Lots of people on social media have been having fun this April Fool's Day. We've seen attorneys tweeting that they're quitting their current jobs to join Truth Social as in-house counsel, and Twitter itself averring that it's working on an edit button. Also a bulletin that Glenn Youngkin resigned as Virginia Governor — which really isn't funny, because the Lieutenant Governor is worse.
And this tweet from former President Obama isn't even an April Fool. But we liked it anyway!
The real April Fool? It has to be Republican Congressman and all-around nutcase Madison Cawthorn. Having been taken to the woodshed (or at least, Kevin McCarthy's version of the woodshed, which is pretty unimpressive) for saying that Republicans in Washington have sex and drug orgies, Cawthorn has gone on the offensive and has started blaming everyone but himself for his current woes.
"My comments on a recent podcast appearance calling out corruption [sic] has been used by the left and the media [sic] to disparage my Republican colleagues and falsely insinuate their involvement in illicit activities," he bleated.
Wow! That's moxie. Transparent, pathetic, ineffectual moxie. But Madison's giving it his all.
Cawthorn can protest all he wants about how he's a victim of "the left" and "the media." But we see one ending, and one ending only, for him. It recalls another immature thug by the name of Pelle Lindbergh, and involves a single car and a tree. At least, we hope it does. In the meantime, we cats HISS.
