FUNNY or FUNNIEST headline in NYT history? You make the call... BONUS: A Mueller prayer candle gets a mention

Now, THIS is a hilarious headline from the New York Times:

But wait, THERE’S MORE! Check out the opening graph. Libs are in mourning over the good news for the country:

The sense of mourning started to take hold over the weekend, after Attorney General William P. Barr said that Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel, had not found coordination between President Trump’s campaign and the Russian government’s election interference in 2016.

And if a “sense of mourning” wasn’t bad enough, they feel betrayed and disappointed, too:

Over the nearly two years of the Mueller investigation, a segment of liberals and activists built up fervent hopes that it would bring Mr. Trump down. They elevated Mr. Mueller, a former F.B.I. director, into an anti-Trump cultural icon, complete with T-shirts, scented candles and holiday-themed songs like “We Wish You a Mueller Christmas.”

For some of them, the report felt like a betrayal. To many others, it was a disappointment.

These morons were literally cheering for a president to have colluded with a foreign power:

“It is definitely embarrassing,” he said. “It’s a drag knowing there are people out there who are gloating.”

Keep hoping, lady!

Jennifer Taub, a Vermont Law School professor who had become known for punchy anti-Trump columns with titles like “Yes, Collusion. Now What?” said, “There are definitely people who thought that Mueller would save us.”

Ms. Taub said she remained hopeful that Mr. Mueller’s full findings, which have not yet been made public, would somehow contradict the summary given by Mr. Barr. But she said she understands that the legal threshold for proving conspiracy is high.

She even lit a Mueller prayer candle:

Last week, she posted a picture of herself on Facebook lighting a candle with Mr. Mueller’s face on it. “I would hope that people who were in this cult of Mueller would have been self-aware or ironic,” she said on Monday.

Classic.
