If you were wondering how Republicans are taking the electoral shellacking they were hit with last week, you don’t have to look any further than Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) to realize that the GOP has lost what was left of its collective mind.
Kennedy was a guest on Sean Hannity’s boring Fox News show Wednesday evening, and he suggested that members of his party could still accomplish major achievements in the lame duck session of Congress before Democrats take control of the House and Senate in January.
“People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care,” Kennedy began, but things quickly went downhill from there.
And let me put it another way — a smart man washes his hands after he urinates. A wise man doesn’t urinate on his hands. We Republicans in the Senate need to stop thinking we’re so smart.”
“This was not a normal midterm election loss,” he continued. “If you think that, congratulations, you’re stupid. As my friend [Sen.] Jim Justice (R-W.Va.) says, Toby and Edith, they didn’t stay home. They voted for Democrats, and we’ve gotta get Toby and Edith back. … We’ve got 50-plus days while Republicans are still in charge.”
Oh, and this wasn’t the first time in the same day Kennedy made his urination analogy. On the floor of the Senate earlier in the day, he told his colleagues, “A smart man washes his hands after he urinates. A wise man doesn’t urinate on his hands. We need to stop urinating on our hands.”
Kinda makes you wonder what Sen. Kennedy does in the bathroom, doesn’t it? Are his colleagues reluctant to shake his hand? He’s clearly obsessed with urination, and that doesn’t exactly inspire confidence.
As you’d expect, reaction to Kennedy’s remarks flooded the internet.
