Discussion: McConnell Doesn't Get Why Jon Stewart's 'All Bent Out Of Shape' Over 9/11 Benefits

1 Like

“We’ve never failed to address this issue and we will address it again,” McConnell said during a “Fox and Friends” interview. “I don’t know why he’s all bent out of shape, but we will take care of the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund.”

18 years later (at least) ? Make the SOB repeat this again and again…

“I don’t know why he’s all bent out of shape…"

And that’s the problem.

I pine for the day when I only see the name Mitch McConnell in history books, listed with swamp creatures like John Calhoun and Strom Thurmond as some of the most loathsome and hideous people to ever disgrace the halls of Congress.

There are certainly other men who have governed in bad faith, but McConnell uniquely seems to revel in it. Making all of the right noises, but grinning, jeering, like he knows he and we are all in on the same joke.

The wily, manipulative “genius” is so smug, confident, and disdainful and yet he won’t appear on ANY news network except Fox. At least Trump talked to ABC (I’m sure much to his distress).

McConnell can’t even pretend to give a fuck.

I wonder how this is playing down in KY…McConnell is holding up a lot of things that everyone would be in favor of, and this one looks pretty bad since it’s crapping on 9/11 rescuers. And, it has a very good spokesperson, who has a history of picking on anyone who makes government less good. McConnell’s lackadaisical response here really should damage him…KY Democrats really need to put up a strong candidate against him, he’s likely more vulnerable than he seems, and things like this really could take him down.

Nothing like a tone-deaf response to make your idiotic and undefensible position news-worthy.

Talk to the Blue-Water vets from Vietnam about how you “take care of people” who’ve served their country.

Who’s going to run against this slime ball in the next election? Does anyone think he’ll decide to retire thinking he’s done maximum damage?

Scrawled on a men’s room wall at Mar-a-Lago: “McConnell licks boot.”

“Socialism” = anything that Mitch McConnell and the GOP don’t like. Lowering infant mortality rate, especially among Black women, socialism! Fair taxation, socialism! Enhanced access to higher education, socialism; universal healthcare including unrestricted access to family planning, socialism! Marmite, socialism!

I’m trying to think of another American politician of my lifetime as craven and heartless as Mitch McConnell, and I’m coming up empty.

His only competition is Gingrich.

McConnell is the least popular Senator in the country.
His approval ratings are consistently in the very low 30s.

Amy McGrath has a good chance of defeating him next year.

Can we get a shout out for Denny Hastert?

McConnell is so cynical and soulless, that none of the negative remarks about him cause him even the slightest discomfort.

He is shameless and incapable of feeling anything remotely positive about anyone.

Just what I was going to write. He revels in others’ hatred of him (because of his power) while Trump is terrified of it and lashes out.
