Dianne Feinstein: Keep Brian Schweitzer ‘away from my husband’

Attention Brian Schweitzer: Dianne Feinstein’s husband may want a word with you.

The former Democratic Montana governor had harsh words for the Senate Intelligence chairwoman in a profile published by National Journal on Thursday, criticizing her in untoward and graphic terms as too close to the Central Intelligence Agency to then turn around and criticize it.

“She was the woman who was standing under the streetlight with her dress pulled all the way up over her knees, and now she says, ‘I’m a nun,’ when it comes to this spying!” Schweitzer said in the profile — in which he also said House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) set off his “gaydar.”

Feinstein said on Thursday she was aware of the remarks and laughed knowingly when asked about them. Her reaction: “You better keep him away from my husband.”

Feinstein then made a hand gesture indicating that Schweitzer’s remarks were not mentally balanced. “That’s all I’m going to say,” she added, before stepping onto the Senate floor

Both of em, blech. But somebody does need to call out her and her husband's war profiteering. It shows how shameful they all are that nobody does.

out of the speculation...so no one will bother him any more about it.

What was he thinking if that isn't the case with him?

So do the women. I tweeted to him reminding him, he needs to stop being Montanan in public.

I love my home state, I really do, but we are kind of different out there. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad. We often come across as crude and blunt and ill-mannered to civilized people.
