U.S. Sen. David Alfred Perdue mocked a fellow lawmaker – and candidate for vice president – over her name. Not her ideas or legislation. Her name.
“Ka-ma-la, Ka-ma-la, Kamala-mala-mala, I don’t know, whatever,” Perdue, a Georgia Republican, said Friday while warming up a crowd for Donald Trump.
Surely, Day-vid, Day-vid, Day-veed, your reference to Sen. Kamala Harris was more than simple mispronunciation, as your spokesman implausibly asserted later.
Dave, Davy, Dah-dah-dah-dah. Your spokesman said you were countering the “radical socialist” agenda of Harris and presidential candidate Joe Biden.
What a relief, Dah-dah-dah-veed. ’Tis swell that you and your favored candidate counter disagreeable ideas with playground taunts – a tactic you probably learned in the Senate, that greatest of all deliberative legislative bodies.
No, Daaaay-vee-vee-vee?!
Ohhhhh. At Trump University. Where you majored in name-calling and minored in middle-school bullying. Summa cum laude? Well done, Prrrr-doo.
In our circus politics – sprung from the worst of human nature, goosed by our toddler-in-chief, enabled by toddler wannabees and amplified in social media – ideas are so old-fashioned.
You’re a role model for our times. Whoopee, Day-vee Al-fee Pee-doo.
