What's the arrangement here?

The Blogactive Mike Rogers, not the other one. Nothing came of it.

I think she's a beard too. She's probably in it for the power and money, so the pay is good.

You've picked a dumb place to plant your snark. Perhaps she's turned on by his moral flexibility. Maybe he's hung like a Kentucky thoroughbred. For whatever reason they're together, they're together. Let's beat 'em up for their obnoxious immoral public policy positions and leave the sweeping hatred to the experts.

Just because YOU don't find him (or anyone else) attractive, doesn't mean nobody does.

gross-looking older jerkwads like Turtle-Man unless they have money or power to offer.

but you are assuming that money and power are not involved in attraction.

He must have a cute way of getting on and off.

It takes hold at a young age

He's so handsome and debonair.

Why did she marry the turtle?

Would you say the same about Kucinich and his wife. He looks like a troll and she's much younger and very attractive.

Who knows what attracts people to one another? There are some unusual couples who seem to have a good marriage. Why not them?

With Kucinich and Queen Boudicca.

Who knows or cares, really? I've seen stranger unions IRL than both of these. Different strokes and all.

Different strokes and all that jazz............

She's 59 years old. He's 71 years old. Twelve years isn't that huge of an age difference.

Just one of McConnell's racist remarks:

Today Senate Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell apologized for racist remarks that were released to The Atlantic. He reportedly opined in 2008 that Democrat nominee Barack Obama would do very well because: "America is ready to elect its first African American President, especially one with light-skin and and no Negro dialect."

American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy, I mean, that's a storybook, man"

Move along citizens, nothing to hear here....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden

Always with a foot in his mouth, and sometimes with both of them at the same time.

Had Obama only been fluent in African-American Vernacular English, had he been very dark skinned, it would have been a harder task for him to be elected.

We claim that American is deeply racist, then as soon as a statement seems to acknowledge ways to minimize the effect of the racism we act as though only the originator of the statement is racist.

Don't dish out what you can not take. I do think it is in bad taste to criticize one' ethically, should not be done. He needs to take some time to publicly apologize for his remarks.

Uh... really?

The remarks were hardly the worst insults I've seen in the political game - they were stupid. I'm sure However, what McConnell himself has done to this country is far more of an 'ultimate outrage'.

I'm sure the swill thrown at Michelle Obama didn't offend him either.

It attacks the fact that as Labor Secretary, Chao oversaw and encouraged millions of U.S. jobs to be outsourced to China.

She was the Secretary of management

is why they pulled those tweets and apologized.

A progressive group is well aware of her record on job exportation as Labor Secretary. The mainstream public is not likely aware which makes the usual R lies/propaganda easy to get over on the public.

That it didn't play a part in her decision?

Look at Jonathan Pollard...he was a US citizen too, even born here...yet he didn't hesitate to betray America to Israel!

The fact is we don't know how she formed her decisions, do we?

So we can't trust any of 'em?

Fuck Turtle, he's the one dragging race into it for a sympathy vote...

Unless all the other rank by longevity members were to suddendly leave office....

" Our Goal is to make Obama a one term President" that is what i'm referencing.
Sorry for the confusion.

LBJ became the Democrats' minority leader during his first term in the Senate.

Oh ya, he was egging them on because he wanted to make Obama a one term President.

What a hypocrite.

See my post earlier.

action taken by Mitch that benefited any "white" person. If that's his criteria for racist, everything he's done that benefited "whites" is racist too.

excuse any racial slurs directed at her, and should be condemned vigorously by all true progressives

I have no idea who the hell "Progress Kentucky" are, but they need to control their messaging if they want to play with the grown ups. That racist shit doesn't fly on this side of the divide.

Bring up her country of origin was completely out of line. I'm pretty sure if the same type of ad was directed toward a Democrat, everyone would be up in arms.

......... when Ashley Judd officially announces that she's running for Senate!

slurs.

Abraham Lincoln freed not only the slaves, but the unshaven as well. Indeed, his first act as a public figure was to grow a symbol of his solidarity with the oppressed prior to his inauguration.

I wonder if we can find ways to take him down that don't make us look like jerks

And I hold her in contempt. Her heritage is irrelevant.

SHE'S A FUCKING REPUBLICAN AND HAS BEEN ALL ABOUT SENDING OUR UNION JOBS OVERSEAS AND SO HAS HER WORTHLESS HUSBAND.

Let me do some more stereotyping about a bloated chinless and spineless family-values Republican.

Bet dollars to donuts she's the second or third Mrs. McConnell.

Kenyan Muslim Socialist Marxist right Mitch?

That actually sounds like a joke that Ra$h Limpballs would say on his sh0w.

The rest of us are busy looking for it.

Her too

And just leave it at that.

So the comment is not racist. Having said that, I think it is always best not to drag the spouse into the dialog, even one that is as political as McConnell's wife.

People use their "gut instincts" about the issue of off-shoring. Further publicity for this story out there will only hurt him.

are you fucking shitting me?! this is what people are wadded up about?!!

I wonder what he paid her.

Come on Mitch, you don't think she married you for your looks do you? I know she didn't marry you for your intellect. So not much left here. Let's see, how about influence? Now that sounds more plausible.

Do I see bones through her nose, or some exaggerated garb that negatively depicts her heritage/culture?
Ashley Judd, who hasn't even said she's running, has already demanded a stop to it.
This doesn't even come close to HIS thumbing his nose at an entire country because now have a BLACK president who is overwhelming popular.

It does not excuse them just because they are a liberal group. At least they apologized.

In other words, an American of Chinese descent cannot possibly put America first. They will always be foreigners and untrustworthy.

It's a variation on Obama secretly favoring Kenya, because he's of Kenyan descent.
