Politically speaking, I don’t have a dog in the hunt that is the Alabama Republican primary for the US Senate, which doesn’t mean I can’t take all kinds of pleasure from this exchange, coming after Jeff Sessions called for a series of debates with Tommy Tuberville:
Kudos to Sessions’ research staff, but, guys, you’ve just scratched the surface there. How about a video series of interviews with folks at Ole Miss and the Texas Tech recruits Tubs blew off during lunch after he learned he got the Cinci job? (“Alabama voters, if he’ll do it to them, he’ll do it to you, too!”)
And if y’all can’t find a way to mock Tuberville over this…
… you need to go back to snark school. The man’s a walking advertisement for bullshit.
Get crackin’, fellas! Time’s a wastin’. Entertain us.

Fear the thumb.
Is there a political equivalent to a meteor game?
That was a stupid question.

Pardon my cynical side coming out this morning, but all elections are meteor games.

“Alabama voters, if he’ll do it to them, he’ll do it to you, too!”
Gallagher is famous for smashing produce, but my favorite riff of his is roughly:
“Hey, there’s a politician, smiling with his wife and kids,
Well, his dick works,
Tired of doing it to her; wants to try you”.
And of course, P.J. O’Rourke is spot on with: “Politics is the art of getting power without merit”.

I’d further add that politics is Hollywood for ugly people.

The fix is obviously in; extremely little chance this debate happens, but if there was ever a senate primary debate I wanted to watch more than this one, I can’t recall it. Sessions needs to go 3rd party.

“In Birmingham, they love the Senator.”
That’s a classic, Brother Bluto. Now every time I hear Sweet Home Alabama I’ll think of it and chuckle.

Ugh. Was on a bidness trip in Birmingham in early March and was oh so close to stealing some Tuberville yard signs to liven up the tailgate this fall. But it was raining and I didn’t want to get out of the car.
So much regret. So much regret.

This whole race has been a joke, but when you look at the whole slate, the Alabama GOP didn’t have much to work with.
I mean, leave it up to this state to screw up a primary so badly that a deep red state may just re-elect a Democrat to the senate.

Politicians are fake pretty much by definition, but Tommy Tuberville manages to raise (or lower?) the bar for fakeness. If he shook my hand I’d check to make sure there was still a watch on my wrist.

Then there was his beginning in the SEC when, before taking the Auburn job, he insisted that FSU be taken off the schedule and to our undying shame in the SEC, Auburn paid FSU $1M not to play an ACC team.

I feel like celebrating 13-0 isn’t anywhere near the top of the list for skewering Tuberville.
That’s perhaps one of the only things I could ever rationalize sympathizing with him. Especially since Oklahoma got blown out in the National title game.
