My (soon to be) Republican Congressman Wraps Himself In Ignominy

My newly elected Congressman, Andy Harris, recently won the 1st District seat from Frank Kratovil, a Democrat who voted against Obamacare twice.  Kratovil beat Harris in their first race in 2008.  Here's a story of Mr. Harris' recent performance at a gathering of Freshmen and their families and staffs.  Apparently, Dr. Harris (yes, he's a Doc, you know, the people who actually "deliver" health care) was a tad miffed that he and his family would not have the fat healthcare plan enjoyed by our representatives in Washington as soon as he is sworn in on January 3; rather, he'd have to wait 28 days until 1 February.  It seems the good doctor  has NEVER had a job where benefits didn't start RIGHT AWAY. 

I said to the Kitten this morning--this is strike 1 toward a primary challenge....

OH, so that guy is YOUR Congressman? What an asswipe. He needs to learn the game otherwise he'll be back schlepping bedpans real soon.

He's a Republican who's lived his whole life in the Peoples Republic. How is really supposed to know any better how to act?

A primary challenge by...YOU?

Yes, Sally.

You better get busy, dear.

The Conservative Wahoo said...

Two more strikes, dear.
