Yes, we all had a lot of fun reacting to the speech Utah’s Mike Lee gave on the floor of the U.S. Senate almost two weeks ago. He deserved every punch line and exasperated expression.
In the the remarkably goofy speech Lee delivered in a vain effort to discredit the Green New Deal plan offered by congressional Democrats, Lee charged, falsely, that the plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions would mean no airplanes and no modern ocean-going ships.
So, with appropriate visual aids, Lee posited a future where Hawaiians would have to ride giant seahorses (like 1960s Aquaman) and Alaskans would only be able to get around on Tauntauns (a la Luke Skywalker in “The Empire Strikes Back").
