One of many down-home-country jokes he stole to deliver in his fake accent, during televised hearings just to win pithy comment points when they’re replayed on Twitter. Everyone should watch this amazing takedown of this clown:
who is this
Disclaimer: he is a bad man.
I think this meme format is viable.
Fun fact, AFTER he got his JD from Vanderbilt, he got an additional, advanced law degree at Oxford. Yes, that Oxford. Amazing that he was able to keep his accent through all of that.
Yes. So genuinely folksy. I have an entirely Southeastern Conference education. Now, I definitely knew some kids who never shed their accents after law school, and frankly I had at least one professor whose public persona, including his teaching, was not a world apart from Senator Leghorn here, but all of them could code-switch and tone it down considerably. It’s basically mandatory to succeed as a lawyer. The fact that he talks like he does says as much about the voting population of Louisiana as it does about Kennedy.
I remember hearing that he began leaning heavily into this persona when it won him an election though and it’s not really his baseline.
You don’t have to take anyones word for it, there’s plenty of news footage of him speaking earlier in his career when he was a democrat, no foghorn leghorn played up accent to be found. He still was hokey and used tired phrases for low-hanging laughs, but it wasn’t until he was appealing to Republicans for elected office that he started using that voice and making it his full time persona. Find cspan footage of his Senate democratic primary debate in 2004, then watch when he’s running for Senate as a Republican a couple years later. No remembering hearing required. He just likes power and, like many of the grifters, he found the way to get it.
Fascinating, thanks for your insight
That guy is the biggest cunt I’ve ever seen in US politics. There will be some serious issue and he’ll interject with his fake ass foghorn leghorn accent ‘deeid you send this tweeit in 2003?’
He can never stick to the actual issue, it’s always character assassination.
That’s not entirely true.
For example, sometimes he says “I want to feel your cock in my mouth.”
You’re so dumb that if there was a competition for the dumbest person on Earth you’d mess it up and come in second place.
Not the brightest knife in the crayon shed.
Dumb as potted light bulbs.
Tbf, I’ve no room to talk. I had a friend who constantly told me ‘at least you’re pretty’.
I know, and it’s a burden, it distracts from my brilliance.
Kennedy would be a lot of fun if he weren’t 95% MAGA and 5% “oil industry wherever it is slightly different than MAGA.”
That’s like saying that fucking a honey badger would be fun if it wasn’t 95% beastiality and 5% death wish.
Agreed.
I wouldn’t mind for “it” to happen.
Sir I bring you an apple juice so you can outlive me!
You’re so stupid that you thought Bose–Einstein condensate was something that you wipe off of your windows.
You’re so stupid that you think that you’re not.
Obviously Bose-Einstein condensate accumulates on headphones, not windows. Duh.
