Effin' Mitch McConnell

Seventy-one days and I haven’t stopped puking 18 pounds I've lost. But I’m down to morning,  noon, and night. I can write three paragraphs, if I pick the right time of day.

They’ll tell me I misheard. I hope so.
     I was listening to “Political Gabfest” this morning – David Plotz, Emily Bazelon, and Jamelle Bouie (sitting in for John Dickerson) – and the panelists were praising – at least, they were not damning – Mitch McConnell. The great political strategist. But he isn’t a strategist at all. He’s an obstructionist, without politics. His only goal is not political, it’s to get his own way whatever the reasons or no reasons: eff anyone that may disagree, eff protocol, eff the institution of the Senate, eff what is right, eff the United States of America.  So,
     never give him any credit, even indirectly, for any thing. Eff him and the horse he rode in on, and the voters of Kentucky, who apparently care no more about what is right and proper or in the national interest than he does. Finally, eff the myth of Mitch McConnell, the political strategist. Look at the hard, crass, crooked, unprincipled man.
