[Image from Daily Kos]Patrick McHenry is one of the weirdest characters in Congress. A Repugnican Representative from North Carolina, he's been involved in at least one tawdry mess and every time he opens his mouth he proves he is one of the dimmer bulbs in the whole chandelier of Repugnican dim bulbs.
Melissa McEwan at Shakesville, picked up on this quote a couple of days ago:
"We will lose on legislation," opined Rep. McHenry. "But we will win the message war every day, and every week, until November 2010. Our goal is to bring down approval numbers for [Speaker Nancy] Pelosi and for House Democrats. That will take repetition. This is a marathon, not a sprint."
Melissa sums it up nicely:
"In case you were under the mistaken assumption that the GOP is interested in anything other than being obstructionist wankers, or that they might be putting forth an alternative agenda with new and innovative ideas to help America, they are officially not."
You might also think that the Repugnican leadership would at least make an attempt to distance themselves from the moronic Mr. McHenry. But nooooooo. John Boehner's office even went so far to say they agreed with the dim bulb, but that he didn't go far enough. The Repugs need to fight Obama all the way because Obama was obviously going about things all wrong and cared only about improper legislation that didn't match up with Repugnican "values."
Heh. Heh.
There's more here. Daily Kos has a good article here. In fact, just Google McHenry. There are so many articles about this buffoon that it'll make your eyes water. Actually, just thinking that he's one of many Repugnican buffoons in Congress may make you cry!
