As Menachem Begin was rumored to have said at the start of the Iran-Iraq war, we wish success to both sides. ---

Call me crude, but I want to see a girl-on-girl hair-pulling contest (preferably in a big vat of Jell-o) between the two of them. You know, something in keeping with their combined intellectual/maturity level. Lauren/Marge works just as well for me, too. ---

> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > So Marge Greene and Lauren Boebert are feuding. I don’t have enough popcorn. I for one am not the least surprised by this. The innumerable “Mean girl” movies I’ve watched over the years, have taught me that there can only be one “Queen Bee”. Boebert and Greene are vying for the same ecological niche that Palin’s failure to achieve any electoral success since 2008 has left open, so they are natural rivals. Its a pretty close match, Boebert’s general attractiveness and skill with beauty products would seem make her the odds on favorite, but I think Greene’s advantage in overall viciousness will win the day. ---

> [@Buck\_Godot](#): > > The innumerable “Mean girl” movies I’ve watched over the years, have taught me that there can only be one “Queen Bee” Maybe the Pubs should vote on who gets to be Queen Bee instead of Speaker, and the winner gets to appoint the Speaker. ---

If Santa truly loves me, Bobo will take MTG down by releasing BTS photos of her as “January 5 Pipe Bomb Delivery Girl.” MTG will counter with lost photos of Bobo’s “call girl” era. Forget popcorn, bring on the Junior Mints. ---

If Empty-G is supporting McQarthy then Bobo must be supporting Andy Fucking Biggs for speaker. Loser thinks he has a chance! He’s about 250 votes shy of being speaker. ---

I think Boebert’s nickname hits a little close to home, and I am angry at the gods that it worked out that way.
