Liberty weeps


Ken Cuccinelli has been on my reprehensible-detecting radar for years now, ever since he tried to prosecute Michael Mann, then at the University of Virginia, for telling the basic accurate facts about global warming.  Cuccinelli was Virginia's Attorney General at the time.

Politically, Cooch hasn't done real well since, and because he's been a failure several times over, naturally the Trump administration picked him to be the acting director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service. (Note the "acting" - just about everyone in this Administration is an acting something-or-other now.)

So very recently, Cooch got moderately famous for being abysmally poetic.

Trump immigration official offers rewrite for Statue of Liberty poem

The Cooch "rewrite" went like this:

" "Give me your tired and your poor — who can stand on their own two feet and who will not become a public charge." "

Which reminded me of something -- a few things, in fact.
