The publication of the astonishing new book Peril, by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa, which details the relentless machinations of the GOP and other enablers of Der Furor to overturn the results of the 2020 election, plumbs the depths of despicable ass clownery to which desperate political losers will sink, and opens up a new roster of potential ass clown awardees. After some thought, and with due consideration of the degradation of the legal profession represented by those who would destroy our government to stroke the ego of a narcissistic sociopath, I have decided to present the award for
The Left-Cheek Ass Clown for September, 2021
to
John Eastman
John Eastman, a former tenured professor of law* and former dean at the Chapman University School of Law, gained well-earned notoriety this past week when a six-page memo he drafted for the former president was exposed in Woodward and Costa's new book.
The memo, breathtaking in its cynical audacity and shameless trampling of the Constitution, explains how former Vice President Pence could ignore the electoral votes of certain states, allowing the election to be cast into the House of Representatives, where a GOP majority (given one vote per state) would throw out the Biden victory and give the presidency to Der Furor. You can read his memo in its nauseatingly vile entirety here.
If there were any doubt about the moral bankruptcy of Der Furor and his enablers in and out of government, this grotesquely un-American plan should remove the blinders from the eyes of all but the most unsalvageable MAGA crazies.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Readers, John Eastman is named as the Left-Cheek Ass Clown of the Month for September, 2021, and awarded a rating of 750,000 on the Gohmert Stupidity Scale. The stain he leaves on the legal profession will remain for a long, long time.
Have a good day and come back tomorrow for Cartoon Saturday. More thoughts then.

If anything this dipwad has pointed out all the flaws in the voting system. This document should be used to prove the electorial college need to be gone. Time for a popular vote.

He hit the nail on the head there. 81 million people could have become disenfranchised.
Excellent choice! He certainly rose to the top of the Ass Clown cesspool. I don't remember precisely, didn't he make a comment that the memo is being taken out of context?
