Once again, Andy Borowitz goes for the ridiculous with something that could actually happen

[Miles Archer]

The Onion's Joe Biden stories, most of the time, were hilarious...because even though a "shirtless Joe Biden" never washed his "'Zam" in the White House driveway, never sold bootlegged Hillary "merch," the most ridiculous scenarios captured the badass behind the Biden grin, and Joe himself loved them. He wasn't a joke, he was the biggest part of the joke, a larger-than-life figure who really could pull that off, if he wanted to.





But what do you do when you're Andy Borowitz and you tackle a supremely unlikable, lacking in charm, "connected" Republican who walked into a Cabinet position solely on the merits of the money her family donated? An individual who is so opposed to the things she's supposed to be fighting for that her only success will be to meet, or exceed, Bannon's desire to see government destroyed from the inside? An individual whose sense of humor is probably bribing the waiter to "forget" the toast points for that nearby table that just ordered caviar?

I guess you come up with this:
