“How big a drunk do you have to be to elect your bartender to Congress?”

From Remembering An American Badass: My Departed Druncle Mac by Ron Hart.  Memories of his recently passed uncle who was a hard drinker.  

During COVID, he got into an argument with a convenience store manager because he would not stand 6 feet from other customers on the “X” painted on the floor. He said he had seen too many “Roadrunner” episodes to fall for that.

His politics were what you might imagine. When Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appeared on TV spewing her socialist rants, he blamed New Yorkers for electing her and went on to ask, “How big a drunk do you have to be to elect your bartender to Congress?”
