Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy is inarguably the most witty person in the U.S. Senate. With a folksy quip or quotation always at the ready, Kennedy can effortlessly dismantle an opponent’s argument with his deadpan delivery while keeping the whole room in stitches. And the reason why his delivery hits so well is that he makes sense — the common kind, which has become almost extinct in these woke times. For example, discussing some of his Democratic colleagues who support transgender athletes in women’s sports on Fox News’ “The Story,” Kennedy once said, “One of my Democratic colleague’s witnesses testified that there are three biological sexes and an infinite number of genders. I’ve heard better answers on the dating game.” In one of his 2022 campaign ads, Kennedy asked “someone” to “please tell the commander-in-chief that neither my car nor the greatest economy in all of human history runs on fairy dust and unicorn urine.” “What is carbon dioxide?” Kennedy asked Schumacher with a straight face.. “I went to high school, but that’s uh … carbon dioxide is a gas,” Schumacher said, looking like he just realized that he was going to be asked questions and not simply taken at his word. “I’m not a professional to talk about carbon dioxide,” he admitted. “You want us to abolish it, right?” Kennedy asked. “Carbon dioxide is a gas that exists in our atmosphere,” Schumacher said finally, after some embarrassing back-and-forth. “Is it the major part of our atmosphere?” Kennedy asked. “It’s a huge part of our atmosphere,” Schumacher responded. “It’s actually a very small part of the atmosphere,” Kennedy quickly shot back. “Well… ok… but… uh…” the athlete responded, “I don’t know … what are you asking, specifically,,

May whoever put this poor out of his depth kid in this position receive everything he deserves.
I’ve yet to hear the subject of photosyntesis brought up in any of these discussions.

I’ve done some embarrassing things in my younger days, but I gotta feel some sympathy for the kid. He is in WAAAY over his head.
He is going to look at this and cringe at the memory.
He does much better in the Snow Bunny bar.
Kennedy is wasted in Congress, he needs a talk show. He could actually be “the next Rush”.
Ive frequently observed on these pages that I’m thankful that, while our enemies are ruthless and utterly lacking in integrity, we’re blessed that, as a group, they’re also f’in imbeciles. I’m not talking about this poor young simpleton, I’m talking about the Senate staffers who have yet to realize that a witness, whether it be a judicial nominee or anyone else, better be a subject matter expert or the good Senator is going to have them for lunch and spit out the bones
Hilarious! Another site described the event as “A Mauling”.
You would think by now, the Dems should be aware of Kennedy’s taskmaster reputation and warn all applicants to prepare, study up the night before.
Stay in your Ski Lane, Son!
“He could actually be ‘the next Rush’”.
That’s a good idea. He’s got the Trey Gowdy sctick going pretty well, but he isn’t stellar in his voting. He would be better as an entertainer.
Like Rush. He was a wonderful entertainer. The best. A star. But he died without leaving something huge to impact Conservatism for the long term. (The exception to that would be the crop of Rush Babies.) He didn’t even mentor one or two broadcasters to pick up his show to carry it on.
The guy is 23 years old!
But even if he was a hundred years old,what he is describing is WEATHER! Not climate change!
He’s a hopeless pawn in a big game he thinks he understands.
“I’ve heard better answers on the dating game” about his Democratic colleagues who support transgender athletes in women’s sports, Sen Kennedy once said.
“One of my Democratic colleague’s witnesses testified that there are three biological sexes and an infinite number of genders.
Scene in one of my favorite movies Stuart Saves His Family (written by and starring Al Franken).
Stuart declines a beer from one of the menacing thugs: “I just had a soda and I’m all fizzy inside.”
Thug: “Oh, so you think you’re too good to have a beer with your brother Donny and us, huh?”
Donny, coming up to his face: “You even touch my brother and I’ll hit you so hard your nearest relatives will feel the pain.”
GUS is an empty headed , idoctrinated socialist, amke him angry and give him a gun, he would be exacty equivalent to “Hitler Youth.”
The late U.S. senator was known for his wit – and his Foghorn Leghorn voice. When he saw compromising photos of Sen. Ted Kennedy with women on his yacht, Heflin reportedly joked "I see Sen. Kennedy has changed his position on offshore drilling."
Mr. Hand....
Yeah, it reminds me of when I was his age and had my first corporate prospect meeting as a sales rep. One of the execs ate me alive! My most embarrassing moments at that age were because I didn't prepare. I hope he learns from it, quickly.
I think Chuck Schumer’s answers wouldn’t be notably better.
My goodness...
whew...
