The Right-Cheek Ass Clown for May, 2018

How time flies! It's been two weeks since we last dishonored an Ass Clown awardee, and so now it's time to troll the depths of the social and political cesspool and dredge up the mighty chunk that represents

The Right-Cheek Ass Clown for May, 2018

and the award goes to ...

Michael Cohen

Michael Cohen, the long-time personal lawyer and "fixer" for Donald Trump, found himself in self-heated hot water this past week when it was revealed that he had "shopped himself around" as the go-to person for understanding Mr Trump, advertising access to Trump for those with deep enough pockets. According to multiple reports, Cohen aggressively pitched himself to potential clients as a representative with unmatched access to Trump, thereby netting hundreds of thousands of dollars from powerful individuals and corporations located both in the United States and overseas.

Donald Trump came to office pledging to "drain the swamp" that he saw in Washington, but instead he brought in his own swamp creatures, one of which is Michael Cohen - a man who is the stereotype of the oily, deal-making lawyer who trades on his political connections.

The selection of Mr Cohen as the Right-Cheek Ass Clown for May was a difficult choice, as he was up against very tough competition from two other lawyers: previous Ass Clown Awardee Rudy Giuliani and celebrity attorney Michael Avenatti ... but but I'm sure both of those men will earn their own awards before long.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Readers, the Right-Cheek Ass Clown for May is Michael Cohen - the poster child for seamily aggressive and corrupt lawyers.

Have a good day. More thoughts tomorrow, when Cartoon Saturday returns.
