A mcTurtle smile and a blue work shirt does not confer normalcy…
Much less humanity.
Deli counters are famous for one thing, bologna, but Mitch always orders 3/4 of a pound of lizard sliced thick.

I know we are all used to the turtle thing with this fella, and it is funny, but I think it somehow humanizes him. I like turtles, I think most of us do. Mitch I do not like.

First we started spitting on his potato salad and then wiping snot on his turkey sandwich but the old fart kept coming back for more like a golden retriever. Honestly we cant get rid of him…

When you have to convince the electorate that you’re a human being, haven’t you already lost the argument?

Seems like McConnell’s getting a little scared in the final days.This race is one the most interesting to me, solely because of how high Grimes is polling in a red state. I hope that the GOTV in KY flips this next week.

"He was a thin, stoop-shouldered man not much under six feet tall, dressed in shabby blue civilian clothes and wearing a frayed grey golf cap. The odd, deep creases in the sides of his neck made him seem older when one did not study his dull, expressionless face. He had a narrow head, bulging, watery blue eyes that seemed never to wink, a flat nose, a receding forehead and chin, and singularly undeveloped ears. His long, thick lip and coarse-pored, greyish cheeks seemed almost beardless except for some sparse yellow hairs that straggled and curled in irregular patches; and in places the surface seemed queerly irregular, as if peeling from some cutaneous disease. His hands were large and heavily veined, and had a very unusual greyish-blue tinge. The fingers were strikingly short in proportion to the rest of the structure, and seemed to have a tendency to curl closely into the huge palm. As he walked toward the bus I observed his peculiarly shambling gait and saw that his feet were inordinately immense.
A certain greasiness about the fellow increased my dislike. He was evidently given to working or lounging around the fish docks, and carried with him much of their characteristic smell. Just what foreign blood was in him I could not even guess. His oddities certainly did not look Asiatic, Polynesian, Levantine, or negroid, yet I could see why the people found him alien. I myself would have thought of biological degeneration rather than alienage."

I know what you mean. I think of turtles and I think of Churchy LaFemme

or Toby Turtle
But what can you do. The guy just looks like a turtle.

I at least try and outfit him with a correct turtle avatar. Some people tried to compare him to Yertel the other day, but Yertel was heroic and pro labor. If he must be compared to a cartoon turtle, I suggest Tippy Turtle, the shiftless drunk who used to appear on Saturday Night Live.
As Churchy’s buddy once said, “I have met the enemy, and his name is Mitch McConnell.”
