Greene Goes Full Pot-Kettle on Boebert

In an amazing display of pot-kettle mentality, US Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican from Georgia, this week called her fellow member of Congress, Lauren Boebert, a Republican from Colorado, a "little bitch" on the House floor.  Greene and Boebert who both were first elected to Congress in the fall of 2020 and were sworn into office in 2021 just three days before Trump's attempted coup and insurrection, have reportedly been at each other's proverbial throats since this past December.

It's a shame that the two congresswomen can't get along because they seem to have similar philosophies of government.  Neither is focused on writing legislation and passing bills, but seem to be focused on ways to disrupt government, make headlines on Fox, and find ways to fundraise off of their elected positions.

The current flap revolves around each of their efforts to impeach President Biden, something that clearly is not going to happen, but maneuvers which animate their bases, nonetheless.  Marge Green had introduced impeachment resolutions against not only Biden, but also against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas,  FBI Director Christopher Wray, Matthew Graves, the US Attorney for the District of Columbia, and US Attorney General Merrick Garland.

Marge Greene seemed to have the "look at me, I'm impeaching people" lane all to herself until Lauren Boebert stepped on her colleague's toes and introduced her own resolution to impeach Joe Biden.  Then, while there was still confusion in the House on how to proceed - or even if to proceed on the impeachment resolutions, Boebert introduced a measure that would force a House vote on her impeachment resolution.

And when Boebert maneuvered her resolution to the forefront, Marge was mightily pissed - and lashed out on the House floor calling Boebert a "little bitch" to her face - a bit of high drama that was caught on camera.  In a subsequent interview with an internet news outlet, Marge enhanced that description to a "nasty little bitch."

Marge Greene says that Boebert is imitating her, and she notes that imitation is the highest form of flattery.

Perhaps it's imitation, but another possibility is that it's simply reflection.  The similarities between the two women seem to be much more striking than any differences that exist between the two.  Both seem far more focused on political maneuverings to keep their names in the news than they are in any serious efforts to legislate or govern.  Neither will manage to get Joe Biden - nor anyone else - removed from office, yet they are certain to remain at the center of many whacky political storms.  And both have experienced marital upheaval since first being elected to Congress, and both have recently filed for divorce from the fathers of their children.

Pot, take a long, hard look in the mirror and meet Kettle.

Tweedle dee, tweedle-dumb.
