I think “shat their pants” is a closer approximation of what they did.

You guys will screw up taxes too. You’re better off shutting up about all of it.

So easy to believe he’s actually talking about 19th century muskets as that’s where Republican are still stuck in their social policies.

I find this pretty funny and applaud the staffer for keeping his humor about this. I have no trouble believing that 80-something Hatch, who has lived his life in a Mormon bubble, wouldn’t know any better. Now, if only his politics weren’t so execrable…

It really WAS a gun term first. If you fire a shotgun even today you see the wadding, not the pellets. The wad is a real thing. “shot his wad” would refer to, say, a poorly trained soldier who forgot to push the actual bullet into the barrel before pulling the trigger

Alternately, finding a trapeze, a circus midget and a donkey in his bedroom would restore my faith in mankind.

I just read a headline that mentioned “Orrin Hatch” and “shot their wad” in the same sentence.
Please excuse me whilst I go kneel before the porcelain wok and jam my finger down my throat.

Hilarious write up, Mr. Shuhan. This and your earlier article on the bot with the trump store - but gave me a good laugh this afternoon.

This is why you always take 2 Mormons to play golf. If you take only 1, they will drink all the beer in your cooler.

Hatch frequently has to change his “temple garment”.

Hatch takes more time to explain a non-sexual meaning to the term “shot their wad” than any work he’s ever done in the Senate since the beginning of his political career.

Lucky Mike Pence didn’t say something like this. Think of how hard it would be to explain to “Mother”!

No doctor will be able to help you with that…

Orrin doesn’t need Viagra. He just thumbs through old editions of the Lane Bryant catalog.

I am happy that they are wasting their time on this and not other things. I am happy to look foolish and ridiculous if it takes up their oxygen.

83 year-old Orrin Hatch merely dribbles on a good night.
