Enter
be medication for that. I think he’s
a mediocre congressman who’s got
no legislative record, and the only
time he makes national press is
when he comes out and says something offensive about the undocumented or Hispanics.”
Republican Party, this is all stuff
that makes these shows really painful for people like me to watch. I
wake up in the morning and see
that I’m going to have to sit through
a segment with Donald Trump and
my reservoir of “willingness to go
on living” just evaporates.
Surely you guys feel the same
way, when the guy that Meet the
Press goes out and gets for their
panel discussion on immigration
— strictly for the purpose of derailing it — is the guy who recently embarrassed y’all with his discussion of illegal immigrants and
their sacks-of-marijuana-based
Crossfit regimen. You guys probably don’t like seeing these guys
get booked any more than I do.
Perhaps our interests are aligned?
Hey, we called around and got
some quotes about Sunday offering of Trump-Gohmert-King,
just for fun. “Looking forward
to future Sunday shows filled
with Markwayne Mullin,” griped
one GOP operative. Another told

IN ANGST
us, “We have Fox and we use
(like props) the most irritating,
obscure Democratic political
voices, like Bob Beckel, Susan
Estrich, Pat Caddell, and Debbie
Wasserman-Schultz. They have
the major networks. We used to
get Bachmann [on these shows],
and now it looks like we’re gonna get Gohmert. [Bob] Dole’s
Meet the Press appearance record could be in jeopardy.”

Look, Republican Party, there
is probably nothing you can do
about Donald Trump, because he
is a unique, sparkling gas-sack
unto himself. But can you guys
see about keeping Gohmert and
King occupied on Sunday mornings? Maybe give them both
a sack of jacks and a rubber ball
to bounce, or something? It
would make my life better and
it might even make your
jobs easier as well.
