I'D WRITE THE scene of little Susan Collins in a pinafore and puff sleeves honing her dumb little girl act, the one she's played to complete success in the decades in which she has been a member of Congress and before that as she held a few minor offices. I don't know if she was doing it back when she briefly worked in a Republican administration in Massachusetts but she's done it and flourished by playing "I'm just too naive and innocent to learn a single little thing" from all of the warnings of credible people, experts testifying on the consequences of adopting or rejecting legislation, those reporting on the records of appointees, those warning of the real record of the likes of Brett Kavanaugh as opposed to their transparent testilying in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee (on which little dumb Susan is entirely and demonstrably unqualified to sit See Also the UIE post yesterday).
She, of course, isn't alone, the entire Republican caucus of the United States Senate is doing just what little dumb Susan does, but they do it with blatant and overt amorality and a complete lack of even the inadequate legalistic, "enlightenment" era substitute for morals, ethics. Little dumb Susan does it too, and for exactly the same reason but by doing her stupid little girl act she is called a "moderate." And that's enough for a stupid margin of Maine voters to return her to the Congress where she does that over and over again. And the Maine media plays its part in that every time, too.
