Mitch McConnell has now joined the pantheon of the greats, greats defined in this context as politicians for whom Donald Trump has created a mocking nickname. Alongside Crooked Hillary and Sleepy Joe, McConnell now has received a treasured moniker, that of Old Crow. What’s that you say? Does McConnell have any Indian ancestry? Who knows, but they’ve got to be laughing up at the Happy Hunting Grounds just as much as we are down here.
Or, maybe Old Crow is meant as the patriarch of Jim Crow. That actually would make more sense. Here’s Trump’s full statement. Raw Story:
“I see that the RINO Senator from Alabama, close friend of Old Crow Mitch McConnell, Richard Shelby, is pushing hard to have his ‘assistant’ fight the great Mo Brooks for his Senate seat,” Trump said of GOP Senate hopeful Katie Britt.
“She is not in any way qualified and is certainly not what our Country needs or not what Alabama wants,” he said.
“For Mitch McConnell to be wasting money on her campaign is absolutely outrageous. Vote for Mo Brooks! He stands for America First, and everything Alabama wants. He also has my Complete and Total Endorsement,” Trump said.
Or, since Kentucky is known for its fine bourbon, Old Crow could be the name of some cheap rotgut like Jim Beam, that’s more suited to cleaning storm drains than for human consumption. Old Crow, Jim Crow, Jim Beam — this is Donald Trump’s psyche we’re trying to make sense of here, it’s bound to be strange.
It’s anybody’s guess what made Trump call McTurtle “Old Crow.” If you have an idea and you want to share in the comments, feel free. It’s lie on the couch therapy time. What oh what is going on in the mind of Donald Trump?
If I was McConnell, I’d throw it back in Trump’s face, by saying that the Native American Indians saw the crow as a symbol of power and wisdom. That’s by far the way to go, make Trump look like the idiot he is.
Wikipedia: “Old Crow is a low-priced brand of Kentucky-made straight bourbon whiskey distilled by Beam Suntory, which also produces Jim Beam and several other brands of whiskey. The current Old Crow product uses the same mash bill and yeast as Jim Beam, but is aged for a shorter period of time”
Cheaper bourbon.
Oh that is wonderful. Hand to God, I didn’t know that. I was just free associating. If it’s worst than Jim Beam, it’s baaaad. I mean rot gut. So I guess McConnell knows that’s what the reference is, huh?
I don’t know that it’s worse than Beam, just not as smooth – that’s aging.
We toured the black label company operations, where the good stuff is made, it’s interesting to note the water clear stuff pouring through the glass encased observation port, is very strong and would be more like the, “White Lightning”, home brew, except for the aging process in oak barrels … the longer the better … green label is shorter, (not much), black label is the king.
Ole Jack Daniels has done it right for years, burning a stack of maple sticks for just right filtering charcoal, warehouses of hundreds of barrels sitting calmly getting just right for the other stream, going to the glass bottle/label machines …
Name-calling is one of the few dubious tools the FG has. Stringing together a coherent argument or observation is beyond his ability.
One thing: if anyone knows about being unqualified it’d be ol’ diaper don. He’s not even qualified to wipe his butt correctly.
FG has claimed to be teetotal for decades. Intriguing that he’d chose a cheap bourbon as an insult for Moscow Mitch. We ARE talking about someone with the situational awareness of a flatworm.
🙂
More turtle than crow. I wonder if Donnie Dumbass knows that Brooks has thrown him under the bus over the Capitol riots? He may want to rescind his endorsement.
The truly dangerous element in all this is that That slimy toad McConnell EMBRACES all the bad publicity andeven has framed copies of the negative cartoons about him hanging on his office walls. Peopoe like this have no shame about their scorn for their responsibilities to the people and are as dangerous as, or even more dangerous than gun-toting terrorists because their destruction is more lasting and far reaching. McConnell should be seriously investigates. I think there is plenty of evidence of currpotion to bring him down,
BTW, Old Crow was referred to as “Ole Crock” when I was growing up because it was affordable to underaged high chool drinkers and it provided a quick cheap drunk, that and Southern Comfort were the preferred ones. Happy to report that though the formula is quit similar, Jack Daniens is not bourbon cause Kentucky has the, as the french would call it, appellation contrôlée for bourbon, while Jack is good old sour mash Tennessee corn whiskey!
