“This booze-and-Botox besotted old bag can’t manage her dentures, much less a pandemic.“

That’s some clever word smithing right there.

James Woods is a poet.

Alliteration is a poetic technique in which the initial consonant sounds of words are repeated in close succession. To put it more simply: alliteration is when the beginning sounds of words repeat. It is important to note that alliteration is about the sounds of words, not the letters; therefore, the letter "k" and "c" can be used alliteratively (as in kitchen and cookie)

“...much less a pandemic.““

Sentiment is directionally accurate.

Should have been, “... what’s more, a pandemic” not “much less a pandemic.”

Kind of like, “I could care less...”
