Larry the Cable Guy tore into Democrat Rep. Rosa DeLauro (CT) following her unhinged rant about House Republicans supposedly being “scared” of Elon Musk.
Let me repeat that. The guy who plays Mater — you know, like “tuh-mater,” but without the “tuh” — is trying to break down simple concepts regarding congressional spending to a sitting congresswoman.

Now, don’t get me wrong. Larry is a bright guy who created a brilliant character in the world of comedy. But DeLauro, as a Representative of the people, is supposed to be one of our best and brightest.
Instead, we get this.
I’m sure Ms. DeLauro, who represents the fine state of Connecticut, is just doing what any good Democrat foot soldier has been doing the past few days. They got the memo to try and taunt President-elect Trump by declaring Musk as the real leader, and they’re going at it full bore.
She claimed GOP representatives “agreed on a bill,” but “You know what? They got scared because President Musk told them, President Musk said don’t do it.”
To recap, what you’re looking at above is a sitting congresswoman with purple hair ranting like some sort of coked-up violet-backed starling, suggesting her colleagues are too scared to pass a bill that there is a 0% chance she read.
C onnecticut — specifically the 3rd District — this is the best you have to offer?

Larry the Cable Guy, real name Daniel Whitney, often shies away from politics due to the toxicity level of the unhinged on social media but has been openly suggesting on X that both political parties need to break the resolution down into standalone bills.
He furthered that argument by addressing DeLauro’s “lunatic behavior.”
“These are our best and brightest. Sheeesh. Why doesn’t Grandma purple hair and all the D’s and R’s draft stand alone bills?” Mr. Cable Guy wondered. “Hmm.. then they get pissed at Musk for providing a platform where taxpayers get to see the shenanigans in real time.”
“I have a feeling punk rock retiree here is more upset they no longer have control of what Americans get to see.”
LOL. Punk rock retiree. I don’t care who you are; that’s funny right there.
Also, bingo. Rep. DeLauro is the same person who advocated and celebrated Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg for his plan to invest in female crash test dummies, something she claims is an important step to fight “gender inequity.”

Female crash test dummies do have some merit, but the price tag of those puppies was $20 million. Not to mention, the party that doesn’t know what a woman is suddenly wants their crash test dummies to be anatomically correct.

And therein lies the problem. The American people are told all too often that we must keep the government open or seniors and children will die. That we must pass the bill and find out what’s in it later.
With X now being the leading source of real-time media and information, lawmakers no longer have that luxury. Musk was firing off examples of waste on par with $20 million crash test dummies in this CR (continuing resolution), and the people weren’t having it. Members of Congress, as a result, revolted.
But Larry’s idea remains solid. He first broached the topic of standalone bills in a very early morning post on X Thursday.
“I got an idea. Why not just vote on 1 bill at a time and stop attaching things nobody wants to pay for? It’s our money!” he wrote. “How is this difficult?”

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), an extremely fiscal conservative, seemingly concurs.
“This isn’t complicated. Separate the bills and vote on them individually,” he wrote on X. “One vote on the clean CR. One vote on the debt limit. One vote on disaster relief. One vote on farm bailouts.”
“Radical, right? Individual bills for each issue.”
So radical that a comedian who starred in a movie called “Witless Protection” has to explain it slowly for members of Congress to understand.
Git-r-done, Larry.
