(L to R) Sens. Tom Cotton (R-AK) and David Perdue (R-GA) share a
relaxing moment on the Senate Chamber wall. While they disagree on what time it
is, the certainly agree on why we had slavery and the size of Jewish noses.
Senator Rand Paul, says
the New Yorker Magazine’s Andy Borowitz, is grateful to Senator Tom Cotton for
replacing him as the most hated man in the US Senate. Maybe Andy spoke
too soon. The race for that prize is still on. Coming up on the outside approaching
the final turn is the little-known Sen. David Perdue of Georgia who is running
for reelection.
What’s Cotton’s problem?
He seems to think slavery was an important reason that the US became a country.
In a way he’s right. Without slavery this country never would be what it is
today, a cauldron of racial hatred, bigotry and stupidity. If that’s what
he wants it to be… well, that’s what he got. When he says slavery is what the
founders wanted, you know he flunked 6th grade history.
Now, what about Cotton’s
co-clock, David Perdue of Georgia. He’s campaigning on two issues.
1. The “Democrats are
trying to buy Georgia.”
What’s the price?
It’s probably lower than David wants it to be. After all, it’s an old beater of
a used car.
There are no Certified
Used States. Especially when you kick its tires and find traces of cross
burnings, Klan rallies, poverty, peaches, roadside rest stops and Ted Turner,
the man who single-handedly killed television. Also, labor laws that
allow union busting companies, Tobacco Road and a heater that’s always on full
blast.
Nobody wants to buy
Georgia. Not even Jimmy Carter.
Issue 2: His opponent,
Jon Ossoff is Jewish. Perdue’s ad shows a picture of Ossoff with an extended
and broadened nose. The so-called Jewish nose is one of history’s earliest
antisemitic tropes.
The Perdue campaign says
it was a “mistake,” committed by an outside and unidentified vendor.
Yeah, sure. The story first appeared in “The Forward,” formerly a
respected and venerable newspaper, now a website. Its reporter asks “Does
anybody believe Perdue’s explanation?” Bridge for sale. Also:
I report. You decide.
(And thanks to the late Roger Ailes for the stupidest motto in the history of
news.)
