"Putin's actually very cute." . . . Please come CAPTION Senator John Kennedy (R-LA)!!!

[skip fox]

Senator John (Doctor of Deception) Kennedy is saying; "I resent that, Todd. . . . I'm no more echoing Putin's Ukrainian propaganda than I am calling for separating children from their parents at the border. . . . I mean, if the KGB is right, it would be foolish to ignore them, don't you think? . . . And I think they're right as spring rain in this case. . . . After all, when have they ever steered us wrong? . . . (And by the way, some of those migrant children are harden criminals.)"

Above CAPTION based on this embarrassment (Louisiana is this CAPTIONer's home state) and his appearance on Meet the Press 12.1.19 as linked at Crooks and Liars:

1. J.K. continues:

"Ukrainian involvement in the 2016 election for Hillary and against Trump was thoroughly covered in The Financial Times and Politico in special issues only given to a few people."

[Botany]

2. Kennedy knows the truth and he is just playing the simple good old boy for political reasons

He went to Vanderbilt, University of Virginia, and Oxford.

And yes he is repeating Russian talking points in order to "muddy the waters."

[Johonny]

3. All I'm saying is, how do we know the sky is blue. I mean, sure, okay, all our agencies say blue

But we've got a lot of people out there saying not blue. We have to give the not blue people a fair hearing in Congress. We need to see the bigger picture. Why just the other day I heard the president say he was deeply committed to understanding this issue. We'll get to the bottom of it. If blue is correct. I'll be the first to say it. I will. But we shouldn't dump to deep state conclusions. We should open our minds to alternative narratives on the color of the sky. That's just good science. It is.

5. You need an occasional folksy touch with this clown (thinks he's Mark Twain or Uncle Remus).

something saturated with bayou bigotry or stupidity, something with "That's like an A-rab without his prayer rug" or "That's like a meth lab without any clients," or "What would a woman do all day long if she didn't have hair or nails, you ever wonder?"

[Johonny]

6. I enjoy his ability to be uncertain one day, certain the next, uncertain the next day

Almost as if he cares nothing for the truth and everything for his preceived audience... his whole act feels canned.

[Mersky]

4. Sen. kennedy (R-LA) responds, "I don't carry water for putin's propaganda."

todd: Okay, Senator. What's that in the bag you have labeled, Uralasbest?

kennedy: Lunch.
