1. Oh noes ... Is that Pete King? The one who wants to be Sen. from NY?

If it is, he's not going to win over any many
liberal NY voters saying things like that ...

2. There are no words to describe how much I hate that guy..

I am saddled with his ass in Nassau Country.

He is 100% a creature of AIPAC.

5. He's absolutely shooting himself in the foot with statements like that

I heard that RFK Jr. now supports Kristen Gillibrand,
but I didn't think of her as a strong statewide
candidate ... but if King keeps shooting his mouth
off like this, she'll win (re-?)election in a landslide!

3. I hope he runs for the Senate because he will lose resoundingly

(then maybe we'll get some decent representation in the 3rd district)

4. Wow, Is that guy mentally ill?

A medal for coming up with verbiage that makes torture not appear to be torture? How fucked up is that?

6. Well written?

7. Gosh....you mean the repugs would TURN INTO the party of "no"?

We have so much cooperation from them now. They are working so diligently with Congress and the White House. I'd hate to lose that spirit of cooperation that we currently have.

What's to lose????

8. Well, not a medal, rather a room with metal bars.

And a real big roommate.

9. As one of three Republicans among NY's 29 congressmen,....

this is how he seeks to keep the flame alive? He does have a history of sympathy for thuggishness, having been a big enthusiast for the Irish Republican Army, so I guess what Bybee encouraged is small potatoes to him.
