“Cotton got so mad he started talking about himself in the third person.
“Mr. Cotton says the chairman needs to rethink his decision,” said Cotton, as his name came up in the roll call. “That’s what Mr. Cotton says.””
Lmao imagine getting you mad about the same tactics you supported, that you refer to yourself in the 3rd person.
I think from that point on I would refuse to call him any thing other than Mr Cotton, and always in a drawn out child-story like way.
Mr. Cotton: "How dare you use Mr. Cotton's dirty tricks against Mr. Cotton!"
Mr Cotton is getting upset!
I can't. It seems like an oddly specific trait of his.
Trump does it too.
Hm, didn't know it.
Googled it and it seems like not precise, just a sliiiiight marker they can be narcissists. Not convincing at all. Being a politician and with GOP tho...
Bob Dole used to do it. Back when he was alive, I mean.
George is getting upset!
Doesn't donnie do that all the time?
Though I wonder if he does it from habit due to all those years pretending to be John Barron, etc...
To be fair, you'd get a bit confused if you killed fiddy men too.
Cotton's pronouns are Cotton and Cotton. I wonder how Teddy feels about that.
