Time for deluded Republican frogs to stop carrying water for venomous scorpion Putin — before he stings them too
NY Post
My favorite fable is “The Scorpion and the Frog.”
You know the one: A scorpion wants to cross a river but can’t swim, so it asks a frog to carry it across. The frog hesitates, fearful that the scorpion will sting, but the scorpion promises not to, explaining that if he did, they’d both drown.
The frog thinks this is logical, so it carries the scorpion across the river, and halfway over, the scorpion stings the frog, condemning them both to death.
“Why did you do that?” exclaimed the incredulous frog.
“Sorry,” came the reply. “I couldn’t help myself, it’s my nature.”
The fable is Russian in origin, which is ironic given that I’m recounting it now because it reminds me of Vladimir Putin and his merry band of brainwashed, demented, deluded or simply woefully naïve supporters.
