There was a commercial during the last gubernatorial campaign, that lauded Ron as “God’s chosen one,” or similar words. I assumed that’s where the ‘sanctimonious’ moniker sprang from. Found it.

Doesn’t really apply in this case, but what the hey. ---

AFA brains go, he took on the Mouse because they hurt his fee fees, and he had a chance to look brawny…ish, but instead chose to wear white go go boots. Yeah, that’s presidential material 🙄 ---

> [@Daithi\_Lacha](#): > > Regarding meatball, it’s sometimes applied disparagingly to guys who are more brawn than brains. Doesn’t really apply in this case, but what the hey. Sometimes referring to an overweight person. Or a slow witted or slow moving person. It’s always intended to disparage. ---

In DeSantis’s case it just might be a compliment. ---

Moderating: This thread is not appropriate for P&E, amounting to nothing more than P&E-sanctioned name calling, which we don’t allow. It belongs in the Pit. Accordingly, I’m closing the thread. @slicedalone, you can PM me if you want it reopened in the Pit. ---
