“Senator Beauregard Claghorn” reminds me of Senator John Kennedy (R-Louisiana), who is no fool, but is happy playing one to entertain his supporters.

There is no indication that Kennedy isn't a fool. An Ivy League education only means that one was able to meet the requirements to enroll.

There have been thousands of legacies that had no business being accepted into colleges across the US. And others, like Jared Kushner whose daddy paid several million so he could attend.

He was also a Rhodes Scholar. They don't give those out lightly. He's a deeply cynical man, playing the rubes, and sometimes playing A rube, in search of power.

Good call on Kennedy! He definitely poured on his Southern accent when he decided that certain members of Congress needed him to read bedtime stories of pornography.

Louisiana chiming in to say that yes, many of us call him Foghorn Leghorn! Such a disgrace.
