Showing Original Post only (View all)Mitch McConnell Brandishes Gun at CPAC...insanity rules [View all]

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., came onto the stage at the Conservative Political Action Conference today brandishing some touch a long gun.
McConnell held the rifle over his head and the CPAC crowd loved it.
Moments later, McConnell handed the gift, a lifetime achievement award from the National Rifle Association, to his retiring colleague, Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn, who is leaving his term early for health reasons.
This is for you, McConnell said. For your distinguished service.
Kentuckys senior senator faces his toughest re-election bid yet, and it is being made even more difficult by disenchantment among voters in his own party.
McConnell delivered a red meat speech to the conservative activists, pummeling President Obama and Democrats for having done next to nothing for the little guy, failing working families, and flaunting the Constitution.
