This is absolutely hilarious and deserves a Pulitzer nomination.

Just a nomination? I assume they're driving to my house for an on-the-spot presentation at this very moment.

Totally justified. All other 'nominations' summarily rescinded, due to insufficient hilarity.

This story reminded me of

what happened in Puerto Rico in 2019 when we had to reveal a Telegram chat with then governor Rosselló and his aides. I was the first reporter who broke that story Comments were so repulsive that the entire population protested and in 2 weeks he had resigned.

Won't happen this time. The PR leadership had some minimal level shame.

This was funny. One of the best takes on the current absurdity.

Jeff, a carrier pigeon that smells like gin keeps dropping off maps of Greenland at my house do you think it's related?

The Walz typos, Hegseth/Tulsi exchanges…all of it so great. I was keeled over laughing. So awesome, thanks Jeff.

I didn't feel good about it but it was sitting right there, so skipping it would have been malpractice.

If I worked for the Onion or the Babylon Bee I would say we should just run Goldberg's article as is, no changes.

Jeff's take is funny, the fact that it's not far off the real thing is not.

I have been a Jeff on the earth for almost 63 years, and this is, by far, the most I have laughed at "Jeff" and "Jefficism" - too, too funny!

Thank you very much, this is the kind of piece that will stick and hopefully be helpful in bringing about the changes needed in this funny farm we are calling the United States.

I love that Vance and Rubio are the only ones acting like adults in this chat, similar to the genuine one
