Do you have to ask?

[NNadir]

From the Colorado Sun, Mike Littwin:

Do we know who Lauren Boebert is? Do you really have to ask?

My favorite parts:

...Depravity might be a little strong for the Beetlejuice Incident. But according to new security video shown by TMZ, there was pretty clear evidence of what some would call public indecency — including Boebert and her date doing some very public canoodling and more during an otherwise PG musical. You could see from the video kids sitting in the row behind Boebert.

The New York Times called it “touching and carrying on.” The New York Daily News called it “groping.” I wonder how the drag queens she likes to demonize would describe it. You think they might call it “grooming”?

For our purposes, we can just call her night at the theater a series of crimes against ordinary human behavior...

...Let’s face it, if someone had asked you which Colorado politician had been kicked out of a touring Broadway musical in Denver for vaping, talking, singing, fondling, recording the show on her not-so-smartphone, taking selfies with a flash, flipping off a theater employee, insulting a theater patron and then lying about the extent of her obnoxious conduct, would you need more than one guess?

Of course not. This is so Boebert that it’s, well, Boebertian. As I was headed to a show the other night, I told my companion we wanted to be sure not to be Boeberted. A dictionary entry surely awaits — as does, almost certainly, more rounds of, uh, qualifying behavior.

As you might have noticed, the online jokes — not all of them tasteful or, for that matter, funny — are everywhere. There are even more serious comments, at least one of which suggests Boebert’s in-theater behavior reflects a general decline in societal norms. I’m more inclined to see it as a general decline in MAGA-aligned congresspeople norms...

I'm enjoying the pile on.

1. Excellent

Rec

[Blue Owl]

2. We have a new term of definition: Boebertian!

As in “Public indecency of Boebertian proportions….”

[malaise]

7. Lots of new terms and names

Boebertian is good

[PJMcK]

11. Agreed but I have a question

How does one pronounce it?

I said, “Bo-ber-tee-an.”

My wife said, “Bo-ber-shun.”

Inquiring minds need to know!

(wink)

[malaise]

14. I'll let you Americans inform me on this one

Now when do we use it.

She rises in the House to tell AOC about decorum.
AOC - that’s ahem Boebertian Gropebert.

[Hekate]

25. I would say Bo-ber-tee-an, just to make clear it refers Bobo

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

58. I can't repeat what I think the pronunciation needs to be

nt

[AnotherMother4Peace]

29. Boeporn is a good descriptor. He was squeezing/rubbing her half exposed breasts. She was playing w/h

w/his penis. They were starting to get hot & heavy before they were so "rudely" interrupted. Looked like a porn flick to me.

[malaise]

31. Nice

😀.

[homegirl]

38. The well known

GOP Family Values!!!

Being groped and groping her companion (date)! I thought she was married, Wasn't her last Christmas card a family photo displaying their rifles?

[Blue Owl]

41. And all along we thought her ex-hubby Jayson was the pervert...

(Not to excuse his junk flashing episode(s) — but my oh my didn’t Lauren put on quite a show of her own!!!!

[homegirl]

52. Any guesses

on how she will top this event?

[Alliepoo]

3. Yep-

What Mr. Littwin said.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. A great big fat K&R! ♥ nt

[Irish_Dem]

5. I didn't realize there were children in the row right behind Boebert.

For god's sake.

[niyad]

10. Children and a pregnant woman who asked gropebert to stop vaping.

[Irish_Dem]

15. I knew about the pregnant woman who wanted her to stop smoking.

But not the kids. What the hell is wrong with Boebert.

Thanks for the info!

[niyad]

16. You are most welcome.

[inthewind21]

50. This is

surprising? Coming from the howler monkey heckling the POTUS at the state of the union from the house floor?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

44. Haven't heard a peep from Repukes about her attack on an unborn baby.

The pregnant woman was trying to protect her fetus; Boob-ert was callously endangering it.

[Eliot Rosewater]

6. I wish I didnt fully believe that she will either win reelection or almost win, proving

just how deplorable cons are.

[NNadir]

8. My biggest worry is that she'll lose the Republican primary.

Frisch almost got her "outta there."

He might have a harder time against someone else.

[Eliot Rosewater]

36. Never thought about that

[Irish_Dem]

17. Yep. We are going to find out the moral character/citizenship of the voters in her district.

Not holding my breath either.

[inthewind21]

51. Going

to find out? She was just re-elected.

[Irish_Dem]

53. Yea we already know their character

Sad to say we know it all to well

[liberalla]

9. I'm enjoying it too!

(the pile on)
So well deserved and long overdue!

[The Polack MSgt]

12. Absolutely.

[flashman13]

13. I do like your termonology of, "a series of crimes against ordinary human behavior..."

I'm sure Ms. Boebert and friend were guilty of numerous low (wink ...wink) crimes. As far as that goes, who cares? Those two aren't worth wasting the public's money by arresting them. That's not the point. The point is that public assholery such as that, victimizes everyone involved including us third party voyeurs. The rest of the audience went to the theater to relax and enjoy a play. The Boebertery ruined the evening for all. She displays zero respect for any of the people that she encounters.

