In the run-up to Tuesday’s special election in New York’s 23rd congressional district, Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman met with the editorial board of the Watertown Daily Times, the largest paper in the district. After Hoffman “showed no grasp of the bread-and-butter issues pertinent to district residents,” his companion in the meeting, former House Majority Leader Dick Armey, rose to his defense by dismissing regional concerns as “parochial” issues that would not determine the outcome of the election. Armey’s comment was a major factor in the paper offering a “flat-out blistering” critique of Hoffman when it endorsed Democrat Bill Owens. Now, Armey is throwing Hoffman under the bus, saying that “he didn’t pay enough attention to local concerns”:Man, what a douchebag. Poor Doug Hoffman has just found out the only thing Wingnuts hate more than liberals, women, gays, immigrants, minorities and science is a Wingnut who can't win elections.Armey, the former House GOP majority leader, noted that Democrats had seized on Hoffman’s inability to address local concerns.
“The fact of the matter is, he didn’t pay enough attention to the local concerns, and they were able to tag him as being unaware of the local needs and concerns,” Armey said.
Welcome to the Rack, Dougie. Enjoy your stay.
You ever get the feeling dick armey is a drunk?Just saying
ReplyDeleteI dunno about drunk, but the guy sure is a horrible douchebag. I thought Doug Hoffman was a complete empty suit, bought and paid for by his corporate masters, but even I have to summon some sympathy for the speed at which his memory is being erased from the annals of Teabaggerdom.
