Colin Bonini is the human teabag who is constantly putting himself in and taking himself out. He is a Republican state senator who has been eyeballing statewide office almost as soon as he got to the Delaware General Assembly in 1994.
Given the multiple meanings of the word “teabag,” in both our political discourse now and our … ahem… um private discourse (as well as the actual meaning of hot tea that Celia is describing), I found this sentence very amusing.
The rest of the article is, shockingly, worth the read, if only for the utter disdain she has for Colin Bonini. He has obviously punked her on multiple occasions through the years with tips for her early lines.
