Clay Bennett for January 28, 2022

How soon until we hear “It’s too close to an election to make a decision”?

This makes me think that there were wasted opportunities to do Bates Motel cartoons when Mike Pence was still VP.

That’s one. Of course the one retiring is a moderate-to-liberal at heart, so whoever Biden appoints will at best keep things in their bad current state.

It’s all timing.

Looks like Mitch is up late ….. plotting.

Hopefully someone Better comes in

A highly distraught voice is heard in the background: “Mother!! What did you do?!!”. Sounds oddly like Mitch McConnell.

We wouldn’t be in quite so bad a shape if Ruth B. Ginsburg had overcome her ego and retired early, early enough for Obama to name a replacement. I forgot, never say anything bad about RBG.

appoint Harris to the Supreme Court freeing up Pelosi to be Vice President and then ongoing to a line of Democrats ably to serve.

What is the symbolism of the second floor left front window having a silhouette of a person standing by the window?

That’s exactly how it feels.

Where’s the widow’s walk?

The scary part is it’s an unfair “unbalance of power”. This is not democracy, this is a blatant power grab by the GQP!

A scary toon!

And who’s “playing” Norman? Thomas? Kavanaugh? Roberts? Alito? or personal favorite Gorsuch?

Biden might want to prefer baths over showers for a while.

MM only has to convince one of the Manchin/Sinema twins to vote NO. He has to relish his chances.

I bet they get a few Republicans voting for the first African American Jurist. After all, do they really want to vote against it when they are seeking re-election in a diverse state?

The (repro)Bates McConnell Motel

“We all go a little crazy sometimes.”

Enjoy your shower Brandon. That’s why we have Shower Guns…you never know.

I see a shadow in one of the 2nd story windows of the Bates Senate Hotel.

Isn’t that Mitch McConnell in the lit window?
