Code Neon Blue!

The common perception about Marilyn Musgrave’s intellect is that she’s not the sharpest disc on the manure spreader. (That’s meant to be an ag joke, but if you prefer to see it as political commentary, fine by me.)

Even so, I was flabbergasted by THIS ARTICLE in the online Greeley Tribune, telling about Marilyn explaining the so-called stimulus check procedure to residents at a local retirement community.

MM said she was concerned about seniors who live off of Social Security…LIKE HER MOTHER.

I don’t know the details of Marilyn’s personal finances, of course, but I’m pretty sure there are no poor Republicans holding congressional seats. Which means there are two possibilities here.

One, Marilyn was cluelessly trying to bond with her audience by saying they were in the same financial straits as her poor dear old aged mother living month to month on her meager SS checks…even though it was a little fib and her mom has plenty of other assets.

OR….

Marilyn’s mom lives on or near the poverty line while her daughter jets back and forth from DC and lives the high life like all the other Bushistas.

I wonder which it is?

P.S. Short explanation of my recent absence: blah-blah-blah busy with other stuff going on blah-blahcakes. I’m back now.
