I understand that Tom Cotton is from Arkansas and well, you know, they have different habits and mores than other people do.  I get that, and most of the time I can excuse him when he says something just whacky.

He was on Fox News insisting that this little Covid in high places the Republicans all gave each other is gonna be over by the time they vote for a new Supreme Court later this month.

But, he carefully explains, if it’s not …

“But if that’s not the case, Maria, there is a long and venerable tradition of ill or medically infirmed senators being wheeled in to cast critical votes on the Senate floor.”

Wheeled in?  I can see where that would work for a broken leg or even someone after surgery.  But, I have no idea how an intubated person would vote. Or, someone who is contagious with something awful.

If I was a Republican and thank you, Sweet Jesus, I’m not, but if I were I’d be a little hesitant to screw with Ruth Bader Ginsberg again.  Apparently, she’s got some turbo charged bitch dust.

Thanks to SGray for the heads up.
