VIDEO: Owed to Winkin, Blinkin and Nod

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) delivered a blistering speech Tuesday in which she called for the impeachment of Vice-President Kamala Harris, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and POTUS Sleepy Joe Biden, over the debacle that was the American "exit" from Afghanistan. I call that trio "Winkin, Blinkin and Nod". I'll tell you why in a moment, but first listen to what Ms Boebert said.

   

Saying that Ms Harris and Mr Blinken should follow President Biteme "out the freakin' door" doesn't demonstrate Ms Boebert's grasp of the lost art of rhetoric, but many Americans will agree wholeheartedly with Ms Boebert's demand that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) call Congress back from recess to vote on impeachment and resignation resolutions. 

"It is time for action," she said. "Impeach Biden, impeach Kamala Harris, and throw in the Secretary of State if you can get him back from vacation," refering to a WaPo timeline that revealed Blinken was hiding in the Hamptons the Friday before the collapse of the kleptocratic government of Afcrapistan.

Last week, Reps. Andy Harris (R-MD) and Ralph Norman (R-SC) introduced articles of impeachment last week against Blinken for his role in the U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan, which concluded Monday, just days after an Islamic terrorist attack outside Kabul airport killed nearly 80 people, including 13 American servicemen and women.

While all this was going on, what did the three "leaders" of the mightiest nation in the world do? Errr, nothing. I'm reminded of a poem written for children by Eugene Field (1850-1895), to whom I apologize for this little parody.


Winkin, Blinkin, and Nod one night
Sailed off to Afghanistan --
Off to a war they would not fight 
For which they had no plan. 

The old moon laughed and sang a song, 
 As they pondered what to do; 
And the Taliban vict'ry, known all along,
Made them sore afraid, it's true.

All night long their eyes they raised
To the stars in the twinkling foam,
Hoping for some miracle -- Allah be praised!
That would bring all Americans home:

So shut your eyes while Biden sings
Of success he saw in his dreams
But you shall see the shameful things 
When you wake to reality,
Of the Taliban owning the losers three --
Winkin, Blinkin, and Nod.
