Mayor Pete
May 3, 2019
E. MICHAEL JONES discusses his book Home Alone: A Neighbor’s Thoughts on Pete Buttigieg. Jones and Our Interesting Times host Tim Kelly talk about why South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg is preparing to run for president. The book’s blurb on Amazon:
Presidential aspirant South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg poses the question “What would my next-door neighbors think of all this?” in his political autobiography Shortest Way Home. In Home Alone, E. Michael Jones, who has lived with his family on the very block where Buttigieg grew up since before Buttigieg was born, answers that question, and his answer is devastating. For “virtually every … claim in [his] book, the facts stubbornly resist the paradigm Mayor Pete brings to bear to interpret them,” writes Jones, as he picks apart the fallacies in Buttigieg’s self-serving autobiography. After reading Home Alone, you’ll never look at Buttigieg or his presidential hopes in the same way again.

I’m not sure what’s worse, the prospect of four years viewing him and his “husband” (see here) or listening to Joe Biden’s wife endlessly called “Dr. Jill Biden.” (She has an Ed.D degree with the pathbreaking thesis “Student Retention at the Community College: Meeting Students’ Needs.”)
I guess I’d take Dr. Jill if I had a choice.
