Calling it a “medical mystery of the first order,” scientists are baffled by the ability of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan to stand upright without the benefit of spines.
Doctors at the University of Minnesota Medical School, who have been studying the skeletal structures of both Republicans for months, believe that their ability to stand, walk, and even break into a brisk trot when confronted by reporters’ questions is “virtually inexplicable.”
“The fact that they can do these things without the aid of spines makes McConnell and Ryan anomalies in the animal kingdom,” said Dr. Davis Logsdon. “According to everything medical science teaches us, their bodies should be collapsing to the ground in two heaps.”
Read full article at “The New Yorker” It gets better 🙂
Thanks for the laugh!
Ha ha! Andy Borowitz is brilliant!
good one!!
And can anyone explain the stupid looking grin McConnell always seems to have plastered on his face now? Is it gas?
Goodness, it might be helium. Maybe he is not walking but floating without a spine.
Hee hee hee. Thanks for the laugh. They certainly had spines when Obama was president. I suppose their lack of spines now just makes them worms.
Plenty of humour can’t limit our scare….!
No it can’t but it makes it easier.
I absolutely love this! Lol doesn’t hurt that it’s true. 😛
It made my day. 🙂
Unfortunately, I am all too aware of McConnell. He’s my district’s Congressman…and has been getting richer by the year thanks to my fellow voters. I can’t stand him, and he’s now the most powerful asshat in DC. He’s exhibit A of why term limits for Congress are so necessary. Makes me sick to even look at him. 😠
Yet so many seem to be fine with it. It puzzles me. I don’t know how we got there and I have not the slightest idea how we will get out of it.
Vote the fuckers out. Simple as that. The problem is getting more people to vote. And the ones that don’t are the ones who’ll bitch the most. We have the power. These people work for us, not the other way around.
I never understood how someone can’t be interested in voting. Too many seem to not care -or they feel that they won’t be heard. Many think they are not represented.
I hope the last election was a wake-up call and we will rise above it.
Big things could happen during the mid-term elections.
tee hee hee! they should slide along like the snakes they are~
What a great and fun article to read.
