Crazy Copies Crazy

A feud between lunatics Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert was inevitable.

C-Span cameras caught the two bickering on the House floor Wednesday and at one point, MTG called Bobo a “little bitch.”

When asked later about the tiff, Bobo said, “I’m not in middle school,” which we’re kinda sure she did graduate from. When asked about calling Bobo a “little bitch,” MTG told one news outlet, “She has genuinely been a nasty little bitch to me.”

What happened to the days when these two used to heckle in unison during the State of the Union addresses anytime President Biden talked about veterans and his son dying from cancer? Insert sad face.

Now, the Freedom (goon) Caucus has apparently taken a side and is discussing kicking MTG out.

According to one witness, MTG approached Boebert on the floor and said, “I’ve donated to you, I’ve defended you. But you’ve been nothing but a little bitch to me. And you copied my articles of impeachment after I asked you to cosponsor them.”

Yes, this about who wanted to impeach Biden first. They’re arguing over who can be the most stupid and ridiculous.

MTG said about Bobo’s resolution, “It’s purely for fundraising. It’s throwing out red meat so that people will donate to her campaign because she’s coming up on the end of the month, and she’s trying to produce good fundraising numbers.”

MTG is projecting because that’s exactly what her resolution is, red meat. Yes, MTG did introduce her stupid legislation first, twice even, and Bobo did copy her…but the resolutions they’re arguing over are total and complete bullshit.

Ya see, kids and wannabe constitutionalists, a president must have broken the law to be impeached. Impeachment is still a political act and you don’t need a court verdict to do it, but you do need a crime. Not liking President Biden’s policies are not reasons to impeach. Speaker Kevin McCarthy and other Republicans have been trying to bury these resolutions, and sent Bobo’s to die in a committee.

When Donald Trump was impeached there were crimes for both. There was his attempt to extort the president of Ukraine for dirt on his political opponent (the guy the Dumb Girls are trying to impeach now) and the insurrection. Now, MTG and Elise Stefanik are introducing a resolution to “expunge” the two impeachments of Donald Trump.

Stefanik, who became House Chair after the GOP voted to remove Liz Cheney from that post, said it would be as if “such articles of impeachment had never passed the full House of Representatives.” Except they did.

Also this week, the House voted to censure Adam Schiff for investigating Donald Trump’s ties to Russia. No word yet if they plan to censure all the Republicans involved in the Benghazi hearings or, hey…all the Republicans who have claimed there’s evidence they can’t find that President Biden took a bribe.

Kari Lake has blamed attention on the feud between MTG and Bobo on the…wait for it…left-wing media. Yeah, it’s the media’s fault for reporting what they said.

Watching MTG and Bobo bicker over something as ridiculous as impeaching President Biden reminds me of a tiff among cartoonists in 1999.

The yearly convention of the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists was in Chattanooga that year (I saw Peter Frampton) and the story about three quarreling cartoonists over who stole an idea first was one of the biggest subjects of that year’s gossip. Three cartoonists drew cartoons with very similar ideas within days of each other. I don’t even remember all the players involved but one was Michael Ramirez who reportedly called one of the other guys to politely ask him, “Hey, man…what’s the deal?” Or something like that. We didn’t have messenger or text back then or use email very much. It was 1999. If you had a cell phone, you wore it on your hip so everyone could see you owned a cell phone. Remember that? Why did we need phones on our hips, like we needed to quick-draw a phone call?

Naturally, the issue was never resolved because these things never are. Who drew it first? Did someone see it then copy it? Were they all coincidences? We’ll never know but the reason it reminds me of the MTG/Bobo feud is because it was over something stupid. The hokey-pokey.

You know, the song and game the hokey-pokey where you sing, “You put your left foot in you take your left foot out, you put your left foot in and you shake it all about?” Yeah? Remember that shit? It’s been used time and time again as an analogy in political cartoons…and it sucks. I argue, why would someone steal something so bad? If you have to steal the hokey-pokey for an anology, what are your original ideas like? At the time, I gave all three cartoonists the benefit of the doubt that nobody stole it because it was just so bad. I’m fairly confident it’s the one cliché I have never used.

Resolutions to impeach President Biden over bullshit are like the hokey-pokey. Why do you want credit for that? And even if you did come up with it first, you’re not being original.

I still laugh when I think of a cartoonist on the phone screaming at another cartoonist, “How dare you steal my hokey-pokey.” I wonder if he called him a “little bitch.”
