Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) is a National Treasure.

"That doesn't belong in out country," He said. "It belongs in a country who's Powerball jackpot is 287 chickens and a goat."

Thank you Senator. I hope you're happy because for the next two weeks every time I close my eyes I am going to have a mental picture of Hakeem Jeffries in peasant clothes, a sombrero, a Powerball winner's smile hearding 287 and a goat back to a mud hut.

John Kennedy is a National Treasure.

Someone suggested that Kennedy writes this stuff down in advance. He doesn't. He speaks slowly and you can see the gears in his mind clicking away as he talks and occasionally takes a break for a second or two. 

He makes it up as he goes along. I dearly wish I had that talent.
