Republican candidate 'body-slams' Guardian reporter in Montana

[skeeter]

@Smokin Joe
Yeah, no doubt.

But I wasn't going to vote for him anyway.
He's got a RINO smell to him, ala Raciot - Something folks here still have a sensitivity to.

So its an aggro-RINO or a bango playing nudist. Only slightly preferable to the typical choice we have here in CA elections.

Is there a political equivalent of the Darwin Award?

[catfish1957]

Well thank God that the arbiter of good taste Bens Asse has given us his opinion. I know many of us were dying to hear what a Senator from Nebraska had to say about a House election. I will sleep easier now.

Ben's usually a pretty good guy.  I'll give him a pass this time.

Is there a political equivalent of the Darwin Award? He might win yet, but if not does he get a 'Dean Scream" for just being dumb? Maybe a bronzed foot with a bullet hole in it....?

If he was hard core Conservative, it wouldn't matter - and would probably help. But he ain't

And btw... the cities thing doesn't matter as much as you'd think - They weren't going to vote for him anyway, and nobody much pays attention to the liberal rags.

[Smokin Joe]

Oh, come on. Have a Hart.

Yeah.. I was gonna throw for the Libertarian, just out of spite. They ougta know better than to run a RINO.

You have a point. But I doubt the whole thing is going to help him much. A fighter is one thing, but a hothead is another. We've all seen those.

   That's simply not true @Emjay we only get mad if you spill the bong water on the 20 year old carpet.

Dude. High class. Still see orange shag from the 70's around here.

This was one of the most piss poor choices we have had in a long time..a bored millionaire trying to get elected to office, any office, and a aging flower child...

I wrote in Mickey Mouse as that's what the election turned out to be...

Yeah, that's right. Like I said, I will withhold judgement on the thing till I hear the whole story.
Didn't matter to my vote anyway. Dang near did, but meh.

I'm not sure which was better, the orange or the green...

YEP. Especially after 50 calls or so in the last two weeks trying to get me fired up... Three of them on the Sabbath, and most of them while I was eating dinner. I gave em an earful more than once...

[roamer_1]

The only thing the green had going was the purpley bits here and there.. Or maybe that was Popsicle stains 

[corbe]

purple microdot, I remember those.

[roamer_1]

Yeah... I spent a fair amount of my teens and early twenties examining carpet up close...

I was going to say 'popsicle'...

It happened in front of three FOX employees.  They were in the middle of an interview with the Gov.  The Guardian idiot interrupted and wouldn't stop.  FOX says the gov lost it, grabbed him on either side of his neck, threw him to the ground, jumped on top of him and punched him three times.

Not smart.  But I understand.  ;)

37% of voters had already voted.  Wonder if the good gov will still win the election tonight?

I know.  One reason not to have early voting.  Ha, ha.  I hope he wins anyway.

BTW, that description bears no resemblance to what I heard on Fox earlier but .... oh, well.

My son had the privilege of observing Texas style honkytonk behavior up close and personal back in the day.  He learned one thing.  Bar fights are nothing like in the movies.  One blow usually ends them.

I didn't watch all day.  Just saw the one interview with the woman on Martha McCallum's boring show.

Knowing Montanans as I do, it's likely that he will get MORE votes than he otherwise would have if the word that he decked a reporter gets out fast enough!

I take it you've never been to the Dew Drop on a Friday night...

We was out one night on a scenic cruise and ran low. So we headed for town. Dad and my uncle headed into the bar for refills and told us boys to wait in the truck. (we were riding in the bed). Pretty soon we hear some crashing and banging, yelling, etc. My dad and uncle come beat feetin' it out of the bar with a couple of cases of beer each. They sorta throw them at us. My brother asked what that big crash was. My uncle said it was the bar tipping over. What's going on? Continuing crashing and yelling.Two a-holes just started a fight between the cowboys and the Mexicans--we gotta GO.

Sounds about right :D

I think the wild man (Joe Walsh)  of the James Gang and Eagles makes more sense.

@catfish1957

His Maserati does 185.

Life's been good to him, so far.
