Blogpost # M. 228  THE “LEGGIE” AWARDS

At appropriate times of the year, the American public is informed of the results of the determined winners of its ubiquitous artistic competitions, such as film ( “the Oscars), actors and film producers of international film and television (“Golden Globe Awards”), and for excellence in television (The Emmy’s). We at plinyblog.com, have also construed a rewards program, (“The Leggies”) dedicated to the judgmental recognition of the quality of the legislative performance, including, the Senate, and the House of Representatives. Additionally, it should be noted that there are distinct and material differences, between ” The Leggies” and the stereotypical awards set forth above.

The distinctive features of the ” LEGGIES” consist of the following: (1) they involve several trophies (as opposed to a singular prize), (2) the respective trophies, are awarded to members of Congress who have distinguished themselves in two disparate categories: ” Esteemed” and “Reprehensible.” It should be noted that the following caveats are contextually applicable to both: (a) each category represents but a small, but appropriately representative number of designated winners, (b) the trophies, or awards, differ, depending upon the particular category of qualitative achievement, and, (3) the recognized performances are of longstanding of duration, as contrasted with the usual competitions which feature a singular and notable performance.

To ensure precise accuracy and objectivity, the winners, categorized and listed below, represent the consensus of the entire plinyblog organization, authors, the editing department, production, and distribution, and the blog post’s exacting technical department.

The trophy prizes, for the winners in the two, respective categories of competition, as adjudged by the above described, diverse, democratic, and highly proficient adjudicators are: (1) for the laudatory, “Esteemed” category, a polished oak judicial gavel with their initials embossed in gold and copy of the original draft of the U.S, Constitution; and (2) for the winners in the “Reprehensible” category, official color photos of Elon Musk and Marjorie Taylor Greene waltzing in the Oval Office for the smiling Donald Trump, while the latter is busily engaged in chewing on a ketchup dripping ” Big Mac,” while seated in front of an official White House portrait of Abraham Lincoln.\ As an extra bonus, each of the photos is authentically autographed by Vladimir Putin,

After much consideration and healthy debate, the SENATORIAL “LEGGIES” are awarded as follows: “

“Esteemed:” Senators, Dick Durbin, Elizabeth Warren, Sheldon Whitehouse, Cory Booker, Marc Warner, Richard Blumenthal, and Amy KlobucharJohn Garamonde,.

“Reprehensible:” Ted Cruz, Charles Grassley, John Kennedy, Tom Cotton, Josh Howley, Rand Paul and Marsha Blackburn.

THE HOUSE/REPRESENTATIVE “LEGGIES:

“Esteemed:” Jaime Raskin, Tom Suozzi, Gerry Connolly, Jim Clyburn, Alexandra Cortez, Gerry Connolly, John Garamonde and Zoe Lundgren.

“Reprehensible:” Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Green, Jim Jordan, Darrell Issa, Mike Johnson and Steve Scalese.

There were a plethora of other deserving winners, however, we ran out of trophies. We hope to be inclusive in the future.
