GOP Rep Doesn't Exactly Deny Last Person To Touch Him Wound Up Dead

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/don-young-somebody-ended-up-dead

It is suddenly a bit of an open question whether the last person to touch Rep. Don Young (R-AK) somehow ended up dead.

Earlier this month, according to the Alaska Dispatch News, Young's Democratic challenger Forrest Dunbar said that he had put his hand on Young's arm backstage while they were talking before a debate.

“He freaked out. There is no other way to describe it," Dunbar told ADN. “He kind of snarled at me and said, ‘Don’t you ever touch me. Don’t ever touch me. The last guy who touched me ended up on the ground dead.'"...

Well, Roll Call profiled Young this week, noting that he has "a reputation for being ornery, aggressive -- and maybe even a little unstable." The news outlet asked Young about the exchange with Dunbar.


He ought to be on the House Psychopath Committee along with Michael Grimm (R-Punched Out A Reporter)!

The Dem who is running against him is a total idiot. Who knows how that happened. Jon Stewart showed some video of him this past week.

Men like these assholes are perfect for today's GOP. They have no shame. They've had no shame since 2000.

What a moran!

Actually, it might be kind of fun to have a Dem who's almost as goofy as, say, Gohmert.
