat with his non-stop patter, just speeded right along with his next nonsensical point.
The other day I heard him claim that the primary votes in Puerto Rico could be used as part of the justification that Clinton won the popular vote. And when someone questioned the validity of counting the popular vote in Puerto Rico as they are not able to vote in the general election, Terry said "Why do you hate Puerto Rico?" Seriously. This moron actually said that to a real human being, I think it was the unfortunate David Schuster, who always seems to get singed by the most surreal situations.
Yeah, Terry, we're all up in heaven, watching Hillary Clinton win the primary while we're hating Puerto Rico with all of our hearts. You might want to ease up on the pharmaceuticals.
