Burn-ie Sanders: Vermont governor endorses Hillary Clinton

[cali]

8. And boy can she have that endorsement- from a creep who cheated his disabled neighbor

out of his land.

and from the most unpopular guv we've had in memory. Shumlin barely won reelection last year in the bluest of blue states. It went to legislature and even some dems voted against him.

Here's more on Scummy Shummy from a post I wrote last year. I have no problem with him endorsing HRC, but I think his timing is pure scummy shummy- a few days before Bernie's big VT kickoff. This so illustrates why we Vermonters dislike him. Shummy's done in VT. He's angling for a job in an HRC admin.

In a state this small, you can't get away for too long with the shit Peter Shumlin has pulled. Yes, he's supposedly the most liberal governor in the country, but his incompetency, the ongoing disaster of the health exchange, his lack of virtually any good relationships with fellow lawmakers in his own party, and the nasty story about his cheating a poor neighbor out of his property, all caught up with him. In Vermont, all politics are super local.

Gov. Peter Shumlin had to sneak out the back door of his own inauguration.

That should tell you a thing or two about how politically weakened the East Montpelier Democrat finds himself as he settles in to a third two-year term.

Blocking Shumlin's path from the dais of the Vermont House to its front entrance Thursday afternoon was a group of Vermont Workers' Center activists irate over his decision three weeks ago to scrap his long-promised single-payer health care plan. After the governor concluded his inaugural remarks, the protesters sat down in the center aisle and would not leave the House for more than five hours, at which point the Vermont State Police arrested 29 of them.

Left-wing health care advocates weren't the only ones standing in Shumlin's path. Earlier in the day, 69 members of the Vermont legislature took the remarkable step of voting against returning him to office, despite the fact that he won a plurality in last November's election.
