Don’t Go Talking Smack About Our Girl Susan Collins
Kurt Schlichter
I'm so hardcore right-wing that I consider Genghis Khan a sissy femboy, but I must confess my adoration for Sen. Susan Collins. You know Susan Collins? She's a Republican from Maine, which is a lot like finding leftovers in Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker's fridge. It's theoretically possible, but you never truly expect to see it actually happen.
And yet it has happened. For five six-year terms, the good people of the Maple Syrup 'n Moose State have sent this Republican off to Washington, D.C. She's now running for a sixth term, in which, next November, she'll face either Herr Obergruppendoofus Graham Platner (D-Nuremberg) or Gov. Janet Mills (D-Sunny Acres). If Collins wins – or, rather, when she wins – she'll remain the last elected Republican senator north of Pennsylvania. And, as far as I am concerned, she has a permanent "Get Out of Conservative Media Outrage" card that allows her to do whatever she needs to make that happen, no matter how annoying what she does is in the short term.
It's super weird to have a Republican in New England, and we conservatives need to sit back, shut up, and enjoy the ride. How did it happen? The people of Maine are known for being quirky, starting with how they choose to live in Maine. Some of us like cold weather and woods; folks like me prefer our trees palm and our food Mexican. But Mainers are gonna Maine. They lean blue, and it's getting worse as a result of the invasion of the Chardonnay crones from the rest of New England who flee north to escape the damage they've done to their home states, yet feel compelled to bring the same garbage politics they are trying to escape from along with them.
