Republicans Name Joe Manchin Employee of the Month

[Zorro]

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In a big win for the senator from West Virginia, congressional Republicans have named Joe Manchin Employee of the Month for October.

Speaking to reporters at the Capitol, Manchin seemed overwhelmed by the award, saying that he was “humbled and honored.”

“When I work hard to keep benefits out of the hands of poor children, I’m not doing it to win a prize,” he said. “I’m just doing what I love.”

Kyrsten Sinema, the senator from Arizona, sent her congratulations to Manchin after learning that she had been the runner-up for the award.

“I knew it wouldn’t be easy beating a great competitor like Joe,” she said. “Maybe next month.”

1. I knew it was Borowitz! It's so close to the truth that it hurts. n/t

2. Thought maybe it was real,

after all, he's the one actively working on their agenda. The rest of them aren't doing much besides going on TV, internet and radio to fling their own feces.

3. This is an example of funny not being so funny. Manchin acts as if he's on the RNC payroll.

4. Andy Borowitz!!!

This one is ESPECIALLY good.

Even painfully so.

Still hurts every time I remember being fool enough to donate to their campaigns. I will NOT make that mistake again. Thought I was helping the Democratic side. Unfortunately they’re hurting all of us Democrats. Maybe fatally by the next election, I fear.
