Hot off the heels of shamelessly heckling Joe Biden during the State of the Union address last week, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) is out in the public square trying out new, equally cringey insults aimed at the president.
She may have wanted to practice a bit more first, though.
Appearing on Fox News, Boebert appeared to overheat and short-circuit as she attempted to get her soundbite out.
“I don’t know who’s running the federal government these days,” she told Fox host Jesse Watters. “Joe Biden or Prince John, uhh… from… uhh… ehh… uhh … Prince John.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“But they’re taxing us into poverty,” she added.

It didn’t take long for “Prince John” to start tending, with many commenters plucking the low-hanging fruit of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene‘s (R-Georgia) recent “gazpacho police” gaffe for combined, comic effect.
Here’s what people are saying:
Prince John and the Gazpacho Police. You dozy bump, you do bring the unintentional humor to the geopolitical table, as it were. @laurenboebert https://t.co/TvQsyjF9fj

Prince John led the Gazpacho police to ram ramparts with space lasers at the Revolutionary War airport.

Prince John didn't escape the Bowling Green Massacre & evade the Gazpacho Police to be disrespected like this.

Lauren Boebert said "I don't know who is running the federal government these days, Joe Biden or Prince John."
A lot of people are mocking her since there is no Prince John, but I believe that Lauren Boebert is being honest that she does not know who runs the federal government.
— Steve Hofstetter (@SteveHofstetter) March 9, 2022
Has anyone dispatched the Gazpacho Police to locate Prince John? ?
— Jo ? (@JoJoFromJerz) March 9, 2022
Boebert later clarified that she was referring to Prince John of Disney’s Robin Hood, a character who taxed the poor.
“For the record, Prince John > Joe Biden,” she tweeted Wednesday morning, along with a cartoon visual aid:

Boebert has been vocal (obnoxiously so, arguably) about the need to increase American fossil fuel production in the wake of banning Russian oil imports. At the State of the Union, she wore a jacket emblazoned with the phrase “drill baby drill.”
And earlier on Tuesday, she tweeted: “Cutting off Russian oil is the right move. Doing so without increasing American energy production is insanity.”
On Monday, executives at some of the world’s biggest oil and gas producers said they’re doing just that, ramping up crude production.
The Biden administration has also initiated talks to potentially ease sanctions on Venezuelan oil, a controversial move given the fact that the country is run by an authoritarian regime.
Boebert appeared to try and burn Biden on this, too, as her first attempt went so well.
“Here’s Biden’s energy policy: Anyone but America,” Boebert said. “OPEC, Venezuela, you name it. If it’s not American energy, Joe doesn’t want it.”
Nailed it.
Covid Hermit
I remember a few years ago, when Republicans started putting bumper stickers on their oversized SUVs that read, “Drill Here. Drill Now. Pay Less.” The truth though would read, “Drill Here…Drill Now…Pay Less in Five Years (Maybe)”.
This whole situation only serves to emphasize why we need to get off fossil fuels NOW. It’s time we stopped propping up oligarchs and tyrants with our insatiable need for oil.

Ok. Put up or shut up troll. Other than a few excusable gaffes (many fewer than Trump uttered, and certainly none of the sadly obvious stupidity and ignorance of trump) lets hear from you certifiable examples of “brain malfunctions”. Trump demonstrated aphasia on a regular basis, and was enough of a dullard to actually brag about “acing” a test used for diagnosing dementia…HE WAS TOO DULL TO EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAY HE WAS BEING TESTED.
You think a man who in the past few days recommended painting Chinese flags on American bombers and sending them to Russia isn’t suffering obvious “brain malfunctions”? Maybe you need that dementia test, child.

She’s dumb, but her quote is no where near as good as some Biden quotes:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident: all men and women are created, by the, you know the, you know the thing.”
“Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.”
“You ever been to a caucus?…No you haven’t. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier.” (this one was to a young, female voter)

That’ll do pig. That’ll do.
The Accidental Polemicist
Or when Biden, with fresh hairplugs, was running for president in 1988, gave a plagiarized speech and had to drop out of the presidential race.
SamB
TAP: Or when Biden said the following about Barack Obama in January 2007:
“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”
The Accidental Polemicist
@SamB That is an all-time classic.
However, I am partial to Barack Obama saying, “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f*ck things up,” regarding his former vice president. Classic.
Kinkslola
Living proof you can’t fix stupid
MarcyMayer
Sam, you’re correct. Anyone with 2 eyes can see the 80-year-old Biden has dementia. Even a majority of Democrats now believe that and think he shouldn’t run in 2024 (Newsweek: “Over Half of Democrats Want Party to Back Alternative to Biden in 2024: Poll”).
The Accidental Polemicist
@ MarcyMayer Sometimes I feel it is bordering on elder abuse.
Eternal.Cowboy
Neither her or Biden’s quotes are as dumb as:
1. Claiming the people voted for Trump over Clinton
2. Claiming a motion filed by John Durham was a report claiming Clinton spied on Trump
3. Claiming the U.S. economy added 6+ million jobs in 2020 before covid it.

