10 August—Monday evening my answering machine recorded a call from Leora Levy. After greeting me twice, she reminded me that she was running for Senate and was endorsed by President Trump. But I listened to her message anyway. Good thing, too, because Leora personally invited me to join her free tele-rally with her con-man messiah less than an hour thereafter. Free indeed. Does anybody actually pay for those things?

I couldn’t make Leora’s tele-rally because I had more important things to do. Like nothing. But I read about it online yesterday—even as the roughly one-fifth of Connecticut Republicans who bothered to vote in the primary were demonstrating their legendary stupidity. The former scumbag-in-chief evidently popped up on the phone line, as arranged, to praise Leora, attack Richie Blumenthal, and—as he can never resist doing—make a thoroughgoing ass of himself by mocking Themis Klarides’ names, disparaging her and everybody but Leora and himself, and lying through his fake teeth. He also predicted his ho would win because her “numbers are through the roof” and “you’re like a rocket ship.”

Leora politely thanked the putz: “Thank you so much, Mr. President. I will fight and I will win the primary and I will defeat Dick Blumenthal, and I appreciate your support tremendously. Thank you. You are a true patriot. You love our country, and you have done so much for our country. We were so much better off two years ago.” Well, she turned out to be right about the primary, anyway.

Evidently der Drecksack Führer had hung up during Leora’s intensive remote ass kissing to conjure up nasty things to say about the FBI, because he had nothing else to say Monday night.

But, as punishment for not wallowing through Monday night’s free tele-rally, yesterday I got a call from der Drecksack Führer himself, denigrating our current “joke of a senator” and extolling Leora Levy’s questionable virtues. And giving me no choice but to vote for her, of course.

That solicitation was sponsored by a group called the Connecticut Patriots PAC. Although I’d never heard of it, it’s for real, “an Independent Expenditure Only PAC (i.e., a Super PAC) focused on the election of Leora Levy in the race to represent Connecticut in the United States Senate,” according to the website. Fancy that.

Its “mission is to run an independent campaign focused on making sure Connecticut voters understand that instead of sending back to Washington a career politician who has rubber-stamped the Biden-agenda that has led to crippling inflation and skyrocketing crime, they have the option to elect an accomplished businesswoman and Cuban-refugee [sic, the hyphen is gratuitous] who understands firsthand [sic, between first and hand is where the hyphen belongs] what makes America so special.”

And so forth. A disclaimer on the website’s footer tells us, “Paid for by Connecticut Patriots PAC (CTPatriotsPAC.com). Not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee.” Good to know. Not that I’d have any problem if Leora Levy funded the whole damn super PAC all by herself. My problem is with Leora Levy.

As I disquisited on 5 August, “We stand a chance with Themis, but absolutely none with Leora. But you can always count on Connecticut Republicans to do the wrong thing.” Told ya so, but I hope Leora and her pimp don’t prove me wrong again. So, much as it pains me, then, let me pre-congratulate Senator Richie Blumenthal on his third term and assure him (and anyone else who gives a damn) that I will not be voting for Leora Levy . . .
