Will Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) keep confirming judges in this time of pandemic?
“We will go back to judges,” he said in an interview. “My motto for the rest of the year is leave no vacancy behind.”
The whole landscape was barren, and the fires burned everywhere. And in the smoldering remains of the Senate, Mitch McConnell sat on a throne of skulls making preparations to confirm his 8,999th judge.
Mitch McConnell would leave no vacancy behind.
The people were long gone. The streets were empty, and some old scraps of burned newspaper tossed on the hot, sulfurous wind. And Mitch McConnell was still confirming judges.
The sky was a dark, angry red. The sun was not visible and had not been visible for a long time. There were no longer any rhinoceroses whatsoever. There were exactly three birds. The halls of Congress were empty except for John Quincy Adams’s ghost and one hoarse buzzard perched on a cracked torso in Statuary Hall. And Mitch McConnell was still confirming judges.
“Just one more,” he muttered. His voice echoed in the rows of bones all around him. He had been assiduously confirming judges for a very long time, although night and day were now the same and were difficult to measure. Clocks had ceased to exist. “Just one more lifetime appointment.”
Someone crawled toward him through the dust on hands and knees. “Why?” creaked forth from his chapped lips. “Mitch, why?” It might have been Chuck Grassley. No one could say. There was no one there to say.
“Is there some curse you are trying to break? Is there some reason?” the voice asked.

He enjoys the lamentations of their women.
Swweeeet!
For this reason alone he needs to be reelected! The Courts are the key to everything for the next generation.
Good job!
Amazing.
Four years later, and the Washington Post is still sore about losing the election in 2016.
LOL! McConnel certainly has been redeeming himself.
Pro-abort judges are sitting on entire mountain ranges of skulls.
I guess the crushed skulls of aborted babies doesn’t matter to these creeps!!
Well Trump’s friend who runs the National Enquirer did manage to obtain Jeff Bezos’s embarrasing dickpix, legally
so of course Bezos is still ticked off
Ah, to see the Washington Post driven before you and hear the lamentation of its columnists.
Cocaine Mitch for the win!!!
Mitch knows what the “pandemic” is really about, and he’s keeping his eye on what needs to be done to restore this nation.
We have a winner!
WaPo’s misery puts a smile on my face.
“My motto for the rest of the year is leave no vacancy behind.”
This brought a smile to my face. Good for Mitch (and for us).
