Georgia
I watched the debates last night. Bless Kelly Loeffler’s stone cold heart – she only had 6 answers memorized and if the question didn’t ask an answer she had memorized, it got one of the six she had filed in her stone cold brain.
I don’t mean to be tacky about her personal appearance except for the fact that I don’t believe it’s God’s fault. You gotta work to achieve that look. The robotic smile between questions totally creeped me out. If she had been in my home doing that, I’d gently guide her to the front door, show her the porch, then slam the door and do the sign of the cross. I do not know who does St. Peter’s job in hell, but I bet they look like Kelly Loeffler.
Then David Perdue doesn’t even show up to debate. The man lies so much that he has to get his wife to call the dogs. Perdue uses his senate seat for boost his insider trading. And just to be gender fair about this, he ain’t no Rock Hudson himself. And the fact that he’s a sneaky little sumbitch also gives me the willies.
Glen says we are almost full staffed-up and will get our specific assignments soon. I am so glad we all decided to do this.
I watched exactly 2 seconds of the Georgia debate but they were the 2 most interesting seconds, because I heard Loeffler say: ‘I don’t have a racist bone in my body.’
That’s what happens when you let colored people vote — it makes politicians lie.
I lived in Georgia 1954-63 and you never heard politicians back then say they didn’t have racist bones.
In those days, there were so-called liberal governors like Arnall or Vandiver, so-called because, unlike in Alabama or South Carolina, respectable candidates didn’t bray racist crap. But they were racist just the same, as Lester Maddox proved when he came out and said it in public.
Still, you cannot say nothing has changed.
1Headline: Jon Ossoff debates empty podium as GOP senator ‘pleads the fifth’ amid scrutiny over stock trades
One for flinching…
2Edit: Ossoff, who narrowly lost a Senate runoff to Republican Karen Handel in 2017, suggested Sunday that Perdue declined to participate because he “doesn’t feel that he can handle himself in debate, or perhaps is concerned that he may incriminate himself in debate.”
Harry @1: I watched only a few seconds myself.
It was the part where Loeffler accused Abrams and Warnock of “suppressing the vote.”
Calling that unmitigated gall just doesn’t seem sufficient. But Juanita is in rare form today so maybe she can come up with some way to describe it.
Anyway, I shut it off thar.
3I guess they could have done the Clint Eastwood empty chair gambit for Perdue.
4I’ve only seen excepts today, and Miss JJ – you are right. Different questions did elicit stock, similar answers. Rich AND clueless!
5Alan, you made me laugh out loud when you said she accused Abrams and Warnock of suppressing the vote. That is truly the funniest thing I’ve read all day.
Incidentally, Rock the Vote, a fabulous musical fund raiser from last week (Stacey Abrams, that notorious vote suppressor’s organization, Fair Fight put it together) will be on Fair Fight’s Facebook page tonight at 9 p.m E.T. I watched it last week, and it is wonderful. Go watch it and send them some love ($$) too.
6Um, that was only a half of a debate. And what the hell is Senator P. trying to hide?
7@maggie – Ossoff’s best line – “Last time a debated an empty suit. This time I’m debating an empty podium.”
8Wall Street Barbie.
9I saw photos that showed that Loeffler was wired. All that hair was unable to completely cover it up. Evidently whoever was feeding her answers only had a few on hand? And she kept calling Rev. Warnock a radical liberal or some ridiculous fearmongering thing the GOP puts out when they have nothing else.
