Alex, he's talking to the WSJ audience, mocking their mock-serious
"concern" over Bubba's "inappropriateness."  He's propagandizing them. 
He's trying to say, "Go ahead, fools!  If you destroy the Presidency
(Oooh, that sounds so dire! "Destroying the presidency!" Come on, Alex,
doesn't that phrase slip you a cheap thrill? think what it does to a
stockbroker) then you are only playing into the hands of us Red Commie
Anarchists!  Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!"

You've made the mistake of taking ANYTHING on the WSJ editorial page
literally.  Bless that mad Irishman's heart, that there is only reverse
psychology; he's trying to bamboozle those moneyswine into begging their
bought Congressmen, "Hey, call this shit off, before you bring the whole
house down on all our heads!"
