“Will someone please tell Bernie Sanders he’s supposed to play the foil, not the spoiler?” –Joe Biden

“Speaking of that, doesn’t The Capitolist have anything better to do than hunt for errors in my sugar baby’s financial disclosures?” –Jake Bergmann

“I hate to change the subject, but thanks for naming me Champ of the Week for my role in calling attention to sex trafficking at the Super Bowl.” –Lt. Gov. Jeannette Nunez

“Just a reminder to Governor DeSantis that I too once renamed Florida’s education standards to avoid fallout from Common Core haters.” –Rick Scott

“Speaking of standards, that Super Bowl halftime show would have been just as good without the crotch shots, stripper poles and assless pants.” –John Stemberger and decent Americans everywhere
“Please tell your readers that John Stemberger would never use the term ‘assless pants’ except to make a very important point about the state of cultural decay in America.” –Scott Plakon
