Kevin McCarthy Does Dramatic Reading of Green Eggs and Ham for No Apparent Reason: Net Rolls Over Laughing

By

During a week in which people continued to die of COVID (over 520,000), with the Biden administration fighting back by approving a third vaccine and raising vaccination levels to two million a day, double the promised rate, and during a week in which the much needed $1.9 trillion COVID stimulus package stalled out in Congress, the Republicans spent the week freaking the fck out about a toy potato and whether the Democrats will burn every Dr. Seuss book.

The Right-Wing media forgot to mention a very important detail. The decisions made about the damned potato and Dr. Seuss were not made by Democrats or the government. And, we cannot possibly emphasize this enough, the fact that the government had no role in either decision is very important. Because it means these were actions freely taken by businesses exercising their rights in a free country.

None of it mattered to the Right who preferred to talk about a potato with glasses and books for four-year-olds over COVID vaccinations and a massive stimulus bill. To that end, Kevin McCarthy believed it would be a good use of his time to film himself reading Green Eggs and Ham and put it on the internet. It didn’t matter that Green Eggs and Ham wasn’t one of the books pulled. Nor did it matter that Kevin McCarthy voted “No” on a bill that would have lifted half of the kids in poverty, out of poverty, so they could read more books.

None of that mattered.

Kevin McCarthy should have read one of the banned books about “slant eyes.” Or if McCarthy had to read a book that will still be published until the end of time, he should have read “All the Places You’ll Go. It is a better book. Additionally, Ted Cruz read Green Eggs and Ham during one of the most notorious fillibusters ever. McCarthy doesn’t want to be like Cruz. Last, “All the Places You’ll Go” may have a good underlying message that the MAGAs might want to consider.

Nevertheless:

Good for you! We love Green Eggs and Ham, but we like “All the Places You’ll Go” much better. Our friends on the net had a fantastic time joining in the fun:

Unbelievable.

Peace, y’all
