WASHINGTON, D.C.—After Representative Adam Schiff came under scrutiny for reading a fake version of the phone call between President Donald Trump and the president of Ukraine, Schiff was forced to admit he is just a parody of an actual congressman.
“I know I may have seemed like a congressman, as I wear a suit and say Congress-y things, but I’ve actually just been a parody all along,” he said in a press conference Monday. “Wait—you all didn’t realize that this whole time!? I thought I was pretty clearly labeled satire.”
Schiff revealed his real name is Bob Peterson. He’s a method actor from Iowa. “I got really into the part,” he said. “And I guess at some point the line between reality and parody began to blur. Boy, it’s been a whirlwind for the past couple decades, hasn’t it?”
Peterson said he was sorry for those who were fooled by his act. “I never meant for anyone to take me seriously,” he said, chuckling. “I thought it was very clearly satire from the beginning.”
Go here to read the rest. As a teenager I followed the Watergate hearings closely. More than four decades later I think this farce will substantiate this observation of Marx:
Hegel remarks somewhere that all great world-historic facts and personages appear, so to speak, twice. He forgot to add: the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce.
Deranged Adam Schiff is the perfect ringmaster for this low comedy.
To misquote from one of my favorite Mel Gibson movies, the Democrats keep little Adam Schiff around because he’s a sadist, he lacks compunction.
A number of our prominent politicians do strike one as sociopaths. Adam Schiff is one. (Joe Biden is another).
I don’t know if I would categorize Schiff as a sociopath, but he and his cohorts on the left are so consumed with their ideology that the ends justify the means and whatever it takes to destroy the president is fair game in their minds.
