You never quite know what you’ll find when you glance at Twitter, whether it’s Elayne Boosler referring to SCOTUS as SCROTUS or octogenarian Ruth Buzzi repeatedly dining indoors at restaurants during a pandemic. There’s also Bebe Neuwirth’s frequent sharing of cat videos and George Wallace’s jokes about gonorrhea parades to entertain you.
Something I didn’t expect to encounter on a lazy Saturday afternoon was the legendary Betty Buckley, she of Carrie gym teacher, Eight Is Enough, and Tony Award-winning fame, attacking Senator John Cornyn (R-TX). In response to Cornyn’s tweet that “A 104-seat U.S. Senate is on the agenda if Democrats sweep the election,” the 73-year-old Buckley replied “You better fuckin’ believe it, you demented throw back!!”

The sentiment is far from shocking—after all, they’re both Texans and Buckley’s certainly correct that Cornyn’s a demented throwback—it was just nice to stumble across it during another round of pandemic doomscrolling.
