"untenable" = "unattainable"?!? Her stupidity would be hilarious if it weren't for the fact that she is a member of Congress and causing severe damage to all of America with her utter ignorance. I also read that only about 50% of voters turned up to vote in her district in Colorado. Sad and horrifying.

Who are her constituents in Colorado that would elect such a moron? Must be proud!

I find it ironic that even with the election of he-who-must-not-be-name still only got one vote from Gaetz even though Boebert is saying she "loves Trump". It's obvious that while she claims she loves him her loyalty is not to him or anyone for that matter. She is a picture perfect description of l'enfant terrible.

She is further proof that GOP supporters are so blindly loyal that they would vote for a dead dog if it came clothed in red. Or, in her case, someone as dumb as a bag of hammers.

No offense to hammers, of course. ;)

It's one of my favorite lines from "O Brother, where art thou."

I learned that line when I was in the Navy, back in the 1980's. I assume, therefore, that it originated sometime during the civil war.

Interesting. Yeah I love it even though it doesn't make any logical sense. But then again, what does? :)

I’m afraid to say that I am in her district, being in the blue pocket of Durango in the huge geographic Colorado District 3. It was an astonishingly close race, as Jay noted. Bobo is a train wreck, and I could fill paragraphs about her, but am resisting doing that. There is no question that she is profoundly unqualified. I don’t know whether to continue to shake my head about her being a United States Representative, or to have a sense of schadenfreude glee that the republicans got what they deserved with her. However these attempts to put McCarthy in the speaker’s chair turn out, this will not be the last of her undermining the entire United States. Further, it is easy to imagine her being manipulated by an agent of a foreign power. Really. Her high school attainment is a GED, not even finishing school. I hope the entire democratic apparatus gets behind Adam Frisch in 2 years. He is the one who almost beat her in a mostly red district, and with support, he could oust her.

Democracy is great isn't it? It truly is the best form of government in the world today but if the voters are ignorant idiots...

Well there you go...

Not only if the voters are ignorant idiots, but also if the Electoral college are ignorant idiots.

If? Doug, the R's are in the business of creating ignorance. They gut education at every opportunity, and this is why.

Ok change it to "when". ;)

I love the screenshots of Ruhle! Side eye and all. As humorous as I find McCarthy’s multiple losses it is also not a good thing that the house is currently unable to do any work for the citizens. GOP has completely lost it.

I feel like you had fun writing this one, Jay. Good information, but lots of creative descriptions throughout. Demon spawn, indeed!

Thank you! I did have some fun, otherwise it would be too depressing to even think about.

Her constituents must be so proud. smh

I watched the MSNBC interview on Stephanie Ruhle's show and I had a hard time following it. It was like there was a third person involved in the conversation that they were responding to that I couldn't see or hear. My dog had to get up and go to bed. It was hysterical on mute just watching Ruhle's facial expressions and arm waving.

Is there a Lauren Bobert Fan Club?

YOU GO GIRL!!!!

Hahahahaha!

Jay, thanks for this bit of fun. I needed a laugh today.

Once again, we need to develop minimum qualifications for a(ny) Congressional seat. US Citizen and age 25 is not nearly enough.

This is what disinterest in voting gets us. I have many more words for this person, but ...

I’m afraid it would take a Constitutional amendment…

Having an education beyond a GED should be required as well. Where do they find these people?

Expand full comment

Well, they found her running a dive bar. And maybe having to pass the same citizenship test that incoming citizens need to pass.

Wannabe movie star social media apps...it's gross.

Amusing article. Thanks.

The stupid is VERY strong with that one . . .

Having flashbacks of Manchin and Sinema. I wonder though if the GOP can figure out how to get anything done with their Freedom To Do Nothing caucus?

I saw it described as “governing with a straitjacket on.”

If there were a few from the GOP not planning on being re-elected, I’d try to convince them to support Jeffries! 😏

Did her mom have any kids who actually lived? Geesh. How stupid can a person be and survive?
