It’s nice to see that the World's Oldest Democracy is approaching a semi-historic midterm election with its customary dignity. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, and the wee donkey, make it stop! I guess we should start with this Five Alarms in Beijing in Michigan that lit up the news well into Monday morning.
Rarely do you see anyone immolate their career in such a spectacular fashion as did Rep. The details are familar by now. Stevens has two mutual obsessions running on the same track and heading straight for each other.
First, she clearly hasn't yet gotten over losing the Michigan Democratic primary to Abdul El-Sayed. And second, she seems to be romantically involved with an absolute clown named Jared Turkish. I am unfamiliar with this website, but the reporting here seems fairly solid.
From Gongwer: As this crash-and-burn on CNN will attest. Stevens' meltdown should come as no surprise. Apparently, she assured half of Michigan that she would endorse El-Sayed on Sunday.
Then she appeared with Republican candidate Mike Rogers at a Black church, arguing that Agent Double-O Soul Rogers would be a boon to minority business. Of course, the questioning was all about her flea-on-a-griddle morning that ended up with her endorsement of the Republican candidate. A press availabilty was disrupted by some guy's yelling, "Traitor!" at her.
This caused her to flee the interview, as Sheriff Marge Gunderson once put it. Much of her congressional staff also resigned en masse. Meanwhile, El-Sayed rolled merrily along.
