    I feel bad for satirists like writers at The Onion. How do you satirize people like Boebert or Greene? Anytime you come up with a crazy satire for them, they’ll just say something even worse.

      They just start writing stories featuring reasonable politicians who aren’t taking insane positions.

      I mean in a world where Mitt Romney seems like a reasonable guy, everything is satire.

      Easy, just write them some straight-faced, reasonable, and nmainstram lines, and then slap on a laugh track on the delivery.

      GOLD, Jerry!
