One of my favorite moments as a Twitchy editor was writing about Rep. Eric Swalwell farting on national television. I know, it's not something most people would brag about, and it certainly won't win any Pulitzers HOWEVER, I haven't laughed so hard while doing my job (or any job for that matter) in a really long time. What made it even funnier was how quickly they tried to pretend it was something else, I believe they said it was a coffee mug sliding on the desk. At the time I kept thinking to myself, 'This can't be a real job, they can't actually be paying me to write about a guy farting on national television ... and making fun of him for doing it.'
But it was my job.
And is, thank God. My job is wonderful, you guys. Oh, I whine and complain about the cesspool that Twitter is and always has been (I did read through a lot of horrible and terrible every day) BUT I never take for granted how lucky I am to do what I do.
All of this being sad, I've lost the joy of covering Eric Swalwell over the years ...
Seriously, the man can only say and do so many stupid things for me to write about and mock him for before it gets boring, even for me. So I know if I'M bored writing about him being a brain-dead doorknob of a human being, you guys must get sick of reading about him. Case in point, I thought about writing this today because once again, Swallwell said something stupid and is pushing a lie that he knows damn well is a lie.
#BREAKING Trump will round up and deport LEGAL immigrants. No one is safe. If you are not white you may be gone. Tell your family members to be ready. https://t.co/HfUhlFwSkv

Clearly if you listen to Lindsey, he does not say LEGAL.
Eric knows this.
Eric likely knows we know he knows this.
He just doesn't care because he's a toad.
See, two years ago I would have written about that post and made fun of him in clever, CAPITALIZED ways that made me laugh. Now I just see his posts and roll my eyes ...
Of course, if the lying, annoying troll farts on national television again (and hey, I wouldn't put it past him) I will DEFINITELY take joy in writing about that. We can only hope.
