The old Cotton Belt’s eponymous congressman, Tom Cotton, announced his candidacy for the US Senate seat from Arkansas now held by Mark Pryor.
In his not-quite-screwed-on-straight self-nomination speech (watch it – you’d think somebody just shot his hound dog) he actually said, “It’s time to say enough [sic]. Arkansans need a senator who will stand with them and stand up to Barack Obama. A senator who will say no more to the crony capitalism…”
This, from a politician whose election in 2012 was bought and paid for by America’s ultra-right-wing extremist billionaire boy’s club!
(Update 2013/08/11: Today’s New York Times ran a front page report on newbie congressmen receiving copius campaign cash from their capitalist cronies on Wall Street. Take a wild guess who’s on the list.)
Where he’s from it used to be considered a personal disgrace to even have a Republican in the family. I guess some aspects of the 1950’s weren’t so bad after all…
