Joe Walsh to Lou Dobbs: When you wake up next to Trump & kiss his forehead, do you get his coffee?

Walsh was responding to this Mediaite story on Dobbs saying Republicans criticizing Trump for his attacks on McCain are "asinine":

Walsh's tweet, minutes ago:





Oh Lou, Lou, Lou, Lou, Lou, Lou, Lou, Lou, Lou, Lou, Lou...@LouDobbs, when you wake up every morning next to the President, and you roll over and give him a kiss on the forehead, do you get him his cup of coffee too?

Of course I'm not confusing him with the greatest guitar player in the world, but this doesn't sound like the man who could have sounded the alarm back when it mattered. Perhaps they'd already whisked him out of office by the Era of Trump I.

Walsh was a total nut case. Somehow the Trump administration suddenly makes him sane, but I wouldn't trust a word he says. He is an opportunist through and through.

just a trump hating conservative who understands that Trump is bad for America and the world. He'll still in love with the 2nd Amendment.

He couldn't make a living doing much of anything, so he tried politics. The republican party is full of his type, using politics for self promotion.

We tend to see a bunch of them during republican presidential primaries as well. Herman Cain, Mike Huckabee, Ben Carson, Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich, Michele Bachmann, Gary Johnson - They get a lot of exposure so they can go on the lecture circuit, write books, get a tv/radio gig, etc. Of course, there was the ultimate publicity hound, Donald Trump, but he ended up president in spite of himself.

The “You lie!” Joe from Obama’s healthcare speech was and still is the undistinguished gentleman from South Carolina, Joe Wilson (not the Valerie Plame Joe Wilson!) who is obviously a piece of work in his own right.

This non-musical Joe Walsh is a one term t bagger who said among other things that Obama was elected because he’s an articulate black man, and that birth control is not about women. He was honored by the Family Research Council for his “unwavering support of the family” at a time when he owed over $100k in back child support.

After his one term I thought he’d crawled off to do talk radio or lobby or whatever. Whatever scam pays the best. No idea how much child support he owes now.

But, no, it's actually the RW d-bag. Imagine that.

I guess even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
