Warren: McConnell won't say hello to me

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said in a recent interview that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) brushes her off when she says hello.

In an interview with The Boston Globe about the release of her latest book, “This Fight Is Our Fight,” Warren said McConnell turns his head when she says hello.

“I’ve spoken to him, but he has not spoken to me,” Warren told the newspaper. “I say hello to Mitch every chance I get, and he turns his head.”

and Warren is very fortunate to have McConnell as an enemy.

He really is a bantam rooster. He's about to find that out.

Pence won't appoint a woman to his top staff just in case they have to work late alone together one night.

Pence would be safe with just about any woman. Who finds HIM attractive? Pinched little mouth, pinched little mind.

Persist with your attempts at civility, Sen. Warren. That will drive him crazy.

If I were her, I would kill him with kindness - especially when there are other people around.

Then tell every interviewer about it.

19. I'm not saying Mitch McConnell is a syphilitic tortoise

I'm just saying he looks like one.

Note to self: Ask vet if tortoises can actually get syphilis.

Funny aside: if you mis-type syphilis, spellcheck suggests "Sharpies". Given how fond trump is of Sharpies, and how much he has relied on McConnell, I find this typo very funny.

in a very calm and polite voice, "Mitch, did you not hear me?, I said hello?". Make everyone present notice that his being rude

My husband wanted her to slug him on the shoulder first, but I recommend no physical contact. How would she ever get rid of the cooties and slime?
