Humor is hard to find these days in Washington. Don Surber, a former journalist who writes at his own blog and at Substack (https:\/\/donsurber.substack.com<\/a>\/) seems to have a knack for finding it. On January 29, I posted an article<\/a> about his post about Republican Senator John Kennedy’s wit and wisdom. Well, his latest article compares many of the leading figures in Washington politics to Warner Brothers cartoon characters.<\/p>\n The post quotes an article from the New Orleans Times-Picayune.<\/p>\n Don Surber writess:<\/p>\n I really enjoyed writing last Saturday\u2019s column, \u201cThe Wit and Wisdom of John Kennedy, R-La.<\/a>\u201d Readers did too. One hipped me to the Times-Picayune\u2019s \u201cWho said it: Sen. John Kennedy or Foghorn Leghorn?<\/a>\u201d quiz.<\/strong><\/p>\n Alas, the quiz disappeared down the Internet memory hole, but Boing Boing saved four who-said-it questions<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n Kennedy said the first three about (in order) Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell and President Trump. The last one was all Foghorn. Yep, the senator is the rooster.<\/strong><\/p>\n That got me to thinking. Who are some of the other Looney Tunes cartoon characters in that Loony Bin we call Washington?<\/strong><\/p>\n Adam Schiff\u2019s doppelganger is Marvin the Martian, the weirdo who wanted to blow up Earth to get a better view of Venus. Schiff is the weirdo who wants to blow up Trump to give Red China a better hold on America.<\/strong><\/p>\n Please follow the link above to read the entire article. At this point, the best thing to do with Washington is laugh at it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Humor is hard to find these days in Washington.
