May 21, 2021: Fun with "Family Values" Republicans

 

5/21/21: Your humble blogger is well aware that our side of the political divide produces its share of imbeciles, crooks, and miscreants. But it’s always more fun to make fun of the pious, “family-value” Republicans. Case in point: Wyoming state Sen. Anthony Bouchard.

Bouchard has high hopes of knocking off Rep. Liz Cheney in a primary, and taking her seat in Congress, after she committed the unpardonable sin of calling Donald J. Trump what he is: A menace to the U.S. Constitution.

Cheney, left, Bouchard, right.

 

Bouchard’s chances took a hit today when he admitted that when he was a lusty 18-year-old he got a 14-year-old girl pregnant. Bouchard compared it to Romeo and Juliet. Law enforcement authorities might compare it to statutory rape, since the age of consent in Wyoming at the time of impregnation was definitely not fourteen. 

As an added bonus, Bouchard claimed he was a victim of “the establishment swamp,” when you might have thought the girl was the victim. In order to head off a trip to jail, Bouchard married the young woman, went through “kind of a bitter divorce,” and says his ex-wife committed suicide at age 20. 

At least Bouchard didn’t ask the girl to get an abortion, and a son was born, who the candidate admits is now almost his “estranged son” because he’s made some “wrong choices” in life. 

But: VOTE BOUCHARD 2022! 

 

FUN FACT: Since January 20, Rejected-President Trump has been charging the Secret Service every night for rooms at Mar-a-Lago, so agents can sleep in comfy beds at the resort and keep him safe. 

The tab, so far, is just over $40,000.
