Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Thursday, May 28, 2026

Faux TV tumor MAGA "economist" Larry Kudlow, a thrice-married former cocaine addict and recovering alcoholic who converted from Judaism to Catholicism, denigrated the popular and effective NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) as a "stupid kid" and a "Stalinist," after His Honor introduced a bold new plan to create hundreds of thousands of rent-stabilized apartments for struggling New Yorkers.

Why NYC Roundly Rejected Good-for-Nothings Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams
"It's just pure communist, pure Stalinism," 12-step program useless dinosaur Larry Kudlow bleated on TV.

"In their 2015 book Superforecasting, UPenn political scientists Philip E. Tetlock and Dan Gardner refer to talking head Larry Kudlow as a "consistently wrong" pundit, and use Kudlow's long record of failed predictions to clarify common mistakes that poor forecasters like him make."

According to publicly available information, this decrepit defender of the oligarchs has a net worth of $5m and he has earned around $800,000 per year as a blathering TV tumor. Larry Kudlow has also made an additional $100,000 to $200,000 per year from paid speeches and consulting work.

Wow.

Who pays this incompetent triple loser so much money for terrible information?

Meanwhile, NYC's first Muslim mayor, the dynamic Democrat Zohran Mamdani, attended Eid ceremonies wearing an Arsenal UK Football Club-themed robe, his favorite soccer team and recent Premier League champions. His Honor was joined in the Bronx by fellow Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the popular and effective Congresswoman representing NYC's 14th CD.

We can't even imagine what the Big Apple would be like today if either of these two Jurassic Age losers were elected over Democrat Zohran Mamdani last year.

Perish forbid.


Blech!

'Morning Doc Sarvis:

Larry Kudlow's making beaucoup money like a secular televangelist.

Remarkable.

BTW: You are so right about that CIA story becoming a perfect film for the Coen brothers. Having been in the USIC and being routinely polygraphed and scrutinized by CI agents, it's quite unfathomable to me how that fellow got away with this for so long at CIA HQ.

A few years ago a CIA Clandestine Services Officer was finally caught overseas for being a serial date rapist.
The Mexican police nabbed him and the USDJ basically threw away the key when he was sentenced.

And the USIC folks I knew didn't discuss how many times they applied to CIA, NSA, DIA etc.

Three times is a lot because the vetting process is lengthy and expensive.

The chit-chat in the smoking areas revolved around the dreaded polygraph that we all went must go through every five years, not how many times someone was turned down.

Indeed, Coriolanus, it's an odd story. I'm not convinced Madison Cawthorn isn't somehow involved along with a Sri Lankan bitcoin/crypto connection ... lol.

Kudlow doesn't have a coherent thought anytime he around a bottle of Tanqueray.

Judaism to Catholicism.

A transference of what to do with one's self-loathing. And institutionalizing it.

@7 Yup. I knew a few self-loathing Jews years ago. I didn't know there were any left. I met a "Jew for Jesus" at a chess club a couple of three years ago and he was as wacky as a bat on PCP.

At bottom is the ultimate self-loathing Jew. To save her own skin and her loved ones, German Jew Stella Goldschlag worked for the Gestapo as a Greiferin to sniff out the Jews that were being hidden in Germany by anti-Nazis and friends.

Astonishingly, in April 1945, there were still approximately 1,600 Jews still uncaught by the Bosch that Goldschlag was targeting.

The Nazis called her "blonde poison" while Jews in hiding knew her as the "Blonde Lorelei." She was also referred to as "the blonde ghost." This kapo denounced and uncovered anywhere between 600 to 3,000 Jews to the Crushers.

After the war, Stella Goldschlag "converted to Christianity and became an open anti-Semite."

8. Don't get me started on Messianic Jews. But you have.

I've been to three Messianic temples out of curiosity. I've found the rabbis to be old-fashioned Jews for Jesus, urban Jews (like myself) who at some point bailed, probably in college. Weird, but not much more so than a lot of pulpiteers when you get to know them a little. NO small degree of ego whoredom, very few letting any power of any spirit show through.

Messianic congregations are full of people who'd be as comfortable in a snake-handling environment. Evangelical Christians looking for a way to raise their hands, offer affirmations, writhe a little in the aisles, and go up for healings.

I brought my wife one time, a Methodist/Presbyterian who grew up with southern Jewish friends (and married me), and she could barely keep from laughing.

The other thing: In my work I've read a few Messianic monographs. It's like the first few waves of womanism. Stop justifying yourself and get to the point.

I've only read part of a book that dealt with Messianic theology.

Then again, as they willfully admit, the Catholics are just getting into Bible studies 1700 years later.

It's all job security for me. And that's good. Just like DJT. I'll be reading about him til I die. I hope it's after him, though.

Oh, and the extra benefit to Evangelical and I neglected to mentioned fundamentalist Messianics is that they get to spend yet another day or two in "church."

Sunday morning and evening
Wednesday evening
Friday night
Saturday morning

Lather, rinse, repeat.

Speaking of worship, my wife and I are headed to Waffle House.

Using taxes to help the poor instead of bowing to corporate overloads.
