GET HER MEDICATED – AT 1:20 P.M. ET:  Some people in politics wear out their welcome before they're even welcomed.  Consider this prize example from the annals of bad taste.  From Fox: 

Democratic Socialist darling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Friday said fellow progressives’ and her election victory – in an overwhelmingly Democratic district – was akin to the 1969 moon landing and the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

“We've done what we thought was impossible,” she told a crowd during an event hosted by an environmental group, the Sunshine Movement, that aims to combat climate change.

“We went to the moon. We electrified the nation. We established civil rights. We enfranchised the country. We dig deep, and we did it. We did it when no one else thought that we could. That's what we did when so many of us won an election this year,” Ocasio-Cortez added...

...But Ocasio-Cortez’s claim that their election victory is on par with the historical moments in American history appears to be exaggerated.

She became a household name after defeating a 10-term Democratic Rep. Joe Crowley in the party’s primary, sending shockwaves across the Democratic Party’s establishment.

Yet she easily cruised to victory because her district doesn’t have a Republican presence and no viable opponent was put forward to oppose her candidacy.

Even in her primary election against Crowley, less than 16,000 people voted for the Democratic Socialist, out of total 27,744 ballots, despite the district having hundreds of thousands of registered Democrats.

COMMENT:   I'm glad Fox set the record straight on that.  Little Evita's victory was minor and easy.  She is an immature clown, a public embarrassment, but all too typical of a political party that is increasingly petty and childlike.  Roosevelt, Truman, and Kennedy would never recognize their party today. 

The sad fact is, though, that elements of the media will elevate this brat to iconic status, and that is a danger to us all.
