Friday Fun: Courtesy of “The Nunes–Jordan Comedy Team”

[Editor’s Note: At least it’s still Friday.  The Impeachment Hearings are just to riveting for me to resist, but take a chunk of time.  I think Speaker Pelosi timed this extremely well, and Chairman Schiff is doing a stellar job.]

Apparently the Rethuglicans were worried that Devin Nunes, ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee holding this week’s critical Impeachment Hearings, was not up to the task of making the GOP look like babbling idiots – so they moved Gym Jordan over as reinforcement. Both Devin and Gym did a stellar job in making republicans look like fools.

My worst fears were confirmed when I turned on the TV for the opening statements, and this greeted my eyes:

Sure enough, Nunes continued to build his ongoing lawsuit against an imaginary cow all day long

At first I thought they must have had some beginner doing the Closed Caption when Nunes spoke because it was so rambling.  But later, after reading viewers’ comments, I realized the captioning was perfect. It captured his udderly (that’s my only bovine pun for the day) bizarre babbling.

 

One Tweet identified an anatomic concern for Nunes’ ability to breathe – but maybe it interfered with his speech, too.

 

To be fair, comparing Chairman Schiff’s legal skills against Nunes isn’t really a fair fight.

 

But if Nunes was a lightweight as the designated “GOP Dolt”, Gym Jordan was the clear heavyweight champ. I’ve been wrestling with how to approach Jordan’s performance, so don’t pin me down to covering all of the lowlights – but it was clear he was willing to go to the mat for Trump with his disingenuous dissembling.

(Now I don’t expect anyone to shower me with any accolades, so I’ll let each of you grapple with whether I hit your favorite Jordan lowlights. If not, please share them in the Comments. [Please Note: I didn’t say anything about limiting wrestling puns.])

The first thing that Jordan displayed was his highly excitable temperament – especially when compared to the calm, fair and even-handed approach of Schiff. Apparently it was obvious to everyone.

 

 

 

But I was a bit concerned when Chairman Schiff, yet again, had to ask Jordan …

 

I envisioned that, given Jordan’s highly excitable nature and athletic background, he might snap and then we’d see this next …

And it was clear that it wasn’t all that appealing to Ambassador Taylor or Mr. Kent. But being true diplomats, they handled it extremely well. But if there were Thought Balloons above their heads, you know it’d be something like this:

 

And there were numerous Tweets addressing Jordan’s hypocrisy concerning his never reporting any of the molestations of his wrestlers he was mad aware of while an assistant coach at Ohio State.

 

 

In fact I personally was hoping someone would park Jordan’s “Mobile Clinic” van in front of the Capitol during the hearings

Maybe next week …

    omg. Love this. 
    How awesome. I’ve been reading comments from some very talented folks about Devin for some time now,
    the comments are so hilarious, and so spot on! I enjoy his ‘mom’s’ comments too, like this one: 
    “I had a feeling this was going to happen. That’s why I sent an extra pack of tissue in Devin’s briefcase today. #MomAlwaysKnows” 
    The same goes for the Jordan pictures. Hilarious!! 

    What a great way to end the day, and to start the weekend. 
    Thanks, Nameless for posting, I’m still laughing. 😉

    I don’t knoow whether to be glad or sad that you decided not to milk the bovine puns.  The wrestling ones – well, not your fault that Gym Jordan remonds me of the old saying, “I wouldn’t wear that to a skunk rassle.”  (It was either Ann Landers or Abigail Van Buren or both – hard to keep them straight – they were literally twins.)

    As funny as all of this is, it’s kind of scary that the Republicans are serious about it.  Or at least, as serious as their brains can manage to be.  But then, they have no humor at all, so I guess that’s the way it is.

    Thank goodness you have such a wonderful sense of humour and you let all here share in that, Nameless. Now at least we can have a big belly-laugh about Nunes and Jordan where otherwise we would be in tears about the idiocy of it all.

    Former GOP Chairman Michael Steele is all over Twitter commenting on how stupid republicans are acting in their support of trump. Most notable being his response to trump’s tweet trashing the ambassador while she was testifying. Can’t help but wonder where in the Hell was Steele when his GOP members talked trash about President Obama. Steele helped create the situation and climate that gave trump the republican party.
    One of my few hopes is that the republicans will pay for this fascism at some point with their party dying like the Whig Party back before the Civil War.

    LOL, Nameless.  Jordan’s Perv-O-Van is classic! 03

    You did a fantastic job pointing out the idiotic behavior of these morons on the repug side. It disgusts me to continue being reminded what type of fools they are. How anyone in their right mind’s would be proud to say that’s my senator, floors me. 
    Seeing the way jurky jOrdan and numbskull nUnes speaks to these officials they are questioning, is a disgrace. 
    They all belong with tRump looked up with the keys thrown away. Hopefully it will be soon.
    Thanks Nameless

    Nunes has, apparently, always been a fool, loves to show how expert he is at it, and Jordan is just a turd!
    Good job, nameless.

    Devin is also apparently a pretend farmer–something the cow illuminated and why the lawsuits (his district is heavily agriculture)…hope 2020 covers his political future in manure so the valley gets representation instead of antics
    Hope Gym finds the courts give him more than he can wrestle out of by failing in his supervisory duties and responsibilities leading to so much harm…
