How Democrats do transparency
By Brian Wilson
Pee-wee Herman, clowntoonish (and ill-fated) '80s–'90s TV star, had a fall-back defense in his various misadventures: "I know you are, but what am I?"
Democrats in general and the Biden administration in particular have adopted Pee-wee's elementary school retort, grafting it onto White House communications policy. Democrats have been using this oblique transparency strategy for decades. Recently, it has been re-branded "whataboutism," as in "Oh yeah? Well, what about Trump?" In psych class, it's taught as projection. It can be seen performed in living color at the daily White House press briefing, when Cringe tries to field the Daily Doocy.
The old saw "it's not the crime, it's the cover-up" is rapidly finding a new home in the D.C. news narrative. The lengths Biden & Co. are going to pretend "there's nothing to see here" will soon exceed all leaps of Olympic proportion in the Credulity Competition. Republicans have already submitted a petition to change the Potomac to Denial. By spring, Sgt. Schultz is expected to take over as White House press secretary.
