The New York Times review the new book for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R):

https://politicalwire.com/2023/02/27/a-culture-war-mad-libs/

"SNIP.........

“As governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis has been casting himself as a Trump-like pugilist. But the overall sense you get from reading his new memoir is that of the mechanical try-hard — someone who has expended a lot of effort studying which way the wind is blowing in the Republican Party and is learning how to comport himself accordingly.”

“Not that he admits any of this, peppering The Courage to Be Free with frequent eruptions about ‘the legacy media’ and ‘runaway wokeness.’ But all the culture war Mad Libs can’t distract from the dull coldness at this book’s core…”

“For the most part, The Courage to Be Free is courageously free of anything that resembles charisma, or a discernible sense of humor. While his first book was weird and esoteric enough to have obviously been written by a human, this one reads like a politician’s memoir churned out by ChatGPT.”

[TheBlackAdder]

3. DeSantis will now try and ban NYT from all Florida State buildings, Libraries & Schools.

[ashredux]

4. LOL..." memoir churned out by ChatGPT." ...1. He didn't write it, 2. The Times nailed it

[niyad]

10. Snort!!

[rubbersole]

11. "studying which way the wind is blowing in the Republican party"

He doesn't have an original thought and in public appearances there's always a script to read. Rumors down here in the Sunshine State have Mrs. desantis as the man behind the curtain. He was our representative in New Smyrna Beach and was 100% absent. Looking at all the nazi shit he's capable of, we were probably lucky he was running for governor instead of doing his job.

12. He voted no on aid for the Northeast after hurricane Sandy.

He was a senator from FLORIDA.

[MagickMuffin]

13. Ron DeStantis wasn't a senator, but did serve in the House of Representatives

And did vote against hurricane Sandy that part is correct.

[Farmer-Rick]

14. He probably thinks this is a compliment

"Courageously free of anything that resembles charisma, or a discernible sense of humor."

[allegorical oracle]

15. Thx for that. What gripes (and baffles) me, is when did simple good will in polite society become a

disparaged personality disorder? What's wrong with presuming that the average person, regardless of skin color, religion, political affiliation, gender, or gender choice, was good and decent become a societal ill?

I'm not "woke" -- I'm awake.

[BigOleDummy]

19. Exactly!

And well said. VERY well said.

[skamaria]

20. The opposite of "woke" is asleep!

18. Well at least the "always reliably unreliable" NY Times.....

Didn't celebrate the "WISDOM OF A FRESH NEW FACE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY".
