Poor Poor Moscow Mitch

1. Moscow Mitch is one of the

less offensive nicknames we all have for this traitor. He most certainly can not be called a "loyal American" His entire time in the senate has been spent padding his bank accounts. He represents nobody but himself. Maybe the citizens of Kentucky will finally see him for what he really is - a sham of a "representative". Isn't it time to review the pensions and benefits of these deadwood so-called "representatives"? They all leave office as millionaires, yet STILL suck off taxpayers for a pension and medical coverage. They can afford their own medical coverage with the money they have pocketed during their tenure. Correct me if I am wrong, but I seem to have read somewhere that they receive these benefits after just ONE term in office! Sweet deal for any scam artist who wants an easy workday, and plush benefits.

2. I agree that on the surface of it, "Moscow Mitch" is less offensive than other nicknames, but

it is far more effective. It brings attention to the fact that he is a greedy, opportunistic, money-grubbing traitor who has sold out his country for a few rubles. It is more likely to turn Republican voters away from him than any other nicknamer I can think of. And it certainly got HIS attention.
