It gets better: "Sen. John KENNEDY" - corny Oxford alum, lawyer - *also* supported John KERRY

[UTUSN]

Beyond the frequent threads about how stupid CRUZ and RUBIO are, here's this KENNEDY a-hole applying a religious test to a government job. He's so full of proto-phoniness: Yes, it's his own name but is a constant reference to somebody else's name; yes, a real lawyer who fails legal knowledge; yes, an Oxford alum whose Aw-Shucks persona grates; yes, the Massachusetts KENNEDYs reference includes their appearances but he looks and is like a Munster.

I say "proto-" phoniness, because it's his real name, he's technically a real lawyer, and his down home background is real - yet everything about him suggests phoniness.

Kudos to the nominee who threw subtle shade at him with the "difference between ... a private citizen and working as a lawyer ..." !

But beyond all that, he's an erstwhile Democrat, did we know that?

‘Do You Believe in God?’ Senator John Kennedy Hectors Biden DOJ Nominee Over Religious Beliefs

…. Dellinger replied “I sincerely appreciate that people have a different position on abortion than I do,” adding, “I recognize the difference between someone saying something inartfully as a private citizen and working as a lawyer, and I think I’ve got a 30-year track record of being open-minded.”

Senator Kennedy makes frequent appearances on cable news where he is known for his homespun folksiness, even though he studied at Oxford University and has been mocked for his past support of 2004 Democratic nominee John Kerry. ….

1. He is such a damned poseur... That exaggerated good ole boy accent/speaking style

for someone educated at Oxford? Really?

And yeah, I used poseur for the more common term, poser. I don't deny my education. Like most Americans who worked for it or somehow managed to acquire that education, I'm proud of it. Most Americans, except Republicans, whose contempt for the intellectual is both hypocritical and damaging.

2. His "Southern Country Lawyer" routine is optics.

It’s a show. Other Senators (Democrats, like former Senator Al Franken) have said it’s a television persona. In real life he is different.
