Thursday Thrashing, Week #8
I'll spare you the intro and get right to it...
3/8/18
Senator Mitch McConnell
317 Russell Senate Office
Building,
Washington, DC 205100001
Dear Mitch,
About two months ago I embarked on a mission to write to
each of our Republican US Senators and offer them my personal review of their
performance. It's sort of like YELP. Of course, with the dire direction our
country is going in (porn stars/WH defections/money laundering/ Russians/and
more porn stars) it's more like HELP.
This is now the 8th letter of its kind.
With you being the ranking majority Senator, you'd think you
would have been the first to receive a letter. That honor went to Bob Corker.
In fact, perhaps due to my early senility or perhaps due to
the hot lava like rage I feel towards your Tennessee cohort, I've actually
penned TWO letters to Corky, who flips and flops more than an oxygen-starved mackerel on the deck of an Alaska fishing boat.
A long-winded way of saying, Mitch, you just don't merit my
respect.
Truth be told, I had given serious thought to writing all 52
letters and purposely not writing to
you; the Merrick Garland treatment if you will.
But, here we are, so permit me to unload on the piss poor
positions you have taken on the pressing issues of the day.
On Russian election interference, you stated...oh wait you
haven't stated anything.
On the House Intel Committee debacle, uh...again nothing.
On Stormy Daniels, nothing.
On the breakdown of DACA talks, nothing.
On the recent Florida school shootings, nothing.
On gun reform, nothing. (No wait that's not true, you
mentioned gun control and then said bank reform was more important.)
On the Rob Porter wife beating violence, nothing.
On the porous WH security clearance passes, nothing.
On the president's refusal to issue Russian Sanctions,
nothing.
On shithole countries, nothing.
On the president's personal attacks on fellow Senator John
McCain, nothing.
On Kelly Anne Conway's violation of the Hatch Act, nothing.
On the bogus Nunes Memo, nothing.
On Charlottesville, nothing.
On the failed rescue of Puerto Rico, nothing.
I'm sure you are aware of the meme concerning your
indifference to such suffering.
But personally I find the whole turtle sticking its head in
its shell to be tired and hackneyed. Moreover, it's wrong. Because it connotes
a moving, breathing organism that still possesses life.
But like ethics, morals and sense of duty to country, you
have none.
I prefer to think of you not as a turtle but as a large,
muddied sedimentary boulder pressing down on the neck of America. Suffocating
the country with nothing more but the unmoving forces of gravity, until the lifeblood
of democracy and liberty no longer flow freely, leaving nothing but a dried up
corpse of a once great nation.
That'll be your legacy, Mitch.
Have a great day Senator.
