Because Tommy "Coach" Tuberville exists, Marsha Blackburn stumbles along under the radar, when she truly represents the supreme fusion of stupid and hateful in today's Senate.
Sure, Coach is stupid. Obdurate. Dumb as a rock. But on the hatefulness scale he would need an injection of Jesse Helms to reach Blackburn levels. She is...how do you say it? An artist of hateful stupidity. Or the opposite of an artist.
And she looks like Bannon in "did my own research" drag, no offense intended to drag as those artists could actually help her look presentable, ugly inside and out.
Jesse Helms is a blast from the past. My friends all hated him. My company got called to deliver balloons to his house from his daughter. Welp, there was a custom Jesse Helms doormat we learned so we went back and stole it. Wore it out by wiping our asses and just doing stupid stuff to destroy it. Went back and they had another so we stole that one! Went back for another one but they gotten wise and didn’t have it replaced with his name.
Did Paramore subsequently decline the honor because the TN leg went full asshole on Allison Russell? I hope they did, or accepted it while using it as an opportunity to call out the pigs for who they are.
Wonderful, so nice to see people coming together, and who doesn’t like good music? (Oh, some of the extreme right who thinks it is sinful, and who ignore that singing joyously is in the BIBLE; personally, I don’t care if it’s in the Bible, it’s just good for human beings.)
“Every now and then when your life gets complicated and the weasels start closing in, the only cure is to load up on heinous chemicals and then drive like a bastard from Hollywood to Las Vegas ... with the music at top volume and at least a pint of ether.”

I don't *think* I'm too cool for shit, even despite having one friend and 5 others (that I know of) that are friend-of-a-friend, or colleague, in this video. What WOULD be cool would be Marhsa Blackburn fucking ALL THE WAY OFF, so she's never heard from again...and this is a great step.
If, as a side benefit, some folks discover Jaimee Harris or Katie Pruitt or Mary Gauthier (whose book, Saved By A Song, is indispensable) or Elizabeth Cook...well, that's just a plus. Support artists, my good ppl, especially those who use their voice for change.
Come on, Tennessee. I really want to feel good about visiting...
People bragging that they are wholly unaware of popular culture isn't the flex they think it is. So weird when I see it.

The Tell-all we've all been waiting for will come out with Senator Blackburn's defeat come November:
I Was Marsha Blackburn's Hair Stylist
A Cry For Help From Inside the House
I had no idea I share Tennessee with Mr Hurst. How fortunate for him!
Also Marsha Blackburn is the worst.

Also, very VERY excited about the prospect of a Beyonce version of 'Jolene'!!!!

Maybe we send Marsha a nice letter recommending her going back into the mall management business.
Something she may be better at.
Malls are the future of retail. She could get in on the ground floor.
I've been finna send Marsha an AA meeting schedule for her area.
