Not the Bee ^ | 7/17/2026 | Joel Abbot

[Tell It Right]

This is "Ashley."

Ashley thinks he can do a better job than the Nazi-tattoo guy at representing Maine in the United States Senate.

MODERATOR: "What qualifications do you have to serve in the U.S. Senate?"
Maine Democrat Ashley Webb: "I'm a songwriter and I write my own books."

MODERATOR: David Costello said he's for Medicare for All. Is everybody?
KLEBEN: Yes.
DICKERSON: It's incredible.
WEBB: I'm actually on Medicare.
MODERATOR: Oh...ok.

WHAT IS THAT? WTF IS THAT?

When “Medicare for all” is discussed, no one ever actually defines Medicare. All anyone gets for “free” is Part A. What about Part B? Part D? Supplements?

[Steven Scharf]

Actually I assume he is MaineCare, ie. medicaid as he is under 65, so he and the moderator don’t even know the differnce.

Ashley is still a dude.

I bet in a cage match Webb could take all three of his opponents at the same time.

This is "Ashley."

Most of the people I've met with that name were in fact boys/men...from the pictures I can definitely see what they were getting at, but the implication that Ashley is exclusively a girls' name is just not correct.

I also looked it up and it wasn't that long ago it was almost exclusively a male name - with girls/women with the name spelling it "Ashleigh" instead.

It is a maine-iac! 😵

[Dr. Sivana]

Correct. For one, there is Ashley Wilkes, from "Gone with the Wind" (played by a man with a name that has since become large female, Leslie Howard).

“””WHAT IS THAT? WTF IS THAT?””””””””””

She’s a dude, Jim.

[Dr. Sivana]

The only Democrats who wear truly feminine clothing are men.

[No name given]

That’s a man, baby!

He has a brother Peggy who answers calls for Discover.

[No name given]

That looks like Chris Farley in drag.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Saw this guy on FNC. What a piece of work. ROTFL!

[Mathews]

Nuke it from orbit!!!

[Dr. Sivana]

He actually used an AI image of a beautiful woman to represent himself in his memoir.

Ashley is a singer/songwriter: I think his stage name is Beatloaf. His next song is “I Would Do Anything For A Vote”
