• The New York City Council honored Ethel Rosenberg. One hundred million people were unavailable for comment.
• If Donald Trump stopped insulting people, he would practically be rendered mute, but he has a bully’s inability to take what he dishes out. Trump threw an epic temper tantrum on Twitter after Rich Lowry said on Fox News that in the last debate, Carly Fiorina had “cut Donald Trump’s balls off with the precision of a surgeon.” Trump demanded that Lowry be banned from television and fined by the FCC. (Isn’t he supposed to be the anti-PC candidate?) Trump followed this up in TV interviews with a string of his typically witless put-downs, calling Lowry a “loser,” “a total fool,” and — this was particularly clever — “a bad guy.” To say Trump has an unpresidential temperament is to put it mildly. One imagines the mogul sitting in silk pajamas plotting his revenge late at night in the White House residence over displeasing tweets and unwelcome TV commentary. As for Lowry’s salty expression, maybe he should have said “cojones” instead — but we know Trump insists on English.
