Seriously, WTF? Who SAYS things like this in 2016 in front of a TV camera?
Okay Democrats, looks like you won't have to spend any more money on Senator Duckworth. You can divert some extra funds to Florida.
UPDATE: Well, I might have spoken too soon. Looks like Jason Chafetz just saved his ass by stepping on today's headline about Kirk, and replacing it with the bogus story about Comey 're-opening' the email investigation.
"GOTCHA!"

Which makes his trying to chide and disparage her, even more vile.

"He lied about being a Marine sniper to get a lighter sentence. Then officials dug deeper. "
(He never served at all but claimed he served in iraq like Kirk claimed)

(29,067 posts)e.g. It would have been most unlikely for people from Thailand (Tammy's mother is Thai) to be in America in the 18th century fighting in the Revolutionary War...What Kirk was ignorant of is Tammy's heritage on her fathers side, which apparently included ancestors who fought in that war.

(1,370 posts)I posted some thoughtful, polite comments to the effect that he needs to apologize immediately and take a good look in the mirror.
Oddly, his Facebook doesn't have a word about the debate, people are dropping posts all over his other back-patting posts.

(23,983 posts)...commented that some of Kirk's inappropriate utterances were thought, after his stroke, to be a result of that. However, he was recently declared by his doctor not to have any cognitive deficits.
So, when he says mean-spirited, shitty things, it is because he meant to say them.
That was really vile and snide.
