Stacy McCain looks ahead: The suspiciously Flemish-looking Michelle Malkin says to “prepare for recriminations.” Yeah, liberals are already trying to blame Republicans , but if I live to be 56, I’ll be enjoying the recriminations with bikini-clad cuties on the beach in Rio, covering the 2016 Olympics.
