(196,805 posts)Rogerss outburst stemmed from an offer floated by GOP leadership that would give Gaetz the gavel of one of his subcommittees, according to two people familiar with the dynamics. According to a fellow lawmaker, Rogers believed there are more qualified members to take on the role.

(21,966 posts)Not that it means everything, but Gaetz is 24 years his junior. He is also into fitness and in far better shape. The only advantage Rodgers appears to have is height (5'9 over Gaetz's 5'7), but that is slight. Of course, ya never do know until it actually happens.

(25,529 posts)insulting and that the Republican strategy was not to offend the asshole before they got his vote.
That is why his colleague put his hand over his mouth.
Now the GOP is going to treat Gaetz like someone who has earned respect. If they don't, he has the power to stop, obstruct, delay any action of any kind by the Republican caucus. They have put themselves at the mercy of a man who preys on teenage girls because he is thrilled by the power he can wield over them.
The Republicans will rue the day they didn't expel some of these nutjobs when they had the chance.

(72,289 posts)On the rare occasions when I have women flirting with a middle-aged married man, they tell me they think baldness is sexy. I take them at their word.
I have never, ever heard anyone say they thought bad toupees were sexy. Never.
Why does this guy do that to himself?
