REPUBLICANS:...In State Of The Union Response, A High School Performance...Alabama Junior Sen. Katie Britt Latest GOP Sacrifice...She Gomered It...Whiney, Whispered Little Nothings...

McALLEN, Texas |...Ah, Republicans. They'll always bring you the funny stuff. Cheetos-fattened lies, yes, but also down-home, often-corny, sort-of goofy comedy. I mean, Matt Gaetz? Marjorie Trailer Greene? Lauren Boebert? And, well, we thought Little Marco Rubio was the bottom of the barrel.

Heck, you pine for glib Bobby Jindal and even the masculine Sarah Huckabee Sanders at times like this.

Well, at times like last night.

High-neck, 42-year-old Katie Britt, shown in color photo above, is the emerging GOP comedian-of-the-hour. She killed it in her burbled post-Biden State of The Union address. Killed it as in perhaps killed-off any future opposition party rebuttals to the President's speech before Congress.

The wife of 6'8", 320-lb. former New England Patriots lineman Wesley Britt tried to tackle Joe Biden with the most ridiculous rebuttal ever - ever! Picture a whiney wife dressed to the nines offering words of how much the American wife and household is suffering under the Biden Administration, and you get one view. Britt's performance, however, lasted more than 17 long, long, long minutes, most of it worthy, said the pundits of a Saturday Night Live skit by a poor actress.

That, it was.

Her points were Donald J. Trump's points. Someone wrote that Britt, a birdlike-woman with the perfect whiney, backwater voice heard only in her native. low-energy Alabama, had emailed her speech to Trump for his approval and editing.

So much for it being a Katie Britt address.

We laughed and cringed at hearing her voice and watching her silly facial expressions (youtube.com has several videos this morning). We know it's all for "effect," but Britt was, as they used to say about Donkey Shows in Mexican border bordellos, over-the-top, as in an actress doing her damndest at an audition, her first.

From www.axios.com: [ The speech from the freshman senator is a stark example of how Republicans continue to make immigration and border security their top election year issue. Britt also took aim at Biden's economic record, hitting the president on inflation after he trumpeted wins on the economy in his speech.

Britt criticized Biden's foreign policy even as he led his State of the Union with pushing Republicans to pass aid to Ukraine. ]

Yeah, blah, blah, blah all over again from these ornery, always-the-naysayers-in-the-crowd.

Republicans have serious members of Congress who could have given a better, perhaps even sorta-believable rebuttal. Names are all across my brain. Sen. John Thune who is seeking to replace retiring Mitch McConnell as U.S. Senate Majority Leader. Maybe Steve Garvey, the former Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman in the running to replace Democrat Dianne Feinstein in California. Or even Greg Abbott, the pro-Border Everything governor of Texas!

Katie Britt? She's the junior, freshman senator from Alabama, fer chrissakes! That wide, wide, wide, wide gap between Joe Biden's experience and Britt's inexperience was glaring. You felt sorry for the dame in this one. Katie Britt's jarring performance may portend an end to her political career. 

Amateurish Britt's all you've got, GOP?

Looks like it.

President Biden won the night...
