Thought you’d heard all of the strange, fawning pro-Trump comments Republicans can regurgitate when a camera is pointed at them? If so, Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) may have just won the contest as chief bootlicker with remarks he made during an appearance on Fox News.
Speaking with Fox host Sean Hannity, Sen. Kennedy — who is sometimes referred to as Sen. Foghorn Leghorn — had this to say about the so-called president who is single-handedly destroying the U.S. economy while simultaneously conducting an idiotic on-again, off-again war with Iran: “President Trump has oranges the size of beach balls. He truly is tough as a pine knot.”
However, Kennedy was just getting warmed up.
“It’s clear to me that in defense of America, he will eat your liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti. The whole world knows now that America will fight, and everybody’s paying attention, including our enemies and especially Iran.”
Yes, that was indeed a reference to remarks made by Dr. Hannibal Lecter in “The Silence of the Lambs,” but is that really appropriate when discussing an ongoing military conflict that has claimed thousands of innocent lives across the Middle East?
Whatever Sen. Kennedy is smoking, most of us would sure love to have some of it so we can try and forget the fact that the price of everything is going up and we can barely afford to put groceries on the table or buy the gasoline we need to get to the store.
Or as Foghorn Leghorn himself might say on the subject of Sen. Kennedy’s remarks, “That boy is about as sharp as a bowling ball.”
