the mom who

This is so. weird.

The gun, first of all, but by no means last. The nail polish. The wedding ring. The 45 cap. The…crotch. I didn’t notice at first but the camera is zeroed in on her crotch, and she’s all but pointing at it.

Is it just me or is that some bizarre semiotics?

    I mean … It’s not like she needed to tell Beto anything about not taking guns. That nonsense about taking people’s AR-15s was an empty bit of campaign rhetoric.

    Anyway, I think the framing is supposed to be, like, Powerful Sexy Dangerous or something. Given the “the mom who” bit, I suppose we can add Fecund.

    Not to be confused with Lorena Bobbitt. Hard to do so, but not impossible.

    Framing the gun, the wedding ring, the hat…and that strange yellow plaid…thing behind her?

    That’s the exact same thing I said to my husband the other night.
