Scumbag of the Week Award

Cosmos’s Scumbag of the Week Award, 

For the first scumbag,
Of the week award
We had two worthy contenders.

The runner up is 

Is the congressional representative,
Who felt he would send out 
A friendly message 
Of peace and goodwill 
During the Christmas season,

He had his whole family
Standing by a Christmas tree
Carrying military assault weapons

With the caption,

“Santa, please send more amo”.

Santa should send the family
A note

": For your display of Christmas naughtiness,
I am donating ten thousand dollars
from your bank account, 
In your name for each victim 
Of gun violence this year,

200 thousand dollars
Thank you for your generous donation,"

The Republican congressional 
representative from Kentucky
Did not apologize for the lame 
Extremely tasteless and offensive

Not even saying
That it was just a lame
An attempt at a joke.

Tweeting that he had stirred up 
A hornets' nest
But it was good 

To see the leftist so upset
And he would do it again
Saw nothing wrong with it.

Yet another Christian
Who shows his adherence
To Christian values,
By violating everything,
Christ stood for.

Not doing what Jesus 
Would have done.

And did it just
Before Christmas
right after a horrific
shocking shooting 
at a school.

Until next time,
When we will award 
Another scumbag 
Of the week award.

Wow! I couldn't have said it better, jake, and my sentiments exactly. Unfortunately, I live rather close to this scumbag, and the stench constantly rises in my nostrils!
