The constantly attention-seeking, beard-"dating" Senator Spartacus did a talking filibuster for some reason, shouting -- get this -- Orange Man Bad and also -- get this -- turning on the fake tears to show how much Passion and Fight he has.
Most people who saw clips of this had the same thought: "Vin Diesel is really porking out. And he's a lot gayer than he seems in the Fast and Furious movies."
Lefties are calling this obvious low-effort stunt to position himself for another failed run in 2028 heroic and inspiring.
I swear to God, it's so condescending to praise black people so extravagantly for stupid shit like tying their shoes.
Thus far, it has been a gloomy 2025 for the late night comedy shows as they have attacked Democrats from the left for not doing anything to stop Republicans, but on Wednesday, a trio of them claimed to have reason for optimism as they reacted to Sen. Cory Booker's 25-hour talk. Some suggested he get an award, while others claimed he spoke for all of America, while others tried their hand at media criticism, arguing the media hasn't praised Booker enough.
CBS's Stephen Colbert teed up a clip on The Late Show of the final moments of Booker's speech where he compared himself to the Civil Rights Movement, "There were many great moments, but Booker saved, I think, the best for last."
After the clip and audience cheers, Colbert declared he was such a fan that he invited Booker on the show, "Yes, sir. That was beautiful. Give that man an award, eventually. First give him a toilet and a bed and a cauliflower steak or whatever he calls food. And I'm happy to say Cory Booker will be my guest on Monday right over there to talk about what is going on in the Senate, what is going on in America, and what can be done."
Over at NBC and Late Night, host Seth Meyers welcomed MSNBC's Rachel Maddow and recalled, "Cory Booker, last night, did speak for 25 hours and then went straight on your show before declaring, "I did think, you know, as for what it accomplishes, I don't know, but it did, at least, say, I think, to, you know, his voters 'Look, I do still have some energy for this fight.'"
Well, that certainly is a high compliment. "I don't know what he did but I guess he did something!"
[Maddow] claimed, "Senator Booker said his constituents told him, 'Take risks, do something you don't think you can do, you need to show people that this not normal times and it is worth doing everything we can' and he did."
"Everything we can do" = blabbing in an air conditioned room for twenty hours
Noted Couch-Surfing Liberal Agent Frank Luntz was just tickled pink in his heiney-hole.
Frank Luntz: Booker marathon speech 'may have changed the course of political history'
I mean...
Longtime GOP pollster Frank Luntz said Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) "may have changed the course of political history" with his marathon speech breaking the Senate's record for the longest floor speech in its history.
"I want to emphasize what Cory Booker did over the last 24 hours may have changed the course of political history. I watched a lot of it. I listened to words. I listened to phrases," Luntz said during a Tuesday evening appearance on NewsNation's "On Balance."
Wow. Corey Booker talked for a long time, which changed the course of history, and Frank Luntz did his part, too! "I listened to words. I listened to phrases."
Frank Luntz is doing Everything He Can to Fight Fascism, too!
He confirmed that Booker's unprecedented feat "struck a tone" with Americans in the midst of the Trump administration's controversial policies.
"He struck the kind of tone that grassroots Democrats are looking for. He gave them a reason to fight. He gave them a reason to stand up and say, this is my country too," Luntz told anchor Leland Vittert.
...
"That speech puts Cory Booker as one of the leaders for the Democratic Party for 2028," Luntz said.
Yup, he just has to find another LGBQT+ supporting woman to pose as his girlfriend and he's all set.
Meanwhile, Jake Tapper says that it's okay to attack Elon Musk for using his money to influence politics, but it's not okay to attack George Soros, because Musk stands in the arena and announces his positions while the Billionaire Gollum George Soros slinks in the shadows working his influence ops.
Tapper is a longtime defender of Soros, and routinely attacks people as "antisemitic" for pointing out that a foreign-born communist billionaire who once bankrupted the United Kingdom is currently using his billions to push America towards full-blown Sovietism.
You see, it's an "antisemitic trope" to object to a Jewish (by the way, Soros is not Jewish and only claims to be now in order to get his defenders to attack his critics as anti-Jewish) billionaire, but it's totally okay to attack non-Jewish billionaires.
Because We Said So, Peons. Know your place.