I love when the dullards who comprise the right wing proudly demonstrate their lack of understanding and how willingly they regurgitate talking points they are fed.
It has been explained in the real media over and over why prices have spiked as the pandemic appears to resolve. But here is something to think on if your brain actually works: Prices have spiked EVEN BEFORE SUPPLIES GET DRAWN DOWN FURTHER BY A BOYCOTT OR RUSSIAN IMPORTS. What that means (and again, you may lack the ability to understand this as you seek pretty effing dull) is not that the president has allowed prices to rise (since the president has little control over that in a democracy); but that the corporations and traders that right wingers think need to be unregulated are bilking you…and you, stupidly fall for it. So far this year the fossil fuel sector is making higher profits than ever, and all the while letting many thousands of drilling permits go unused but whining incessantly about how they need to drill on our best refuge, recreational and multi-use public lands.
Get. A. Brain!
Mister P
Biden is a decent man who is trying to do a good job in a tough environment. Unlike his predecessor who was not interested in doing a good job. He was only interested in advancing himself.
I get it. All the troll names dislike Biden.
Great. Go away now.
The Accidental Polemicist
Under Trump, the United States became energy-independent for the first time since 1949. The month that Trump left office, one year ago, America was importing zero oil from Saudi Arabia, largely because U.S. oil and gas production had surged. Now we have a president who has to beg the Saudis and Iranians to produce more oil. How humiliating.
ZzBomb
@theaccident
Trump never made America energy independent, we largely were already. We’d be even better off if people like you and Trump didn’t obstruct progress in sustainable energy.
SamB
Zz: No one is stopping research in sustainable energy but at this point it’s still decades away, unfortunately we have no choice but to use oil now and pumping & refining our own will be a much faster solution, even it is it years away still.
GrizzleyMichael
Mister P I agree with you 100 percent. Trump all he did was cheated on his wife, chickened out to walk to the Capital like he said he was going to do. Made fun of a handicapped reporter. He and his family and the people who worked for him and voted for him are brainless morons.
SamB
Grizzley: I know, all Biden ever did was shower n*de with his 12 year old daughter. Hides from the press unless he’s eating ice cream (and they LOVE IT). Called a man “fat” a young woman a “lying dog-faced pony-soldier. His family is noble though and I’m sure Hunter Biden’s magnificent artwork was really worth tens or hundreds of thousands each even though he literally just started so the family could launder money openly. That is a decent man.
Den
We achieved energy independence during the Obama administration. And remain the largest producer of oil in the world, a net exporter. We are also the largest natural gas producer. We have been importing Argentinian oil forever (and I do not recall any of you far right fools complaining about it then), but the country we import the most from is Canada. We import oil, because we need the highest quality…exporting our lesser quality product to other countries.
It is amazing to me the extent to which the right is unable to distinguish what is factual from what they are told to believe or imagine. You folks are mired in magical thinking, like 5 year olds.

Funny though despite your claims to intelligence you seemed to miss the fact that the post you responded to referred specifically to those who voted to Bobert. And in so doing you support his point.
Clearly not all right wingers are dullards, but it can be argued (and supported with facts) that a surprising percentage lack critical thinking skills. In their favor though there is an increasing amount of grumbling coming from the districts of Bobert, Greene, Cawthorn, Gaetz et al as people finally recognize these elected officials have no interest in the needs of their constituents but simply like power and publicity.

You right wingers never have any real criticism to offer, nothing but the fluffy lies and slander that comes off of newsmax, oan and fox. Sad really given how you all long for a new taste of the fecal matter Trump fed you. Now THERE is a politician lacking in intellectual substance and insight. But you are all dazzled by the TV persona he adopted.
One amusing anecdote in the wake of his excoriation of Barr (given Barr’s forthcoming book). Trump said before he was elected, and through most of his tenure in office that he surrounded himself with the best and brightest. But in EVERY case when they angered him he harped on how little he knew them and how lacking in skills they were. The most amusing part is that none of you ever got the joke there, which was entirely on you. You fell for the fiction that trump knew what he was doing, was any sort of judge of character, or even knew the structure and function of our government.

@jt1990 the inbred branches in your family tree are really scowling. Why are you on here if you hate gay ppl? Can’t you find some boring nonsense on a Faux News site to comment on?

I doubt these are all the same person, and Cam undermines his credibility then he insists on it. Given the readership of Queerty, it is reasonable to assume that there would be a few dull right wingers here to provide their inadvertent amusement (their intellectual weakness on display as they think they are “owning the libs’), as well as a few heterosexual trolls who think they are fooling us by playing gay. They have all likely been here under other names, but they are not the same person.

“Prince John isn’t a fictional character in a cartoon. Prince John was the youngest son of Henry II and Elanor of Aquitaine, the first Plantagenet rulers of England. He would become King John of England. It’s ridiculous to compare POTUS with a monarch from the 12th and 13th centuries. King John is my 23rd great grandfather, and even though he wasn’t a very good king, he did sign the magna carte.
