I used to think clowns were funny. Not any more.
My unquestioned choice for
The Right-Cheek Ass Clown for March, 2025

is the most un-funny clown in recent memory,
Secretary of State
Marco Rubio
Former Florida Senator Marco Rubio was considered one of the few relatively qualified cabinet picks nominated by Der Furor, having a background that included service as the Senior Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and Vice Chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. He was confirmed by a vote of 99-0 by senators convinced that he could be as competent a Secretary of State as Der Furor was likely to accept.
Unfortunately, it did not take long for Mr Rubio to learn the fine art of ignoring reality and kissing Der Furor's backside.
During the shameful ambush of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zenenskyy one week ago today, the Secretary of State of the United States of America slumped in his seat like an embarrassed schoolchild sent to the principal's office while the PINO* and "Vice President" JD Vance debased the honor of their offices and of the nation on live television. Not satisfied with sitting like a potted plant while his bosses ganged up on an actual leader, Mr Rubio later joined the expected sycophantic chorus when he took to Twitter to post the following:
"Thank you @POTUS for standing up for America in a way that no President has ever had the courage to do before. Thank you for putting America First. America is with you!"
Not satisfied with that limbo under the bar of disgrace, Mr Rubio later told an ABC News interviewer that
"We'll be ready to reengage when [the Ukrainians] are ready to make peace."
As if the Ukrainians, who have been fighting for their lives against three years of savage and unprovoked Russian aggression should be grateful to accept a peace little better than an abject surrender to an aggressor after being stabbed in the back by a turncoat ally.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Readers, our unquestioned Right-Cheek Ass Clown for March, 2025, is Secretary of State Marco Rubio - yet another Republican who has squandered the remaining shreds of his dignity and honor in the service of the Orange Airhorn.
We, and the world, deserve better.
Have a good day, and come back tomorrow for Cartoon Saturday. More thoughts then.

* This is a new acronym I ran across this week - "President in Name Only" - useful in differentiating Der Furor from Acting President Elon Musk.

To have an unquestioned choice in the midst of so many candidates speaks so poorly of Sec Rubio that one has to wonder what the world sees in the US's top diplomat.
"Shameful ambush" to say the least.
You had me at Marco. People around him must see that he is deranged. Why don't they do something? The 25th Amendment comes to mind
You missed using the 25th on joe.
John - you got THAT right.
Mike - true. It was a real nadir of our diplomatic history.
Allen - true, but I don't think Anonymous agrees with you.
Anonymous - you mean the president who actually did things for real people and the world? That one?
