When asked if he called the president a "moron" (and there's a reason that word is being kept in quotes, but more on that in a moment), Tillerson replied he wouldn't respond to petty stuff like that because the allegation and language is only meant to divide.

The "moron" remark had actually elevated Tillerson in the estimation of some in Foggy Bottom — "I feel like it's curiously redemptive," the 25-year veteran Foreign Service officer told me — but even these people conceded that they believed he could no longer do his job effectively.

But when he became secretary of state, he suddenly had to defer to the whims of the president — a man he reportedly once described in a meeting with staffers as "a fucking moron" and who also likes to see himself as the toughest guy in the room.

The analogy she gives feels trite and the whole thing reminds me of going to go get a medical marijuana card—you tell them you have some ailment, real or pretend, the doctor asks you a few questions, you give them the right answers because you're not a moron, and out you are.

In addition to the whole DUNCAN PHYFE mystery, I was wondering if Ms. Lempel was trying to send us some sort of subliminal message with her theme: There are four, two-word theme entries (17A, 24A, 37A and 55A) where the beginnings and endings contain letters that spell out some fairly insulting words: DORK, DUNCE, CHUMP and MORON.

My favorite person, Tucker "Tucky" Carlson, that's my name for him, has a leaked tape — not that kind, that would be horrible — calling Rutger Bregman, who is the historian who was on the stage at Davos who called out billionaires and suggested we should be talking about tax avoidance, a "moron," even though it looked like Rutger Bregman was very smart.

It is not the first time that Tillerson has been forced to deny calling the president a moron, with a previous episode in October prompting the president to challenge his secretary of state to an IQ test — in a tweet that the White House said was a joke — and Tillerson to hold an impromptu news conference denying that he had ever made such a remark.

|
Which was just a couple hours before Tillerson would hold an extraordinary news conference in the State Department's Treaty Room — the magisterial, blue-walled chamber where secretaries of state typically greet foreign dignitaries — in order to tell reporters that Trump "is smart"; deny that he ever considered resigning; and refuse to answer a question about whether he had indeed called the president a moron.

Watch enough episodes, and the segments begin to reveal a similar rhythm; seeing the pitch process repeated so many times in rapid succession, a viewer develops a sort of omniscience, that mixture of intimacy and superiority that is unique to reality TV.
