GET A ROOM ALREADY!
My Theory on Why Mike Pence Kisses Donald Trump’s, uh, Ring So Fulsomely
Ryan was bad, Hatch was worse, but Pence…OMG, it was embarrassing to watch. What is up with that?

By now, you’ve seen the adoration heaped upon President Donald Trump by members of his team and congressional leaders on Wednesday.
House Speaker Paul Ryan praised his “exquisite leadership, “and Senator Orrin Hatch declared that “one of the great privileges of my life [is] to stand here on the White House lawn with the president of the United States who I love and appreciate so much.” But nobody came close to reaching the level of obsequiousness that Vice President Mike Pence has mastered.
Upon viewing the tape, the most common response, once the gag reflex was suppressed, was to say “get a room!”
Seriously, it was so bad that Seth Meyers mocked it by comparing it to the scene from the movie Love Actually, where a would-be suitor shows up at a door with cue cards reading, “To me, you are perfect.”
This wasn’t an exaggeration. According to The Washington Post, “Pence offered 14 separate commendations for Trump in less than three minutes—math that works out to one every 12.5 seconds. And each bit of praise was addressed directly to Trump, who was seated directly across the table.” All the while, Trump sat there, chin held high like Il Duce. Dictionary.com seized the opportunity to teach us all what the word “sycophant” means. (“There’s a word for a person who would praise someone every 12 seconds.”)
To be sure, passing tax reform was a big accomplishment, and there’s nothing wrong with giving credit where it’s due, but at some point appreciation crosses the line and becomes adulation. Nobody knows quite where the line gets crossed, but like pornography, you know it when you see it.
