Tim Allen said Wednesday that he “liked” former president Donald Trump’s attitude and had “fun” keeping his feelings to himself. “Once I realized that the last president pissed people off, I kind of liked that,” he said on Marc Maron’s “WTF” podcast. The “Home Improvement” star went on, “So it was fun to just not say anything — didn’t join in the lynching crowd.”

Points for creativity, I guess.

To explain the rise of Rush Limbaugh, who died on Wednesday at age 70, in the early 90s, it helps to understand that, in large parts of America at least, he read as a not your grandfather's buttoned-up Republicanism. He wasn't cool, exactly, but he appealed to middle-aged Boomers who were still coasting on their image as the generation of Woodstock and "Animal House." His bumper music was a song by the Pretenders, a bona fide punk band. He often did comedy skits and spoke in the mellifluous tones of an FM radio DJ.

The senator’s error is not that he was deliberately shirking his duty, but that he couldn’t think of any way he could help. Nero fiddled while Rome burned; Ted Cruz jetted to Cancún.

The Republican Party still belongs to Donald Trump. After he incited a deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol last month, the GOP considered purging the norm-shattering former president.
