And now for a special election-related edition of our regular feature, Two Weeks of Stupid: Clowns and OutragesClowns first. I like to think of at least some of the Clown Awards as somewhat light-hearted, things that even though they may be serious to the people directly involved, still involve such utter stupidity on someone's part as to make you laugh. I haven't really found a lot of that material recently. So this time I have as Clowns people who are being utterly nonsensical but who are not stupid. They know exactly what they are doing and they are doing it consciously.
So our Clowns this week are every single GOPper who has blathered and bloviated about how "the election isn't over" and "the media doesn't decide the election" - even though relying on media projections has never been a problem for them when they win.
Two examples will stand for the rest.
Sen. Lindsey Grahamcracker has been burbling about “a lot of shenanigans” supposedly taking place in the election - needless to say, without presenting a shred of evidence.
Tweetie-pie should not concede, he proclaimed, insisting "This is a contested election. The media doesn’t decide who becomes president. If they did, you would never have a Republican president forever. So we’re discounting them."
I would note that neither he nor any other GOPper was unwilling to accept media projections of Tweetie-pie's win in 2016, nor did he, as far as I can find, express any reservations about projections of his own win in his Senate race this time.
Then there is Ted Ooze, who claimed "We do not know who has prevailed in the election" because the results have not been certified yet. They never are at this point, it usually takes a couple of weeks, which again didn't matter to him in 2016 nor did he care when Tweetie-pie falsely claimed victory election night.
Final thought: Grahamcracker also said "If we don’t fight back in 2020, we’re never going to win again presidentially." Your mouth to God's ear, you Clown.
