Speaking in tongues?
Reverend Samuel Rodriguez, a Puerto Rico born evangelical pastor, is undergoing hours-long surgery to untie his tongue. This is not a case of tongue-tied in the sense of being rendered silent, but a more severe manifestation of the malady symptomatic of abusing the truth. “This is easily the worst case of bullshit-induced tongue knots I have ever seen,” lamented Dr. Oral B. Lipschitz, America’s leading ENT medical professional and TV personality.
During an interview conducted by Geoff Bennett on the PBS News Hour, the reverend was shown his previous remarks from a previous interview on the PBS News Hour, during which he emphatically promised that 47’s immigration policies would only target hardened undocumented criminals. When asked to comment on his assertions considering recent immigration actions targeting U.S. citizens, his eyes rolled back as he began to speak in tongues…until he couldn’t.
One knot for every lie. An extension of the Pinocchio Principle.
Could Dr Oral Lipschitz do a group deal for the Cabinet Secretaries and their Dear Leader, tying their tongues so that we don’t have to listen to them? Surely there’s a tie-up procedure as well.
