Tunnel Wall

Rich Terrell /on Boss Tweed

AOC dismisses Green New Deal critics: ‘Like, I’m the boss’ . . . “ 'Like I just introduced the Green New Deal two weeks ago, and it’s creating all of this conversation. Why? Because no one else has even tried.

“ 'So people are like, ‘Oh it’s unrealistic. Oh it’s vague. Oh it doesn’t address this little minute thing,’ ” she added. “And I’m like, ‘You try. You do it. Cuz you’re not. Cuz you’re not. So, until you do it, I’m the boss.’ How about that?’ ” . . .How, like, Churchillian.

AOC Is Not ‘the Boss’ for Coming Up with a Plan That Can’t Work  . . . "Sorry, AOC — but this line of thinking is completely ridiculous. For one thing, someone should probably remind her that her job title is “representative” and not “God.” Her job is not to be a “boss,” but rather a servant of the people whom she represents. We aren’t supposed to be working for her; she’s supposed to be working for us.

Ocasio-Cortez flunks another intelligence test  . . . "Obviously, Ocasio-Cortez has no clue that Mussolini was a socialist through and through — nor that in German, "Nazi" is a contraction for "National Socialist."  But even with the deficient yet expensive education she received at Boston University, she should have been able to comprehend that she was being mocked by comparison to a tyrant.  She is unable to go beyond primary school–level understanding of a text." 

Occasional-Cortex: The Twilight Zone's monster  . . . "Over the weekend, Ocasio-Cortez released a video of herself cooking in her kitchen.  There is a microwave, refrigerator, etc., all the fossil-fueled comforts of home.  She pours herself some wine.  She says "like" every other word like a middle school–age child.  She misuses the few words she thinks she knows, and her voice is increasingly unlistenable.  She resembles a wind-up doll." . . .
