      Hey, now! Moscow Mitch hates being called Moscow Mitch, so we probably shouldn’t call him Moscow Mitch because the nickname Moscow Mitch might become popular again and that would upset Moscow Mitch on the day that Moscow Mitch announced that he’s stepping down from Moscow Mitch’s leadership role.

    The only thing I’ll miss is that gag they always do on SNL Weekend Update where they show a picture of him smiling and say something like: “Mitch McConnell, shown here watching an orphanage burn down…”

    Gets me every time.

    “I love the Senate,” he said. “It has been my life. There may be more distinguished members of this body throughout our history, but I doubt there are any with more admiration for it.”

    The blatant shamelessness is on-brand.

        And he has such admiration for it that he’s spent those 40 years systematically destroying the principles on which it was founded.

          He is a huge reason for the state of the courts. Which has done an unfortunate amount.

    He will have to float out of the chamber, because walking would require him to let a motion reach the floor.

    To be clear, he’ll still be in the senate, but at least he’ll have less power.
