Representative Nancy Mace is nothing if not a clown.
She’s dumb and mean but good at fifth-grade put-downs.
To ensure her constituent immunity
She held a town hall in a gated community.
Can it really be called a “town hall” without the town?
Marco Rubio’s presidential chances were infinitesimal,
And he needed high-heel boots to make him look tall.
Now that his constituents
Are getting loud and conspicuous,
Little Senator Marco is too tiny to hold town halls.
In 2012 the Republican party took quite a beating,
And ever since from their ranks voters are retreating.
While they used to go off half-cocked,
These days they’re so shell-shocked,
That GOP lawmakers won’t even hold a town hall meeting.
“This is what democracy looks like,” GOP Rep. James Sensenbrenner’s constituents shouted as he scurried away after abruptly adjourning a town hall meeting in his Wisconsin district in order to stifle dissent.
Sensenbrenner shut down the meeting after the crowd reacted derisively to GOP State Sen. Leah Vukmir’s false claim that Gov. Scott Walker’s “budget” bill would not end collective bargaining for state employee unions.
This is not the first time Sensenbrenner has adjourned a meeting to shut off debate. In June 2005, when Sensenbrenner chaired the House Judiciary Committee, he gaveled a hearing on the PATRIOT ACT to a close because he did not like Democratic criticism of the bill.
Sensenbrenner is perhaps best known for serving on the House prosecution team during the Clinton impeachment.
In the diplomatic ranks, trained professionals toil,
To keep the peace and tamp down foreign turmoil.
But for Greek ambassador,
Trump picked an artful dodger —
The grifting, drunken blackmailer Kimberly Guilfoyle.
