Burnishing its reputation for journalistic excellence yet
again, the Washington Post recently announced that it’s releasing a “graphic
novel” version of The Mueller Report, officially known as the Investigation
into Russian Interference in the 2016 Presidential Election. The Post’s
“graphic non-fiction book” will be titled, “The Mueller Report Illustrated: The
Obstruction Investigation.” It is slated to hit bookstores in early December
and will sell for about $20. I’m sure it will make for thrilling reading and be
a great Christmas gift. Who doesn’t want to read about an interminable
political investigation triggered by a fake document and led by a man who makes
Al Gore seem charismatic? And it has drawings of the political hacks and
the scary Orange Man!
Or, as
the Post touted it via a news release: "The book provides a unique, graphic
depiction of the report’s most scrutinized passages and pivotal moments, all
contextualized with The Post’s original reporting. “Graphic depictions of
scrutinized passages? Contextualized? Yay!! I can throw all those old
Playboys away!” The news release continued: "The Mueller Report
Illustrated offers a fly-on-the-wall account of life in the White House, told
through the accounts of the men and women who at one time served the
president—James Comey, Michael Flynn, Donald McGahn, K.T. McFarland, Sean
Spicer, Rod Rosenstein, Hope Hicks, Michael Cohen, and many others." Pow!
Bam! Crash! See the tension and betrayal acted out on page after page!
The rag’s
Post’s Executive Editor, Martin Baron, added: "The report’s second volume
– detailing possible obstruction of justice in the White House – left open
questions that have gained new relevance as Congress continues to investigate
the president and he continues to resist. This book helps to easily and clearly
explain the underlying facts of the obstruction investigation, allowing the
public to arrive at its own conclusions." The president “continues
to resist?” I thought you were in “The Resistance,” Martin. All of you
woke elites and Deep Staters are The Resistance, right? Is Trump resisting
The Resistance?
The few
illustrations contained in this graphic novel that I’ve seen so far make Trump
look like a maniacal, controlling lunatic whereas those engaged in the Great
Witch Hunt appear as solemn public servants. But, hey, The Post says it will allow
you to arrive at your own conclusions. How magnanimous of it.
The paper is
also said to be considering publishing a new weekly magazine called “Politics
Illustrated,” and a series of children’s books. The potential children’s book
titles include, “Where the Defiled Things Are,” “Alexandria and the Terrible,
Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day for America,” “We’re Going on a Witch
Hunt” (by Robert Mueller and Adam Schiff), “If You Give the House A Rookie: the
AOC Story,” and a pop-up book called “Everyone Poops…And Leaks” (by the
president’s cabinet, the DOJ, the FBI, the CIA…and other Mickey Mouse
organizations).
Moreover, anonymous sources tell me if
“The Mueller Report Illustrated: The Obstruction Investigation” does
well, The Post is considering sponsoring a two-act play titled, “Watergate: The
Musical.”
