Mike picked The Idiot of 2023:
Idiot of 2023
As the year winds down, it's obvious we've seen a lot of stupidity.
Some of you may go immediately to Donald Trump. And, no question, he's an idiot. But I ruled him out. Not out of sympathy for his stink being revealed -- see Marcia's "That smell" and Ann's "Marcia, we have an answer" -- nor out of the rumor going around that too much peggy has resulted in a gaping hole and that's where Trump's primary stink is coming from.
No, what it came down to was the fact that he's insane. He's stupid, for sure. But he's actually more crazy. Clinically and criminally insane also ruled out hate merchants like Riley Gaines, Moms For Bigotry, Mayim Bialk, etc.
The clear winner? The winner probably nailed it in the swimsuit competition with a smooth, no bulge, speedo appearance. That's right Doo-Doo DeSantis.
What an idiot. He started out the year as the self-proclaimed king of the GOP and he ended the year as Mike Johnson's plus one.
A tiny man who tried to fuel a campaign on hate saw all the enthusiasm and support leak out of his campaign month after month yet wasn't able to grasp that he was running voters off.
Flash forward ten years and Doo-Doo DeSantis is living in obscurity, an unemployed dad raising his three gay children now that Casey has left him and moved to China to marry Zhong Shanshan
A prayer: Dear God, please let 2023 be the last time this nation -- or any nation -- has to endure Doo-Doo DeSantis.
