And the award goes to …

Inspired by the Emmy Awards, I want to suggest a new, even more timely honors category — the Political Hypocrisy Beyond Belief award, for the most shamelessly compelling political flipflop of the year.

Right now, Sens. Mitch McConnell and Lindsay Graham would be strong contenders for this year’s honor but, should there soon be confirmation hearings for a new Supreme Court justice, we might look forward to even more entertaining performers.

And what a delight it would be to hear the award’s acronym (PHBB) pronounced on the evening news before the winner’s name.
