This week in GOP stupidity

 When the going gets tough, the pseudo-tough run away.

That's exactly what Colorado Misrepresentative Lauren Gropert is doing, leaving her home district, the 3rd Congressional District, for the 4th, to avoid a rematch with Democrat Adam Frisch, contingent, of course, on whether or not she'd survive a Republican primary.

Gropert is angling to claim the seat being vacated by fellow Republican Ken (Spend a) Buck upon his retirement. However, there are other claimants on the GOP side in the 4th district, too, but the Mile High Airhead doesn't care. She's afraid of losing her portal of fame, and is ducking the 3rd district, despite the fact that not even a lot of registered Republican voters in her state like her, period.

Farron Cousins explains:

Assuming Gropert loses, the next place you'd likely see her is in a traveling burlesque show. Just sayin'.

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

Choo-Choo Charlie Kirk played his idiot card the other day. His target, once again, is singer Taylor Swift.

While most of the country is rightly chewing out FS1 bloviator Skip Bayless for his accusation that T-Swizzle is a distraction to beau Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs, Kirk took things even further, going so far as to claim that the relationship, just a few months old, is just for show.

Now, I'll submit that Kelce, who has landed endorsement deals with Pfizer, Lowe's, Campbell's Chunky Soup (with brother Jason, a lineman for the Philadelphia Eagles), and joining coach Andy Reid & Patrick Mahomes in shilling for State Farm, this season alone, is the envy of millions of guys everywhere who want to be in his shoes with the leggy Swift, who has raised the ire of Kirk and other right wing cementheads because she "dared" to encourage her fan base to register to vote, if they hadn't already done so. 

The way I see it, Kirk probably can't get any, so he's taking it out on Taylor. While CBS' Tony Romo has been caught with a case of foot-in-mouth disease twice this season, the most recent case coming Monday in the loss to Las Vegas, Kirk and Bayless had better hope Taylor doesn't write a song about them.

Pity poor Marjorie Taylor Greene.

The Georgia Misrepresentative's Christmas was ruined, as least as she claims, when she was targeted for swatting on Monday by some dipstick here in New York, who claimed he was going to commit suicide at Greene's home. I doubt that guy would even know how to find her house, much less use a road map, because it seems like Greene was targeted by some drunken idiot with nothing to do.

Then, to learn that on Tuesday, Greene's two adult daughters were also targeted for swatting. By her count, Greene says she's been swatted 8 times. Well, I hate to say it, but you brought it on yourself by being an embarrassment to Congress three years running, being in Washington as a means of kissing up to the oldest toddler in the country. If you actually bothered to do the job you were elected to do, instead of being a Paris Hilton wanna-be, you wouldn't have this happening.

In other words, you reap what you sow.
