It's Monday morning, the Monday before Christmas and, having read Manchin's BS yesterday and the Sununu interview here, that tight band around my temples feels like a giant python has me in its grip. F--- Manchin with a bag of coal. His head has gotten two sizes larger being at the center of attention. BTW, the MEDIAN income in WV may be $16k, but more importantly it's lower than the national median income of about $32k AS WELL AS the national average of $56k, so they're in deep shit any way you cut it. Manchin and his family South don't impact the median but pull up the average, so he's got his and to hell with everyone else in WV.

And I wonder. Does Sununu's brain shut down as a mechanism to manage the cognitive dissonance between the facts presented and the nonsense spewed in return? Does no one ever call him out afterwards and say "Governor, caught you this morning on TV and you're full of crap. Just thought you should know you're not as smart as you think you are."

I guess I failed to take Michael Doane's advice by responding to the outrage with outrage. Sorry.

As a life-long NH resident, I can tell you that Sununu is a pious fraud. He's smart enough to know what's going on. He's affable as hell, which really impresses NYT and WaPo reporters used to foaming-at-the-mouth Midwestern diner denizens. He also is devoid of any political courage and would sell his mother for a vote, so the radical right and their comrades in the libertarian Free State Project run riot in the legislature.

First off, I read "HOST JAKE TAPPER" as "HOT TAKE TAPPER". Okay, I read fast and wrong, but I like my version better. As for Big Munchkin, what can I say? I invoke the wisdom of Michael Doane.

When it comes to Gov. Sununu's old man, John H. from the Dubya administration*, it's clear the shit don't fall very far from the horse !

Why isn't Schumer taking advantage or all the R's who have fled town by recalling all the D's and enough in-town R's to form a caucus, bringing up the original BBB bill, and voting it in NOW?

SHIT!!!! You know Yurtle the Turdle would do it in a hot minute.
