celebrities and a lot of sports figures. A few recipients arguably deserved it; some, like Miriam Adelson, Orrin Hatch, Edwin Meese, Rush Limbaugh, Devin Nunes and Jim Jordan, were a downright blot on the award.

Such an accomplished group of people, all of whom seemed thrilled to be there. Michael J. Fox was heartbreaking; he’s clearly having increasing problems with the Parkinson’s. I was surprised how bad Ralph Lauren looked, although he is 85. Hillary looked beautiful, with a quiet dignity. And Biden did a good job.

I’m still trying to get over the trauma of seeing Trump honor the despicable Rush Limbaugh with the medal.
