Continuing his effort to empty the studios at Fox "News," the Malignant Fascist announced yesterday that he was appointing shouty Jeanine "Judge Box O' Wine" Pirro acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. Pirro, whose nickname comes from several episodes of appearing disheveled and "tipsy" on-air (video clips embedded), replaces "Stop the Steal" crackpot Ed Martin, Jr., whose nomination was killed by the Senate Judiciary Committee:
Pirro, who joined Fox News in 2006, cohosts the network’s show “The Five” on weekday evenings. She was elected as a judge in New York’s Westchester County Court in 1990 before serving three terms as the county’s elected district attorney.
Trump tapped Pirro to at least temporarily lead the nation’s largest U.S. Attorney’s office after pulling his nomination of conservative activist Ed Martin Jr. for the position earlier Thursday. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said he was naming Pirro as the interim U.S. attorney in Washington, D.C., but didn’t indicate whether he would nominate her for the Senate-confirmed position on a more permanent basis.
“Jeanine is incredibly well qualified for this position, and is considered one of the Top District Attorneys in the History of the State of New York. She is in a class by herself,” Trump wrote...
She's in a class by herself, all right! Well, almost. She's right there along with fellow Fox alumnus and dedicated drunk "Pancake Pete" Hegseth, who woke up from a stupor to find himself in charge of the Department of Defense. But, both meet the one and only standard for appointment to the MF's dystopian circus: absolute loyalty and the willingness to do whatever they're told to do. Boozehounds and winos accepted.
Only the best people!
BONUS: SNL has great send-ups of Pirro's imbibing, with Cecily Strong nailing the impression. Here's a compilation of some of those bits, with many more that you can find on YouTube --

Any idea how much is being paid? different sources say she's getting north of 3 million a year at Fux. Oh wait, her boss is Trump.
ReplyDeleteSeafury -- no idea, but perhaps Trump is augmenting her civil service salary with some sweet Trump cryptocoin...
ReplyDelete🤬 I really hate being trolled by the President! "You think Martin was an unqualified jackass? Hold my Adderall!" But, of course, Ed Martin actually received a promotion* to a position tailor-made for his skills at bullying good folks and boosting the worst dregs of humanity! He will lead the "Destruction of People Who Did Their Jobs," aka Weopanization of Government Investigations Working Group. He will also become the DOJ Pardon Attorney because the last one was fired for taking her job seriously; not allowing horrific domestic abuser Mel Gibson to have his gun rights restored!! None of this is surprising. Just disgusting!! 🤢🤮🤬
