CGW, As DT.s behavior and speech deteriorate, I can only hope that whatever is motivating the pundits and press who engage in "sanewashing" - an excellent descriptive, by the way, will become less and less attractive to them. How can people who's lively hoods depend on robust first amendment rights support (tacitly or otherwise) someone who clearly wants to destroy them? "Sane" is not a term I would use here. Yet it is exactly what's going on. Thanks for the concept and descriptive CGW!
