“And when you shut the government down, people don’t get paid. And maybe if none of us got paid if the government shut down some people on the other side of the aisle would feel differently.”
Thus spoke Connecticut Representative Rosa DeLauro, a Democrat, naturally. The longtime Congress-creature is best-known for her histrionic tantrums whenever the C-Span cameras are rolling. This time she was going off about the possibility of a government shut-down over the now-annual-and-boring tug of war about the budget in Congress. As this goes to press, news just came in that the House and Senate finally passed a bill to keep the government open, which Biden then signed.
DeLauro will be happy, but what about the rest of us? As a liberal, DeLauro is out of touch by definition with what the majority of the country thinks about the government. Now, we haven’t conducted a poll, but it’s a fair guess that at least half the voting population would cheer if the D.C. pigs got their trough taken away and sent home over Christmas. “Keep civil servants and politicians getting paid!” is not a rallying cry that works on any normal human who doesn’t collect a paycheck taken from other people’s money.
But it’s not politics I want to draw your attention to, but style. Batshit crazy style. Take a look at Rosa over the years.
As of press time we can neither confirm nor deny the veracity of rumors speculating that DeLauro may be a missing link to the Skeksis of Dark Crystal renown.
DeLauro has a bee in her considerable bonnet over Elon Musk, as is the case for leftist crones generally. Shaking her shoulders and fairly spitting during her Congressional tirade, DeLauro derisively accused the tech billionaire of responsibility for the then-looming government shut-down, ejaculating “President Musk!” in fury at the podium, practically shaking as she spoke.
Watch the embarrassing performance below:
Elon caught wind of the speech – firing back “When they said ‘DC swamp creatures,’ I thought it was just a metaphor.”
Aaaaand it looks like Twitter/X users beat this writer to the punch.
Gelflings, beware.
