A perhaps paraphrased David Hyde Pierce quotation comes to mind: “Comedians say funny things. Comedic actors say things funny.”
The party of fiscal responsibility!
The fiscal responsibility party!
James Frederick Ryan from Minnesota!
(This is the kind of shit that crowds my mind and presumably stops me from being a more productive, decent member of society.)
Wait—Kyle Orton?

Every single professional journalist who uses the phrases “Department of War” or “Secretary of War” without scare quotes should be lined up on a public viewing stage and bopped on the head with a giant inflatable hammer that says DUMB DUMB on the handle and makes fart sounds.
My two favorite parts:

People think this is weird but it really isn't. And it isn't at all unusual that they subpoenaed her in a pedophile investigation. Millions of MAGA cultists still believe she is the ringleader of a child sex trafficking ring. Millions. And the GOP has been exploiting this lunacy for years.
"Oh, I didn't want *this* much racism & xenophobia! I just wanted a little bit, the fun kind! I just wanted to say 'retard', I didn't want a eugenicist in charge of health policy!"
