Mitch the Bitch
Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Meet the Press, “The president says he’s a Christian, I take him at his word.” As the Daily Beast noted, he said it twice, so we know this very un-Christian remark was well rehearsed.
If you like weasel-words, interview a weasel.
Senator McConnell would have us believe that he isn’t taking bribes, and I take him at his word. Nor does he fondle administrative assistants of either gender in his office, nor pick his nose, or at least I’m not aware of any smoking-gun evidence of that sort of thing.
His website shows no outright confessions of addictions to controlled substances, so I don’t see any reason to accuse him of that – especially not sodium pentothal or any other truth serum because over the past several years I’ve seen him lie about health reform, financial reform, stimulus, coal mining damage, tax cuts, food stamps, and unemployment benefits. But he claims to say what he believes, so I take him at his word that he’s just easily duped.
Either he’s manipulated into repeating slanders by terrorists, foreign agents, or Rupert Murdoch — or, he’s dumber than a stump.
Finally, the senator has not admitted to his intention to destroy Social Security and Medicare, so we’ll just have to take his word for it unless he actually succeeds.
I notice, though, that Senator McConnell doesn’t even claim to have earned his millions through legitimate efforts or enterprise, so the full story on the sources of his wealth remains to be revealed unless and until some of his illegitimate children, if he has any, rat him out.
In this country even the guiltiest person is innocent until proven otherwise, and so it should be in the case of Senator Otherwise.
