Probably not a WOB, but amusing nonetheless

Almost certainly just a transcription error, but it still made me laugh. Then again, if it was being transcribed by a human, maybe it is a WOB.

Bolton: “While nothing Donald Trump did after the election, in connection with the lie about the election fraud, none of it is defensible — none of it is defensible — it’s also a mistake as some people have said including on the committee, the commentators, that somehow this was a carefully planned coup d’etat aimed at the Constitution. That’s not the way Donald Trump does things. It’s rambling from one half-vast idea to another....​

 
It’s not merely a transcription error. If you watch the video, Bolton clearly says “half-vast”. He even pauses briefly after ‘half’ and accentuates ‘vast’.

That’s top shelf stuff.
 
So coups are “a lot of work” according to Bolton. I thought those things were supposed to be secret. Which coups did John Bolton help orchestrate?
There was the half-vast effort in Venezuela.
Remember that? The guy who dropped grenades from a helicopter?

The rogue police officer behind a helicopter attack on Venezuelan government buildings is an action film star who paints himself as a James Bond-cum-Rambo figure on social media.
