"...not even a mother..."

This week Mitch McConnell, when accused of earning his wealth by using his position as a senator clarified how he became a millionaire. He inherited his wealth. I would think this comes as no surprise to anyone considering that McConnell isn't smart enough to have earned millions, and not appealing enough to have won over others with wealth. He is, however unctuous enough that, having millions, he could oil his way into positions of power and control. We also can assume that he inherited his incredible homeliness from one or both parents. His lack of any humanity, honesty, integrity or humility we can be certain he achieved all on his own.

Yuck!

Mitch McConnell has said, "I'm the only Republican running this year that every crazy liberal in the country has heard of." Yes, we've heard of you because you've been mouthing off from day one of Obama's administration that you wanted to make sure he was a one-term president. This was, of course, even before you know what kind of president he would be, which was incredibly unpatriotic of you. So, yes, we've heard your whining, your lying and your wishing for the defeat of a man a thousand times better than you. Then you said your opponent would be proclaiming she is a new face, but "a new face for what?" Mitch it doesn't matter for what. We have never liked your terrapin features, your jowls, your watery dead eyes, or anything about your nasty, negative countenance, so any face would be a relief. The only time I want to see your face is on a news report delivering a concession speech. 

Possibly a king maker, never a king.

"And therefore, since I cannot prove a lover
To entertain these fair well-spoken days,
I am determined to prove a villain
And hate the idle pleasures of these days."
         William Shakespeare





I always liked this speech, but tonight I saw it in a different context. It made me think of Mitch McConnell. I wondered what could make a person so cold, so reptilian, so mean-spirited, so eager to crush the working people of American and deny them health services, a living wage and not only the pursuit but the achievement of happiness. Then it decided it was for many reasons. Mostly because he's an ugly man: jowly, watery-eyed, not a single attractive features. How bitter did that make him? Being born in Alabama with the first name Addison couldn't have helped. Then when he tried to be macho by joining the U.S. Army Reserve, he got an early discharge for optic neuritis, often associated with multiple sclerosis. He revealed how ardent an American patriot he is when he said we wanted to "make Obama a one-term president". He's now on his second marriage—amazing he got a first—and worth, by some reports, as much as $44,000,000. I guess now that he has his, he really doesn't care about anyone else. Yes, definitely, an ugly, ugly man in every possible way. 

The unhappiest man in Washington.

One of the great pleasures of Obama's reelection is knowing how miserable it will make this vindictive old turkey. Does this ugly old man realize how much destruction he has done to America in his racist vendetta again one of our finest presidents. Worse, does Mitch McConnell intend to continue his evil antics and petulant behavior? Or is he ready to throw in the towel and see if he regain even a shred of decency and fairness? I doubt it. A face doesn't get like that by good deeds and harmonious compromise. Each line and crevice is carved by continual scowling and pouting. And the waddle? That is created by the constant negative shaking of the head.
