I considered stealing this pun outright. I decided not to out of fear of expulsion from the pun community. I take my status as a horrid punster quite seriously.
The punning pundit is Molly Ball of the Atlantic. It was posted when the Trumpcare Bill hopped out of the hopper:
The GOP is in quite a pickle today. You might even call it…
…the Art of the Dill.

That was a helluva sweet pun and I’m not Mollycoddling Ms. Ball by saying that. In fact, I relish the chance to praise a punning pundit.
That is all.
Groan!
Though high-profile, it was a rather mediocre pun. Better:
“The GOP stinks at governing, as described in my book, The Fart of the Deal”.
You missed the gem that popped up in the comments; something along the lines of “I’m tired of the GOP gherkin us around”.
