2020 Race \u2013 04DEC2019 Update"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Well here we are in December and Kamala Harris even ending her campaign is so boring I can barely bother to fake interest in watching her rip-cord speech.\u00a0 And I shouldn\u2019t have bothered.\u00a0 She didn\u2019t even cry or anything.\u00a0 Sure, her face looked kind of spastic at points but that\u2019s just her face.\u00a0 Of course, she gave us the blather about fighting on and on for women and persons of color and colorful personal women but it looked like she was really connecting the dots hoping she can be Butt Pete\u2019s running mate.\u00a0 There just wasn\u2019t any fun in the whole thing.<\/p>\n<p>So, the highlights of the race in the last few weeks were:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Joe Biden and the details of the Corn Pop speech with his blond leg hair and kids playing with it in the pool.<\/li>\n<li>Joe Biden\u2019s No Malarkey Barnstorming Iowa Magical Mystery Tour Bus<\/li>\n<li>Joe Biden tries to amputate his wife\u2019s forefinger with his new shiny white dentures<\/li>\n<li>Eric Swalwell farts on the Chris Matthews Show.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Well all right, that last one doesn\u2019t count because Swalwell resigned a while ago.\u00a0 But it actually was the funniest thing in the list.\u00a0 Honestly, it\u2019s starting to seem like even the Democrats know that they will lose in 2020 but feel like they have to hang in there just in case famine or pestilence breaks out to save them.\u00a0 Unfortunately, they\u2019re atheists and divine intervention wouldn\u2019t take their side.<\/p>\n<p>The other hope they hold is the Impeachment Show.\u00a0 But it seemed to run out of gas and viewers last week and turning it over to Nadler doesn\u2019t promise to improve things.\u00a0 No, they\u2019re going to have to try to hold the public\u2019s interest on their own with debates and commercials and PBS and CBS specials.\u00a0 But it\u2019s hopeless.\u00a0 The only non-boring actors, Biden and Sanders, are certifiable loons.\u00a0 Creepy Uncle Joe gets weirder every time he opens his mouth and it can\u2019t be long before he starts undressing on stage and challenges the audience to a wrestling match.\u00a0 Bernie, on the other hand, will eventually slip up and reveal his deep longing for the return of Stalinist Russia and the good old days.<\/p>\n<p>A month or two ago I threw in the towel on Joe being the candidate and assumed Liarwatha was the front runner.\u00a0 But supposedly she imploded when people figured out the Green New Deal and Medicaid for All would actually mean the new tax rate would be 150% of total salary.\u00a0 So now Butt Pete is \u201cThe Man,\u201d sort of.\u00a0 But let\u2019s face it, none of them can win or even look like a realistic candidate for President of the United States.\u00a0 And admittedly Donald Trump wouldn\u2019t have seemed like a likely candidate for president a generation ago.\u00a0 But the gap between President Trump and this Field of Losers from the Island of Broken Toys is disturbing.\u00a0 I can only assume they\u2019re saving the normal candidates for 2024.<\/p>\n<p>All right, so that\u2019s where we are.\u00a0 Bloomfield and Patrick have joined the circus but more clowns are not going to change the equation.\u00a0 I still hold out great hope that the Presidential Debates between the President and whichever midget is nominated will be a laugh riot. \u00a0But until then I\u2019ll have to subsist on Biden gaffes and Swalwell gas.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a
