On Friday, I was about to go get dinner for my kids when Donald Trump Jr. | |
attacked me in his speech at CPAC. Something about me looking like a gender-neutral potato head. | |
If Hasbro really wanted a gender-neutral Mr. | |
potato head so badly they should just slap a picture of CNN's Brian Sletler on | |
the cover of their next potato. | |
What? They don't call him Mr. Potato Head. | |
Potato Head for nothing. And then the tweets started rolling in on my computer, people telling me about Donnie Jr. | |
insulting me, and I thought of some really cutting responses, some really clever ways to reply, some way to go viral, but then I stopped. | |
I didn't post anything. | |
It was just another distraction. | |
He wanted me to respond. | |
This was just more BS fuel for the culture war, and it does not matter. | |
The best thing we can do for each other in this world of tweet storms is to refuse to be confused by that noise, is to refuse to be distracted. | |
There is too much real news going on. |
