The Right-Cheek Ass Clown for October, 2020

I can't help myself. The obvious awardee to be

The Right-Cheek Ass Clown for October, 2020

is

Vice President Mike Pence

If you saw the "debate" on Wednesday evening between Mr Pence and Senator Kamala Harris, you saw Vice President Mike Pence for what he is: a shameless toady, flagrantly ignoring the rules to which he had agreed and parroting the same tired GOP attack lines, which he delivered with a microscopically thin veneer of gentility to distinguish himself from the bellowing and bullying attitude of Der Furor ... who he managed to oleaginously praise at every opportunity.

Mr Pence has failed at his most important task, as demonstrated by the deaths of almost 213,000 Americans on his watch as the chief of the administration's "Coronavirus Task Force." He has distinguished himself only by his embarrassingly servile pandering to his boss, to whom he casts adoring gazes as he sagely nods and agrees with the most outrageous and deranged pronouncements. He has shown himself to be a fragile shell of a man, selling whatever shreds of his honor and decency might still remain, deeply buried, in the service of a man unworthy to hold the least of elective offices.

I would write a longer citation, but I'm just too angry. Ladies and gentlemen, Dear Readers, the Right-Cheek Ass Clown for October, 2020, is Vice President Mike Pence.

May he join his beloved emperor on the ash heap of history on November 3rd.

Have a good day, and come back tomorrow for Cartoon Saturday. After a week like this, you know you need it.

More, happier, thoughts then.

Note: this is Mr Pence's fourth award. The others were: the Right Cheek in June, 2017 (shared with EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt); the Right Cheek in January, 2019; and the Left Cheek in February, 2020.
