Leftist media would not be Leftist media without writing some puff-piece propaganda about Pete Buttigieg every once in a while. WIRED went really far out of its way to make Pete look competent and refreshing but the responses to the piece are hilarious and get to the truth of the matter.
None of us, including those of us who follow politics really close can name another ‘Secretary of Transportation’ because if they are doing their jobs we never hear about them, however MANY people know about Buttigieg and it is NOT because he is a ‘remarkable blend of intellect and empathy’ it is because he is incompetent at the job.
With a remarkable blend of intellect and empathy, Pete Buttigieg brings a fresh perspective to the forefront of public discourse. https://t.co/mzbXgnvkSv

Buttigieg brings a fresh perspective to the job. did they really say that? What perspective would that be? Leave me alone, I need a vacation, do not bother me with pesky transportation issues like train derailments! Good grief. The nerve of these people.
We are going to get into some of the best responses but being the awesome people we at Twitchy are, we are going to start out with a person who LIKES the piece. Give us a gold star, please 🙂
Fantastic article touching on a huge range of topics- from spirituality to the problems with neoliberalism.
I challenge the inevitable trolls and naysayers in this comment thread to actually read the interview.

OK. Two things:
1. You do not need to read the article, we did that for you and we promise it is not worth your time.
2. We prefer the term comic geniuses to trolls and naysayers. Thank you very much!
Of course, they had some responses. This was our favorite.
Does the article chronicle his endless string of failures and disasters and his complete lack of any qualifications for his job?
No?
Then it's not worth reading.

The article does NOT include his complete failure at his job and we agree, not worth the time to read when you can be reading this piece making fun of it instead!

HA! We liked the ‘fixed’ version better.
Is this real or parody pic.twitter.com/zqQdNAP0Il

We have to ask ourselves the real or parody question almost every day in this job but this one is real. At least we thought it was real until we saw this next response and now we admit, we might have questions. 😉
Which AI wrote this? https://t.co/s0zFhmjNDm

LOL! Look, it is not an unreasonable question given the Leftist bias found in some of the latest AI programming. We are going to assume a real Leftist loving professional wrote that piece because the sucking up seems to be genuine. *giggles*
Cringe level midnight
— Keri Lynn (@kerilynnNY) May 18, 2023
The cringe level is extreme! Again, that is why we think it was NOT written by an AI. haha
Weird flex. He’s probably been the worst Secretary of Transportation in history.
— Check Mark Prime (@PrimeCheckMark) May 18, 2023
WORST in history may be too kind for Pete Buttigieg’s job performance.
This isn’t an article, it’s a fawning hagiography
— Enguerrand VII de Coucy (@ingelramdecoucy) May 18, 2023
We literally looked like that gif of the girl who spits her drink from laughing when we saw this. Just in case somebody is not familiar, hagiography is a biography that idealizes the subject’s life.
The comments about the cover photo on the piece were fantastic too!
Is he being attacked by ghosts?
— Anthony Pafford (@pafford) May 18, 2023
It is either ghosts or we are all on drugs.
This is actually what he looks like to the people of eastern Ohio after drinking the water
— Coach Harry Ellis (@Jetspete) May 18, 2023
OUCH! We are not trying to make fun of the tragedy, but that one hit Buttigieg pretty hard so we laughed and we give you permission to laugh too. It is ok to laugh even when it is a hard-hitter.

BRAVO! That IS perfection. If only Buttigieg could do his job as well as that Twitter user picked a gif!
