If you need more evidence that we’re living in an Age of Absurdity, an absolute clown world in which clowns not only abound, but run the show and tell the rest of us how we should think, look no further. MSNBC host Katy Tur has made what must be one of the most outlandish, ridiculous statements of this young century, a century that has been full to the brim with absurdity. On Wednesday, Tur suggested that a really great candidate for president of the United States would be none other than Pennsylvania’s illustrious senator-elect, John Fetterman. Yes, aside from being not of sound mind, he is a hoodie-wearing schlub. The perfect Democrat candidate.
Now, stop laughing. After all, Old Joe Biden is the president now, or at least the man who holds the title, and he is hardly a model of eloquence, insight, strength of character, or firmly-held principle. And if Old Joe, who will turn 80 in less than two weeks, can pretend to be president, why can’t John Fetterman, who at a mere 53 represents the young, dynamic, new generation of Democrats?
Tur, according to Fox News, “floated the viability of, ‘Fetterman, as a nominee at some point for president,’ before later going on to [mention] his record for surpassing President Biden and former President Trump’s vote share in the state.” Then MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell likewise “praised Fetterman for making so much progress with voters,” saying, “I spent a lot of time covering this race, and with Pennsylvania politics, going back some decades, and I started my career there, but the fact that John Fetterman did, first of all, so much better with White non-college-educated voters. Better than Biden, better than Trump, so he ran ahead of both of them, but he also, you know, did fairly well in the cities and in the [unintelligible] counties.”
Fetterman’s performance in his debate against Mehmet Oz, however, showed that the man is in way over his head, and those concerns are or should be even greater now that he is poised to enter the Senate, for he revealed himself to be thoroughly incapable of forming and articulating a coherent thought. All he represents is another Democratic vote, and he will follow obediently whatever orders Chuck Schumer gives him. So why couldn’t he do the same thing in the Oval Office? After all, Old Joe has on many occasions referred to the possibility of his “getting in trouble” with unnamed people if he didn’t follow the script he had been given. Clearly, he is not calling the shots. Fetterman wouldn’t even be able to if he wanted to, making him even more ideal for the Democrats as a possible presidential candidate.
There is more. Read the rest here.
