Teddy Turner (repub candidate for Congress) trashes father Ted at every opportunity

[MADem]

4. What an ungrateful little asshole. I should think a "family values" Republican would recoil from a

child so eager to throw Dad under the bus...no matter what.

He hasn't learned how to "disagree without being disagreeable." Putz.

This part of the piece is a scream:

The same day in Beaufort, Turner joked about nightmarish Thanksgiving get-togethers and called out his father for his liberal environmental views — tweaking him as a hypocrite who drives a green car only to hopscotch around the country on his CO2-spewing private plane.
“I’m like, ‘Dad, you can’t drive the Prius to the jet,” Turner said.
And in an interview with Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly, Turner joked that his father’s “take is that he owns a lot of trees so his carbon footprint is pretty limited.”
Turner says his relationship with his father is actually warm; any rancor between them is pretty much limited to politics. After his son ribbed him on Fox News, Ted Turner sent Teddy a note. “I saw your interview with Bill O’Reilly on Fox,” it read, “and I thought you did a great job! I’m really proud of you, and I hope you win. Best of luck. Love, Dad.”

I wonder if he'll play the "only kidding" game if dear old dad dies and leaves him a paltry sum and gives the bulk of his fortune to liberal causes....
