I’ve been known to begin articles with “Can’t make it up, don’t have to.” This is one of those articles.
Moreover, it’s one most fun articles I’ve written in a while. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is referred to as many things. “Influential political and cultural icon” is not among them. Nonetheless, that’s exactly one of the glowing phrases you’ll find in the forthcoming biography on the 32-year-old erstwhile bartender, hilariously titled: “Take Up Space: The Unprecedented AOC.”

OK, I can run with “unprecedented” —albeit for an entirely different reason — so let us proceed.
Here’s how publish Simon & Shuster describes the book, which has a February 1, 2022 release date.
(Emphasis, mine.)
Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, who was twenty-nine in 2018, was the youngest member to the 118th Congress and youngest female representative in American history.
She is A prominent politician on social mediaWith millions of fans on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, Her use of each platform to express her views, ideas and progressive policies consistently makes her headlines.
Now, through essays and reported stories on AOC’s meteoric rise and impact written by New York’s top-tier writers and commentators […]This is a deep look into the subject He is one of the top political and cultural icons in recent times.
Sounds “edge-of-your-seat” already, right? Ah, there’s more, as the points below tease.

After reading, you may feel the need to take a hot shower. That hot mess you’re not alone. The 32-year old former bartender is not at all familiar with economics, math, or logic. This nonsense sounds like it was written by a Kennedy in the height of Kennedyism. ThatThe whole thing. Hilarious, of course, given “Take Up Space,” which in the opinion of at least half of America is all she does. That is, if you don’t mind constant attention seeking.

In another ROFL moment, as noted by The Blaze, Fox News contributor Geraldo fired off a tweet in support of AOC earlier this month that I wonder if he’d like to take back:
“Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez outshines every other member of Congress in eloquence and passionate sincerity.”
“Louder with Crowder” podcaster Steven Crowder promptly buried Geraldo:
“This is a stupid tweet and you should feel stupid for having tweeted it.”
With this, another person was awarded the victory beauty:
“You are embarrassing your own mustache.”
Yup Alexandria Ocasio Cortez. The gift that keeps going. Evidently, this is true even for Planet Looney Tunes.
