Bah Humbug

 ("The Winter Mitch McConnell Created")

"Bah, humbug."

Mitch McConnell not only has the look of Ebenezer Scrooge but his soul, prior to his "awakening." He is cold, heartless and willing to treat all the Tiny Tim's of our present day Covid tale as "cripples" unworthy of his affection, attention or care.

Mr. McConnell has been a most highly visible, and highly effective destructive force in the government for well over a decade, first vowing to make Mr. Obama a one term President, then orchestrating the blatant obstruction of virtually every action taken by the Democrats to try to effectuate their policies. Next, declaring a Supreme Court vacancy off limits for 11 months before the the 2016 election in a successful gambit to "save" this seat for a Republican President and Senate. And now spearheading the effort to choke off desperately needed funds from being delivered to individuals, businesses and state governments staggering under the weight of the pandemic.

If Charles Dickens was writing today, he could scarcely have created a more miserable modern day Scrooge than the Senate majority leader. And unless Mr. McConnell is visited by three very frightening and compelling ghosts in the next fortnight, there is little hope that millions of stockings will be filled with anything but coal this Christmas.