We expect gross behavior from five year olds. Most will outgrow such behavior. We absolutely have the right to expect that our Congress people live up to the highest standards of civility.

[Cha]

18. Wow.. Excellent! Bookmarking.. TY &

Mike Littwin!! 😎

[Cha]

19. Another Snippet..

Just ask Joe Biden, whom she infamously heckled at the State of the Union as he talked about American servicemen dying. Rep. Jason Crow called that incident an example of Boebert’s “depravity.”

Yay for the Colorado Sun in Denver, too! 💙

[Skittles]

20. she is disgusting in so many ways

Last edited Sun Sep 17, 2023, 09:17 PM - Edit history (1)

the people who vote for her disgust me too

[PJMcK]

22. A Trumper told me he thinks she's hot

I laughed in his face and said that I was confident he actually had better taste in women.

[rubbersole]

21. 🍿+🧈+🧂+🍺

Boberting - when watching the RW defend this hypocritical tramp.

[Warpy]

23. I just call it tacky

and since she was annoying the hell out of other paying patrons, bouncing her out of the theater was the appropriate thing to do.

This sort of thing has been going on since Limbaugh went national with his radio show. Most of us stopped inviting Republicans over because we were tired of having them yell Limbaugh quotes, shouting down normal conversations, and being pains in the butt. The behavior has just continued to deteriorate, being as offensive as possible "to make libruls cry" is their duty.

I'm cheered by the fact that the other theater patrons knew how to act.

[LisaM]

24. There IS a decline in behavior at theatres.

It's a big topic in the theatre world. Not just phones, but talking and singing along (and I guess, now, vaping and groping). The last show I went to ("Six" ) the youngish audience screamed through portions of the songs as if they were at a Taylor Swift concert.

Does it surprise me that Boebert epitomizes this? Nope.

[NNadir]

26. Happily I haven't noticed that. I haven't gone to Broadway in many years...

...but the NJ theaters I frequent, the McCarter, the NJ State Theater, and Bucks County (PA) generally have audiences that behave well.

I can't say I've ever seen anything like Bobo ever in a theater.

[malaise]

32. There is a decline is basic manners and human decency

And not just in the USA. Apparently civility is woke

[AllaN01Bear]

27. if i remember isnt that called indicent exposure and lewed conduct?

moral majority. either and neither according to my late mom. they can get away with anything , but, if ur a dem , omg.

[bagimin]

28. She is just trying to make MTG

seem sane by comparison.

[SpankMe]

30. This calls for censure or expulsion

US Constitution, Article I, Section 5: "Each House may determine the Rules of its proceedings, punish its members for disorderly behavior, and, with the concurrence of two-thirds, expel a member."

I know it'll never happen. After all, they didn't do much for George Santos' behavior. But a boy can dream...

[EarnestPutz]

33. "It'll never happen" let alone even a modest condemnation from the Repubs, or,.....

......(as long as we are dreaming) that she resigns in well-deserved disgrace. One can only wonder what Al Franken must be thinking.

[Martin68]

34. I resent the fact that so often the conclusion is "a general decline in societal norms" or "a

dysfunctional Congress." This OP got it right with " a general decline in MAGA-aligned congresspeople norms..." Let's face it. Republicans are ruining this country with their uncivil discourse rude and violent behavior, and a total disregard for the rule of law and Constitutional principles.

[NNadir]

35. Really, that's an excellent point, one that should be made more often.

[niyad]

46. Exactly.

[Talitha]

37. Ah yes, Lauren Boebert - - 'Our Lady of High Standards'

[keithbvadu2]

39. Is a drag show as explicit as republican Christian Congresswoman Boebert's public show?

[DemocraticPatriot]

42. Possibly not...

[niyad]

47. Certainly not any of the ones that I have atttended. Nor was "To Wong Fu".

[DemocraticPatriot]

40. Lauren deserves ALL of the words which

we may be discouraged or forbidden to use on this site, and on some bigger sites...


She is a trashy little wench.... even if she IS a woman....


"Now the chickens have come home to roost" or something like that...

[Hermit-The-Prog]

43. Don't Boob-ert in the theatre.

[Roy Rolling]

45. Am I too late?

Do I need an Antifa membership card to pile-on?

[niyad]

48. Your DU membership covers all bases.

[LittleGirl]

56. LoL nt

[Trueblue Texan]

49. Yeah...the rules, nor the laws were written for MAGA.

They do what they want to do, laws and societal norms be damned. They may need to lie about it later...you know? So much inconvenience. If only the rest of society understood MAGA, and especially the ULTRA MAGA, like Boebert, are exempt from the rules. People just need to get over it!

[SYFROYH]

54. I'm all for dog piling on Boebert, but dark theatre canoodling is nothing new.

The old bag of popcorn trick is good old-fashioned fun.

[Demobrat]

55. If you're fifteen.

Grown-ass adults have homes to go back to to do their thing.

[BobTheSubgenius]

57. Likewise, I am enjoying it!

The pile could never be too big for me.
