A short diary, just because SOMEONE must ask these questions. Is it irresponsible to ask them? It’s Irresponsible NOT to!
From “Democratic Undergrond”
The Trump campaign did not offer further clarification about the former president’s penchant for mentioning Lecter or volunteer his personal positions on fava beans and chianti.
Instead, Steven Cheung replied in a statement: “President Trump is an inspiring and gifted storyteller and referencing pop culture is one of many reasons why he can successfully connect with the audience and voters. Whereas, [Vice President Kamala Harris] is as relatable as a worn-out couch.”
So….the Republicans WANT to talk about couches! Especially worn-out ones! The questions that all responsible journalists must now ask, following the protocols of mainstream media in pursuing stories like Whitewater and the Obama birth certificate “controversy,” the Trump/Vance ticket are:
- Where is this couch?
- How did it get worn out?
- Was J.D. Vance involved in this damage due to overuse?
- Is there, as is rumored, romantic correspondence between candidate Vance and this couch? Why are these letters being withheld from the press and public?
- Is there, indeed, footage of J.D. Vance affirming that the real American family is “a man, a woman, two cute children, and a really nice Chesterfield sofa — you know, the kind with deep button tufting, rolled arms, and...ummmmm….rich leather upholstery”?
- Can DNA reliably be gathered from those spots on the couch that seem especially worn out? How soon can this evidence be produced and analyzed?
- How long will it be before other worn-out couches come forward to tell their stories?
I was willing to put this provocative, if unproven conjecture aside, but the Republicans put it back into play. We deserve answers to these questions. Candidate Vance must, as soon as possible, hold a press conference, hopefully with this worn-out couch (provided by Mr. Cheung) to answer any and all questions about his role in this, umm, “affair.”
