Not one single tear for Elise Stefanik

Over the weekend, news broke that New York’s Congressional representative Elise Stefanik is dropping her run for Governor of New York. She’s also not returning to Congress when her term ends, claiming the desire to spend more time with her family.

And with that … hopefully … New York’s elected cancer may finally go away.

I have no beneficial use for Elise Stefanik. She went from being a moderate Republican to full-blown MAGA the moment it suited her needs. And I don’t want to call her thin-skinned, but onions have thicker skin than Elise Stefanik. All it took was one satirical blog post in the Times Union, and Stefanik stomped her cloven hoof so much that the TU shut down the ENTIRE blogfarm.

My disgust for Elise Stefanik’s politics and prosletyzing grew to the point that when I needed surgery, I actually named the infected, diseased part of my body after her.

And upon hearing that she planned to run for Governor of New York … ugh. I mean, Kathy Hochul’s no prize, but the only thing I ever need to worry about her is when she plans on moving the state capital to Buffalo. Stefanik in office would do whatever her orange lord and master would command.

Well … apparently something happened. Whether it was polling records that showed Stefanik polling three points lower than “NONE OF THE ABOVE,” or the various protests that organically appeared at her recent rallies or events …

Maybe she got the message.

Maybe.

But for all intents and purposes, as far as I’m concerned, I hope that the message is that we never see Elise Stefanik in political office ever again. I don’t care what she does after this – register as a lobbyist, get a Fox News opinion hour, dress up on The Masked Singer – I don’t care.

Just so long as I never have to type the words “Elise Stefanik” ever again.

Or even the anagram of her name – “Sneakiest Life.”

Yeah, you saw what I did there.
