Beto O’Rourke Is The Political Wart That Won’t Go Away
M.D. Kittle
Someone my family knows well — let’s just call her an old family friend to protect the subject of this, uh, sensitive story — for years battled a nasty plantar wart on the ball of her foot. Our friend and her doctors tried just about everything shy of amputation. Salicylic acid treatments. Prescription medicines. Cryotherapy. Immunotherapy. Minor surgeries (electrodesiccation and curettage). She couldn’t get rid of it. That freeloading wart just wouldn’t take the hint.
The unpleasant growth hung around so long she gave it a name: Stuey.
She should have called it Beto. As in Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke, the former congressman, three-time high-stakes political loser, and leftist hanger-on. He is the wart, the Stuey if you will, of American leftist politics. The multimillionaire — made so with a huge assist from his very wealthy daddy-in-law — has been rejected by Texas and national Democrats in races for U.S. Senate and governor and in his ill-fated bid for the White House.
Like a pesky plantar wart, Robbie has no intention of going away mad because he has no intention of going away. He’s an unrequited lover in need of a restraining order. A Texas judge recently slapped him with one.
