When George Conway tweeted a few hours ago, "Is a fourth quarter really necessary here," there was no need to ask what he was talking about — even among us non-football fans.
That's because Florida pooh-bahs — Republicans all — have been making fools of themselves lately, suing the NCAA over Florida State's "wrongful exclusion" from this year's playoffs, and using taxpayer money to do it. Really? Is Florida so free of other problems right now that they can devote precious state resources to a sports thing? They have no insurance crisis, no global warming, no lack of affordable housing? Good to know they're in such great shape!
And now, at tonight's Orange Bowl, those bleating GOP masters of faux outrage got their just deserts: Florida State fell to the University of Georgia Bulldogs by the jaw-dropping score of 63 to 3.
We have no idea if this wipeout has any bearing on the validity of Florida State's playoff exclusion, and we don't really care. It's just a marvelous face-washing for the Ron DeSantises, Rick Scotts, Ashley Moodys and Marco Rubios of the world. We cats PURR.
