by now, the whole world knows that Alabama Senator Katie Britt’s disastrous State of the Union response was built on a lie.

Britt spun a horrific tale of a 12-year-old girl who was trafficked and raped by drug cartels, and blamed it on the policies of the Biden Administration. at its center is a true story — except for the part where the events took place in Mexico, almost 20 years ago, while George W. Bush was president.

after days of issuing non-denial denials, Katie Britt’s spokeperson now admits she lied. it was a dumb unforced error that made an ineptly-delivered clownshoes catastrophe of a speech only worse.

so why did the Republican Brain Trust — now there are three words that absolutely do not fucking belong together — pick an unproven rookie like Britt to give an important speech?

Great rant by Tiedrich, but as usual I can't make it fit into 4 paragraphs. Please click on the link and read the rest on Tiedrich's blog. Your reward is a clip of SNL's cold open from last night, featuring Scarlett Johansson doing a hilarious and spot-on impression of Katie Britt.

Love it!

1. What 'brain trust'? The GOP is a joke. And they continue to prove it.

3. Tuberville thinks Britt did well, considering she's a mom and a housewife...

TV bobblehead: “how do you think she did?”
Tuberville: “well, considering the circumstances, I think, I thought she did very well. and you know, she’s a mom. she’s a housewife.

Obviously, these are disabilities in Tuberville's (alleged) mind.

4. Regardless of the time. Why would a "border policy" be blamed for this?
