WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)Senator Susan Collins said that she is a little bit sad to see Senator Joe Manchin replace her as the nations most annoying senator.
For years, Ive been the most aggravating person in this legislative chamber, and Ive enjoyed every minute of it, she said. Still, if an obscure senator from Maine cant wield outsized power anymore, its only fitting that the baton be passed to an obscure senator from West Virginia.
Asked to remember a particularly gratifying moment from her long reign of irritation, Collins said, It would have to be when I kept everyone guessing about how Id vote on Kavanaugh. Those were good times.
In an official response to her remarks, Manchin said, Ive been a big fan of Susan Collinss work as a vexing time-waster for as long as I can remember. In terms of being infuriating, she has set the bar very, very high for me.
