Jim Jordan runs out of things to not do
"Might as well run for the Senate. That'll keep me busy."
Jim Jordan is bored.
The do-nothing House Rep is known for having done nothing since joining the House. It is expected of him and he relishes his role. But he’s getting bored.
I chatted with him recently about his ennui.
“You know Tom, you can only do nothing for so long until it becomes boring. Matt Gaetz does absolutely nothing but he’s got Three Names to keep him busy. They're friends - they go on shit disturbing tours together - keeps them busy. They both are do-nothings but seem to enjoy the boredom - conjuring up nonsense to complain about. I have no friends.
“And I’m not that bright. I’m not creative at all. I can’t keep dreaming up nonsense to protest. Or making false accusations. And it’s trivial shit the House deals with. That’s why I just make up issues. First thing that comes to my mind I blurt out. I have to. Ideas don’t stay with me for long. That’s why I talk so fast. I never know what I’ve said until I read it in the news the next day.
“Our base isn’t that bright - most are functionally illiterate. So they’ll eat up any shit we throw out there. But these days I’m empty. Got nothing.
“So I’m thinking maybe I should take a run at the Senate. Lots for me not to do there. I’m getting so bored in the House. Most of our members just blurt out nonsense too. Nothing to watch in the House either.
“There’ll be lots to watch in the Senate. I like to watch.”
