Revenge Of The Smurfs

By Miss Kubelik

Congressman Jared Moskowitz, Democrat of Florida, is a funny guy. If you've caught him at the House Oversight Committee, you know what we mean. He mocks the Republicans' hypocrisy (for example, calling their bluff on impeaching Biden), and never fails to get under committee Chairman James Comer's skin.

Comer, in fact, was annoyed enough last fall that he told Moskowitz, "You look like a Smurf." (A comment on Jared's royal-blue suit, it seems.) But Moskowitz doesn't let a silly insult get him down. "I'll miss you during recess, James," he tweeted yesterday.

The Comer-Moskowitz imbroglio has even edged its way into the NHL Eastern Conference finals between the New York Rangers and Florida Panthers. "We are coming for ya, baby girl," Jared tweeted a few days ago at New York Congressman and fellow Democrat Dan Goldman.

"Bring it, Smurfette," Goldman answered, pledging to gift Moskowitz's staff with a pastrami and corned beef lunch if the Panthers win. "But I’m much more interested in what I will be winning when the Rangers move on to the Stanley Cup Finals."

Jared's answer? "I am so confident that the Panthers are going to beat the Rangers that I'm willing to give a one-minute speech on the House Floor on what a great American patriot James Comer is."

We hope the Panthers beat the Rangers (old habits from 1996 die hard, and besides, panthers are cats, you know). But if they don't, Moskowitz's speech on Comer will be must-see TV. We cats PURR.
