Matt Gaetz’s last stand is just getting bizarre

Matt Gaetz, whom one Republican House member reportedly referred to as an “insect,” took a presser. Looking utterly at home in his sunglasses, hair standing at attention, a shit-eating grin on his face, Gaetz proceeded to whine about how people were not allowing Gym Jordan to become speaker.

This, of course, was before the vote, where Gym somehow wound up losing MORE votes. This appears to be a pattern for him. Now, since that third vote, Gym’s name is out of contention. Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, Gymbo.

But the nerve of Gaetz. He held a pity party for himself as he chatted earnestly with reporters about how Gym should be the Speaker. And after the vote? An unhappy Gaetz declared Gym had been “knifed in the back.”

The lack of self-awareness is astounding. Gaetz also referred to Gym as “the most popular Republican in Congress.” What planet is Gaetz living on? Not the reality planet. The Gym is despised, and many who pretend to like him are putting on an act — they are ACTING — you know, the thing Republicans do every day, as they pretend to give a damn about the American people.

There is irony in all this. Allow me to explain. Matt Gaetz lives in a house, my friends. This house is made entirely of glass. And Gaetz, the owner of the house just threw a heck of a lot of stones. People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. In Matt’s case, this expression most definitely applies. In fact, I can’t think of one person it applies to more.

This whole damn thing started because of Matt Gaetz. Matt is now bristling at people for doing exactly what he did — not voting for someone they do not like as Speaker. It would be like if Clarence Thomas yelled about Judges who do not recuse themselves when they should.

In other words — Gaetz is the ultimate stone-thrower, and he shouldn’t be. People who live in glass houses — especially republican glass houses where they do things just to get the attention they are desperately starved for — most definitely should not throw stones as Gaetz is doing right now.

At least Gym lost. If Gaetz is THAT upset about it, perhaps he should quit Congress and become Gym’s publicist.
