There was a brief moment a couple of weeks ago when I thought JD Vance might be smart. It was when I heard he had somehow transformed a couch into a sexual partner. That seemed like American ingenuity at its finest.
Alas, that story turned out to be a hoax—which forced me to consider another possibility. Maybe Vance was exactly what he appeared to be: a massive idiot. There was abundant evidence to support this conclusion.
