Vance’s campaign song, courtesy of French band Plastic Bertrand

Allez hop, la nana, quel panard  
Quelle vibration  
De s’envoyer sur le paillasson  
Limée, ruinée, vidée, comblée  
“You are the King of the divan”  
Qu’elle me dit en passant  
Ouh-ouh-ouh-ouh  
I am the King of the divan

You just _ **know** _ that now that he’s pondered the rumor long enough, he’s gone ahead and fucked the couch just out of curiosity’s sake. Hopefully, he used the glove.

I move that “fucked the couch” should replace the expression “screwed the pooch” in the English lexicon.

YES!!!

ETA: Let’s make that “_ **screwed** _ the couch” so it can be reported unedited by more media and used by more genteel folks.

IIRC, “screwed the pooch” was originally a Bowdlerized version of “fucked the dog”, so I suppose the PG-rated version works.

Podcaster David Pakman has started referring to him as J. D. Lindell.

I had to think about that one for a second. I also feel bad for the Vance kids, because they will eventually hear this story.
