Names making news

 For someone professing to be a Christian, Colorado misrepresentative Lauren Boebert is demonstrating that she hasn't done enough reading of the Gospels.

Like a deer in the headlights, isn't she?

Boebert's latest gaffe was to try to sell the idea that despite being crucified for our sins being His holy mission, Jesus could've saved himself if he was armed with an AR-15, which, of course, hadn't been invented yet.

If she was attempting to do stand-up comedy, she failed. Badly. Worse for her, she may have just cost herself the evangelical vote in mile high country, and, in turn, re-election.

Thanks for coming. Don't quit your day job. Yet.

===========================================

30 years ago, the then-World Wrestling Federation was getting its first taste of scandal involving a ring announcer, a road agent-producer, and some "ring boys". Mind you, this was six years after the first female referee to work for the company was chased off after being forced to perform oral sex for her boss. 

The boss? Vincent Kennedy McMahon, who at the time was a play-by-play announcer who had bought the company from his father a few years earlier, and began rebuilding it into the global brand it is today. As we know, McMahon was publicly outed as the owner of the company in the 90's after he went on trial in another scandal, this one involving steroids.

We bring this up because today, McMahon, 76, is embroiled in another sex scandal, but this time of the more traditional variety, if ya will.

The Wall Street Journal broke the story on Wednesday that McMahon had had an affair with an unnamed paralegal assistant, who has since left the company, and received a settlement to the tune of $3 million. On-again, off-again VP/Talent Relations John Laurinaitis took on the woman as his assistant, and, keep in mind, this was after Laurinaitis had married the mom of the Bella Twins (Brianna & Nicole Garcia).

As of press time, McMahon & Laurinaitis were still on track to be at Smackdown tomorrow night in Minneapolis. Many feel that McMahon will come out of this unscathed, but Laurinaitis won't.

Laurinaitis, you'll remember, was a big reason why Naomi (Trinity Fatu) & Sasha Banks (Mercedes Varnado) had left the company last month over creative differences. If he's gone, do they return? Rumors are also circulating that Banks could be released, but that would be highly unlikely, since All Elite Wrestling would scoop her up in about half a heartbeat if that were true.

While there are those who will look toward Chief Revenue Officer/President Nick Khan, who has been with the company just 19 months, as being the beneficiary of this scandal, that would be overthinking it. He's a numbers type of guy with no wrestling knowledge.

Prediction: If Laurinaitis is gone by the end of the summer, Naomi & Sasha will return, and so will Vince's daughter, Stephanie.
